REVIEW: Sword of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff

Sandy M's review of Sword of the Highlands by Veronica Wolff
Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 27 May 08

While I enjoyed the characters and the time travel aspect of this book, even learning something new about Scotland's history, I didn't like the fact that the hero and heroine spent so much time apart.  I know the battles the hero faced and won for the Royalist cause at that time in history is important, but I felt bogged down, sometimes bored, with so much of it and then irritated with it because that's what kept the main characters separated.

Review: Gothic Dragon by Marie Treanor

Devon's review of Gothic Dragon by Marie Treanor
Paranormal Romance eBook released by Samhain 22 Jul 08

I'm not one for time travel romance. It seems too far-fetched. I mean, vampires and werewolves are one thing, but really! The mechanics of messing with the time space continuum, and the implications it may have for the HEA...my brain starts going into critical overdrive. However, Gothic Dragon was intriguing because it had to do with Gothic Literature (of the nineteenth century), a favorite period of mine. And I thought that a blogger with similar tastes to mine had read and positively reviewed this author. But I may have imagined that. Anyhoo, I'm glad I took a chance, because this was very entertaining, despite a couple of flaws. Read more

As a time travel fan, I did like this book, but I'm also a little disappointed in it. Therefore, I'm unsure what grade to give it. Maybe those of you who have also read it will help me out.

Review: Kiss of the Highlander (Audio Book) by Karen Marie Moning, plus a *CONTEST*

BevQB's review of Kiss of the Highlander (The Highlander Series, Book 4) by Karen Marie Moning, narrated by Phil Gigante
Paranormal historical timetravel fantasy romance Audio Book released by Brilliance Audio on 20 Jan 08

Kiss of the Highlander in audio format is the perfect mating of story and storyteller and I can’t imagine merely reading this story from a printed page ever again. Phil Gigante brings every minute of this pure escapist fantasy story to life. Audio books, in fact most Romance books, don’t get any better than this!
