Review: Spin the Bottle by Elizabeth Scott

Limecello's review of Spin the Bottle by Elizabeth Scott
Erotic romance anthology released by NAL on 2 Oct 07

I read Elizabeth Scott's (a.k.a. Janice Maynard's) first book Naughty Housewives, and knew I wanted to read this book as well. This sexy, single-author anthology really pushes the envelop, and runs the gamut of intriguing, interesting experiences. If you like your books with a lot of heat, this is the book for you, because there's a bit of something for everyone.  Read more

REVIEW: Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night by Kresley Cole

Limecello's review of Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (Immortals After Dark, Book 3) by Kresley Cole
Paranormal romance released by Pocket Star Oct 07

Book three of the Immortals After Dark series was very enjoyable. Wicked Deeds actually happens while much of No Rest is taking place, and you have to feel bad for Bowen. I think a lot of what happens to him is downplayed - after all, he's a tough Lykae - one who would have been king-so what does he need with half his face? Honestly. It's fine it got blown off. Gah.

REVIEW: Over Hexed by Vicki Lewis Thompson

Laura J's review of Over Hexed by Vicki Lewis Thompson
Contemporary Paranormal Romance released by Onyx Publishing 2 Oct 07

As you all know, I love the funnay stuff. So a couple of years ago when a friend showed me one of Ms Thompson's books, I said sure I'll give her a try. I am so glad I did. I have read all of her Nerd books and have been trying to locate as many of her backlists books as I can find. It's a pretty funny sight to see a grown woman at a flea market getting a little excited when she locates one.

Review: Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

Lawson's review of Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas
Historical romance released by St. Martin's 2 Oct 07

As much as I love Lisa Kleypas and her books, it's amazing that it took me six months to read this one. I've got to say though that the minute I was finished with Mine Till Midnight, I really wanted to read Seduce Me at Sunrise. Someday soon. . .Oh yeah, I've gotten off track. Mine Till Midnight is the first in the series about the Hathaway family. There are also some scenes with characters from the Wallflower books, and it's always nice to spend more time with Marcus, Lord Westcliff and Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. Read more

Review: Night Mischief by Nina Bruhns

Devon's review of Night Mischief (a Dark Enchantments novel) by Nina Bruhns
Paranormal Romance released by Silhouette Nocturne on 1 Oct 2007

Night Mischief is part of the Dark Enchantments miniseries, released by Silhouette Nocturne last year. I read the first one, Familiar Stranger by Michele Hauf, and quite enjoyed it. The second book was a chore to finish, and I guess that's why I let this third installment languish in the TBR milk crate. I'm glad I pulled it out, because Night Mischief was very entertaining, with a great hero and heroine, plenty of tension and a satisfying romance.
