Contest Winners: Never Trust a Contest Duckie!
August 28, 2008
Okay, so the awarding of these books is waaaay overdue. Mea Culpa, I plead too much sun. As you may remember, about a month ago we offered up 10 copies of each book in Liz Carlyle's latest trilogy: Never Lie to a Lady, Never Deceive a Duke and Never Romance a Rake. Then it somehow got lost in the shuffle. Well, I finally got my act together, so click on the cut to see who won.

Liviania's review of Never Deceive a Duke (Neville Family Trilogy, Book Two) by Liz Carlyle
Historical romance released by Pocket Star 24 Jul 07
In Never Lie to a Lady, Gareth acted the runner-up. He loved the heroine and offered her a good marriage, but Xanthia just didn't feel for him like she did Lord Nash. Liz Carlyle guides him from being second best to the hero quite well. She starts by making him a Duke, through an inconvenient death of a man who lacked children. Of course, he didn't lack a young and beautiful wife. Carlyle endears herself to me by not making Antonia a twice-married virgin. Read more

Liviania's review of Never Lie to a Lady (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 1) by Liz Carlyle
Historical romance released by Pocket Star 19 Jun 07
Before reading the Neville Family Trilogy, I had no experience with Liz Carlyle. I recognized the name and knew Sybil was head-over-heels for the latest book, but I didn't know what to expect. The opening of Never Lie to a Lady disappointed me. Xanthia Neville meets Lord Nash on a terrace and they proceed to snog, an action both of them consider ill-considered and out of character. Xanthia thinks about how she drank a little, but neither of them had the excuse of drunkenness. A bit scared that I'd agreed to review the entire trilogy, Carlyle spent the rest of the book wowing me so much that I can happily ignore the first chapter. Read more

REVIEW: Dark Needs at Night’s Edge by Kresley Cole
June 7, 2008
Liviania's review of Dark Needs at Night’s Edge (Immortals After Dark, Book 4) by Kresley Cole
Paranormal Romance released by Pocket 1 Apr 08
I started Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark with this one, and I believe it is my favorite. This romance focuses on the youngest of the Wroth brothers, the insane Conrad, and Néomi, a dead human. Yes, it is a bit of a logistical nightmare. On the other hand, it gives the characters time to talk and develop a strong emotional relationship before they have sex.

Liviania's review of No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole
Paranormal Romance released by Pocket Star Books 31 Oct 06
The second Immortals After Dark novel focuses on the second-youngest Wroth brother, Sebastian. His village hires Kaderin the Cold Hearted to kill him, but the two quickly realize she is his Bride. After a brief amorous encounter, Kaderin leaves, unwilling to undergo the humiliation of being involved with a vampire. (She’s seen how her family treats Myst, whose husband is a vampire – and Sebastian’s older brother.) Currently she’s focused on winning the Talisman’s Hie, a contest run by the goddess Riora. After all, she’s won the past five times and must defend her title.
