Gwen's review of The Captive Heart (The Border Chronicles, Book 3) by Bertrice Small
Historical romance released by NAL Trade 7 Oct 08
Those of you who know me know I cut my historical romance teeth on Bertrice Small and Roberta Gellis. Both authors occupy a special place in the bookcase in my heart. Now, imagine my frustration and disappointment when I pick up one of their recent books and discover my tastes have completely changed! I felt like wailing, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" So here is not so much a review of the book as a review of how my tastes have changed. Read more

LauraD's review of The Black Dagger Brotherhood: An Insider's Guide by J.R. Ward
Paranormal Romance reference released by NAL Trade 7 Oct 08
If you aren't yet familiar with J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, then I've gotta ask: where have you been? Whether you've read the books or not, whether you like the books or not, Ward created both a phenomenon and a train that won't stop rolling. When she announced on her website that a "compendium" about the Brotherhood would be released before her hardback debut next year, I was one of many Khool-Aid drinkers eager to find out more about the alternate world she's created.

Holly's review of Master: An Erotic Novel of the Count of Monte Cristo by Colette Gale
Erotic Romance published by NAL Trade 6 May 08
I'm a huge fan of The Count of Monte Cristo. I believe I first read the novel by Alexandre Dumas when I was a freshman in high school and it really resonated with me. Since then, I've re-read it at least once a year. So when I heard (almost a year ago) that Colette Gail was going to write an erotic accounting of the novel, well, I just had to read it, didn't I?

Lawson's review of Red-Hot and Royal by Susanna Carr
Contemporary romance released by NAL Trade 3 Jun 08
I don't know what it is, but I have a thing for prince stories. Maybe it's my own unwise crush on Prince William or love of happily ever after fairy tales, but a prince story can usually drag me in. This book has not one, not two, but three sexy princes who have sworn off commitment to be playboys and run away from love. A friend of theirs, Prince Hugo, has just gotten married and in the international spotlight Zain, Rafael and Santos are next.

Limecello's review of Seven Nights of Sin by Lacey Alexander
Contemporary Erotic Romance released by NAL Trade 1 April 08
I'd heard a lot of buzz about this book, so when I found it in my mailbox, I was very excited. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I thought I would, but it does have a fantastic ending.

Devon's review of A Fiend In Need by Maureen Child
Contemporary paranormal romance released by NAL Trade 4 Mar 08
This book contains: a snarky, flippant narrator; multiple Buffy/Angel references; the overuse of the word "hoo-hah" as a euphemism for girl parts; several possible love interests; and, no HEA in sight.
If these things make you want to groan and gnash your teeth, consider yourself warned. Read more

Nikki's review of Bad Girl by Maya Reynolds
Contemporary erotic romance released 4 Sep 07 by NAL Trade
Sandy Davis watches out for people. As a matter of fact, she's gotten in the habit of watching out for everyone in the building across the street from her condo... through their windows, with her telescope. She feels responsible for them, in a way. And if she happens to see some of their intimate moments and slide her hand into her panties, well, nobody knows but her. Or so she thought. Read more
