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 my [...]

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 [...]

It’s fun and lighthearted, full of romance, all the while throwing [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Pitch Black by Susan Crandall Romantic suspense novel released by Forever 1 Jun 08 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 [...]

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 person, [...]

Shannon C.’s review of The Ballad of Jimothy Redwing by Maia Strong Fantasy gay erotic romance ebook released by Samhain Publishing 10 Jun 08 There are two things that are guaranteed to make me swoon with delight. One is fantasy. The other is a musician hero. This story features both, which made me exceedingly happy. [...]

Shannon C.’s review of The Cat: Sons of Destiny, Book 5 by Jean Johnson Fantasy/paranormal romance released by Berkley 3 Jun 08 As I’ve stated numerous times, I love the Sons of Destiny books. The family dynamic is a lot of fun, the world building just keeps getting better and better, and there’s always a [...]

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 [...]

Shannon C.’s review of The Wild Road (Dirk & Steele, Book 8 ) by Marjorie M. Liu 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 [...]

Devon’s review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle Historical Romance released by Pocket 22 Jul 08 Liz Carlyle can always be counted upon to deliver.

Devon’s review of Compromised by Nathalie Gray Futuristic erotic romance eBook released by Red Sage 1 May 08 When will I ever learn to pay more attention to detail? I enjoy a good futuristic/Sci-Fi romance now and then, and Nathalie Gray’s books looked like they would fit the bill. I was intrigued by the descriptions [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Damned, Delicious and Dangerous by Delilah Devlin, Lisa Renee Jones, and Megan Kerans Paranormal erotic romance anthology released by Aphrodisia 1 Jun 08 Ahh, paranormal erotic romance. It can be the cheesiest thing ever, or it can be a place to escape into a dark, sensual world for a few hours. [...]

Devon’s review of His Wicked Sins by Eve Silver Historical Romance released by Zebra 5 Aug 08 Like many a reader (I suspect), I found my way to romance through Gothics. Not the old school nineteenth century ones (though I’ve read many of those too), but books by authors like Barbara Michaels, Mary Stewart, Victoria [...]

Gwen’s review of Hotter Than Hell (Hell On Earth, Book 3) by Jackie Kessler Paranormal fiction/urban fantasy released by Kensington 29 Jul 08 This book is compellingly grim and I really didn’t want to like it. I’m very conflicted about the world it embodies. Technically, the writing is very proficient. Thematically, the book hits on [...]

Sandy M’s review of Immortals: The Gathering (Immortals, Book 4) by Jennifer Ashley Contemporary paranormal romance released by Love Spell 28 Aug 07 I kept my hopes up that this book would bring the series together and be a satisfying pseudo ending for the first four books. I’m happy to say that my hopes were [...]
