Limecello’s review of Jealous Lover by Brandi Michaels
Contemporary romance released by Samhain Publishing 16 Jun 09

Limecello’s review of Burn For Me by Dee Tenorio
Contemporary romance published by Samhain Publishing on 3 Nov 2009
I’ve only read a few of Dee Tenorio’s stories, but I think she’s an author to keep an eye on. (I said the same about Jess Dee.) I’ve read Burn For Me a few times now, and [...]

LauraJ’s review of Jinxed by Inez Kelley
Contemporary Romantic Comedy released by Samhain Publishing on June 9, 2009.
I think every woman wants to find a man who is “perfect” (and it’s okay if your idea of perfect is different than mine, etc) and in this light-hearted romance I think Ms. Kelley has managed to get [...]

Sandy M’s review of Fortune’s Promise, (Fortune Series, Book 2) by Karen Erickson
Contemporary Erotic Romance published by Samhain 20 Jan 09
I’m usually not a fan of celebrity stories, either the hero or heroine is famous, they get involved with someone nonfamous, the tabloids do their thing, misunderstandings occur. While this book does follow that formula [...]

Limecello’s review of Always by Lauren Dane
Contemporary romance released by Samhain 14 Apr 09
I had been looking for a simple romantic contemporary story. I wanted to read about a guy and a girl falling in love, and only about that. No secret mafia wars, no exploding bombs, no secret family curses or vampires, werewolves, [...]

LauraJ’s review of All Tied Up (Pleasure Inn, Book 1) by Cathryn Fox
Contemporary Erotic Romance novella released by Samhain Publishing 19 May 09

Limecello’s review of Butterfly Tattoo by Deidre Knight
Contemporary romance published by Samhain Publishing on 21 Apr 2009
I heard a lot of talk about Butterfly Tattoo, all good things. Excessively good things, in fact, so I had to see for myself what the hype was all about. While I don’t think I liked it quite [...]

Erotic romance ebook released by Samhain Publishing 29 Jan 09

Shannon C’s review of Crux (Southern Arcana, Book 1) by Moira Rogers
Urban fantasy/paranormal romance released by Samhain Publishing 3 Mar 09
This is yet another of those reviews about which I cannot be objective, because if I were to be trapped on a desert island with only a cabana full of nekkid mens and one [...]
