Hot Ticket features three tales with sports stars as the heroes and one tale that’s set at a game. One story is about hockey, one about football and two about baseball (what, no NASCAR)? I used to complain about the dearth of romances featuring sports figures as heroes, but it’s getting easier to find them…
History really does come to life for three museumgoers in the time travel anthology Perfect Timing. Each of the stories finds its heroine visiting a traveling exhibit called Sex Through the Ages, only to be plunged into the past.
Veteran Ellora’s Cave author Jodi Lynn Copeland knows how to deliver red-hot sensuality, as she ably demonstrates in her new erotic romance anthology After Hours. If only the stories around those scorching sex scenes showed the same spark. Instead, each of these novellas features a standard issue romance genre premise most readers have seen many…
Bad Boys in Kilts is a catchier title than Bland Boys in Forgettable Stories, but the latter offers a better idea of what lies in store for the reader. In Donna Kauffman’s anthology, three Scottish brothers find love in the tiny village of Glenbuie. All I found was indifference to these competent, but uninspiring tales,…
Bump in the Night features four short stories – one historical, two contemporary, and one futuristic, all of which feature some sort of paranormal element. I was drawn in by the J.D. Robb story, but that actually wasn’t my favorite of the bunch; I liked the historical. The other two were bad to middling.
Wild Ride is billed on the cover as an erotic anthology. Since all the stories are warm at best, readers who prefer their stories smoking hot will be disappointed, and as for the Wild Ride of the title, it refers to the resort where the stories take place, a resort supposed to be an adults…
Bad Boys Ahoy! is pretty much what you should expect from the long running Brava series. It is fun, fast and full of the other f-word I don’t think the filters will let me use. In fact this might be a little more sex than the typical Bad Boy reader is used to, but Sylvia…
Well, this is what an anthology is supposed to be! It’s been a while since I’ve checked into one of the seemingly endless supply of Bad Boy collections and, based on this one, that may have been a mistake. With each story centered around the theme of . . . well, Bayou Bad Boys, and…
The Queen in Winter is a collection of four fantasy romance novellas, two by romance authors, two by fantasy authors. The romance authors may get top billing, but it’s the fantasy authors who serve up the better stories.
Do women really compare Valentine’s Day trophies at their workplaces, gloating when they receive roses, diamonds, or chocolate, and sinking into depression and humiliation if they don’t have an attentive boyfriend or husband? I’ve never seen this (perhaps I just haven’t worked at the right places), but I can vouch for the general cluelessness of…
