Devon’s review of Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly
Contemporary Erotic Romance released by 1 Jun 08

Slow Hands first caught my eye because it shares a title with my favorite song of the past five years or so. The blurb grabbed my attention as well, although it featured one of the hoariest setups in TV movies and [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Fire Princes’ Bride by Rebecca Airies
Fantasy erotic romance released by Ellora’s Cave 25 Jun 08
Fire Princes’ Bride had a blurb that compelled me, and was a bit of an experiment on my part. It’s obviously part of a series, and I know that I need to get over [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Warrior (Time Hunters, Book 1) by Angela Knight
Sci-Fi romance released by Berkley 1 Jul 08
Angela Knight is one of those authors everyone recommends when suggesting erotic romance authors, but I’ve never read any of her books. And even though I made fun of the blurb when it came up for [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Pitch Black by Susan Crandall

I really like books about troubled kids and the adults that help them. I know a lot of readers are actively repelled by that sort of thing, but I’m not one of them. Stories about mothers, social workers, [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Whispers in the Dark by Kira Sinclair
Contemporary erotic romance released by Harlequin Blaze 1 Aug 08
This is one of those books that suffered from the “It’s not you, it’s me” syndrome. I liked the story well enough, and it features a heroine who felt like a genuinely real [...]

Shannon C.’s review of The Billionaire Boss’s Secretary Bride by Helen Brooks
