Sandy M’s review of Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas Historical Romance published by Bantam 19 May 09 This is my first Sherry Thomas book, much to my dismay. I’ve chatted with other readers who have read her books and while they all enjoy their reads, it’s a split decision on whether they like [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Let It Ride by Jillian Burns Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Blaze 01 May 2009 When I’m looking for an emotional read from Harlequin I tend to gravitate towards the SuperRomance or Silhouette Special Edition lines. Frankly, the last place I expect to find “emotional” is within the covers [...]

Holly‘s review of Summer At the Lake by Linda Barrett Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 12 May 09 I’ve read countless romance novels that feature abuse victims – almost always the heroine – but I think this is the first where the victim is a young girl. This was definitely hard to read at [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Twice The Pleasure by Portia Da Costa Erotica short story ebook released by Spice Briefs 1 May 09 What is it about high school reunions that seem to inspire so many different types of stories? Whether it be the heroine who wants a hunky fake fiance’ on her arm [...]

Lawson’s review of Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas Historical romance released by Bantam 19 May 09 If you haven’t read Thomas’ first two books, you need to go and get them and read them ASAP. If this is your first Thomas book, you won’t be sorry. It’s loosely connected to Private Arrangements and [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Man Most Likely by Cindi Myers Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin American 12 May 2009 I’m certainly not alone in my desire to see more full-figured romance heroines. Unfortunately when such a book does come along it’s either false advertising (note to authors: a 5’10″ heroine who wears [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Diamonds of Welbourne Manor by Diane Gaston, Deb Marlowe & Amanda McCabe Historical romance anthology released by Harlequin Historical 1 May 09 Anthologies can be great fun, and provide great reading, when they are well executed. Such is the case with The Diamonds Of Welbourne Manor, a connected [...]

Lawson’s review of Memoirs of a Scandalous Red Dress (The Bachelor Chronicles, Book 5) by Elizabeth Boyle Historical romance released by Avon 28 Apr 09 Gwen gave a review of Confessions of a Little Black Gown, which is definitely different than the way I felt about that book. But then I mentioned in my review [...]

Lawson’s review of Vision in White (Bride Quartet, Book 1) by Nora Roberts Contemporary romance released by Jove 28 Apr 09 This is the first book in a new series by Nora Roberts. It’s also the first non-paranormal series of Roberts in a few years, and while those are fun, it’s nice to see a [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner Suspense/thriller hardcover released by Bantam 15 Jul 08, paperback release 19 May 09 I came to read this book because Wendy the Super Librarian and super awesome Harlequin reviewer herself blogged about it. Since Sybil so kindly provided me with the e-copy that I read, I [...]

Limecello’s review of The Legend of the Werestag by Tessa Dare Historical romance released by Samhain Publishing 12 May 09 I’ve been suffering from a reading slump recently (more on that later), but I heard some buzz about this book. A few people I consider to be discerning readers said they enjoyed it, and after [...]

This book is being released in hardcover, though the [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Temperatures Rising by Brenda Jackson Contemporary romance released by Kimani Romance 1 May 09 I tend to avoid romances where the hero is a professional athlete. Why? Because I have yet to find an author who doesn’t blunder it by doing half-assed research. Particularly annoying since it feeds into [...]

Sandy M’s review of Saved By the Monarch (Defending the Crown, Book 1) by Dana Marton Contemporary Romantic suspense released by Harlequin Intrigue 12 May 09 I like a good Harlequin Intrigue every now and again.  Dana Marton is an author who is new to me, and she has given me one terrific Intrigue in [...]
