OVERVIEW: King of Sword and Sky

Tuesday, October 26, 2010 14:00 5 Comments

Sometimes it amazes me the villains authors are able to write. I laugh and ask where they get their inspiration, how deep they have to dig. I mean, sometimes it’s spooky how evil these characters can be. The High Mage of Eld is one of those villains. He’s taken centuries to hatch his plans, to [...]

LynneC’s review of Di Cesare’s Pregnant Mistress by Chantelle Shaw Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 1 Sep 08 Let’s get the title out of the way – it’s dreadful, and it’s also a spoiler, since the heroine doesn’t get preggers until later in the book. However, it’s hardly a surprise. This is a Harlequin Presents, [...]

REVIEW: The Price of Desire by Jo Goodman

Gwen’s review of The Price of Desire by Jo Goodman Historical romance released by Zebra 1 Sep 08 Some books are just so damn good, you truly want them to never end.  I put this book down and sighed.  It delivers on so many fronts, it’s difficult to summarize them all.

Lawson’s review of Secrets of the Knight (Bladesmen, Book 3) by Julia Latham Historical romance released by Avon 26 Aug 08 As I think a few readers are bemoaning (maybe), there aren’t a lot of different settings in historicals.

Gwen’s review of Faefever (Fever, Book 3) by Karen Marie Moning Urban Fantasy hardcover released by Delacorte Press 16 Sep 08 When I first started reading it, I thought this series was kind of YA.  I mean, the heroine rarely cussed (“petunia” is “ass” in her personal vocabulary), there was no sexxoring, and it was [...]

Sandy M’s review of Prey by Melina Morel Contemporary Paranormal Romance released by Signet 2 Sep 08 Well, this doesn’t happen to me very often.  A book that starts out fine, sounds and feels like it’s going to be good.  A book that starts to fall apart in Chapter 2.  A book that I just [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Accustomed to His Fangs by December Quinn Contemporary paranormal erotic romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 1 Sep 08 The one sub-genre of romance that I tend not to read often is comedy.
