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 [...]

Firefighters and reunited lovers…Sounds good to me! Jill Shalvis’ Flashback was released this month. Read on for an excerpt and a chance to win (yes, WIN) a copy. And don’t forget to visit Jill’s blog. It’s very funny.

Shannon C.’s review of Fire Princes’ Bride by Rebecca Airies
Fantasy erotic romance released by Ellora’s Cave 25 Jun 08

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

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 [...]

Fantasy gay erotic romance ebook released by Samhain Publishing 10 Jun 08

Shannon C.’s review of The Cat: Sons of Destiny, Book 5 by Jean Johnson

Shannon C.’s review of The Billionaire Boss’s Secretary Bride by Helen Brooks
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jul 08 
I have to admit, until recently, I’d never read a Harlequin Presents. I also admit to being turned off by the cheesy titles and the descriptions that made me sit and think, ‘Oh, there [...]

Paranormal romance released by Leisure 29 Jul 08
I’ve jumped on certain romance bandwagons late, so it was only last year that I discovered the absolutely fantastic Dirk & Steele series by Marjorie M. Liu. What really impresses [...]
