Big Bad Wolf is a deliciously sexy take on Little Red Riding Hood that held up pretty well for me.
There’s a mansion overlooking the Maine woods and its owner, Wolf Trevelyan, is pretty much the local bogeyman. Rumor has it he killed his first wife on their wedding night, and he’s stayed s ...

review originally published on February 22, 2001
I was a little doubtful when I picked up Into the Woods, because it’s based on the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel.” Have you read it lately? “Hansel and Gretel” is about two children who are abandoned like an unwanted lit ...

I should start right out by saying if you’re looking for a steamy story, this may not be for you. I am very glad to say that 22 Nights is not, as the title and cover suggest, a treatise on 22 very long nights of kinky, purple prose sex.

I've been following with some amusement the dismay online that Linda Howard lowered herself to collaborate with two friends and fellow authors on the Raintree trilogy. I mean, how dare Linda Winstead Jones and Beverly Barton have the audacity to think they have any right to create a series with a f ...

It doesn't have the uniformity and solid storyline progression from one book to another that the best of these series, or ones written by a single author, do.

Author Linda Jones has written a series of books based on well-known fables, the latest of which is DeButy & the Beast. Now, you'd think that DeButy would be the heroine and The Beast, her eventual true love. But the author has put a fresh and funny twist on this theme, for Dr. Julian DeButy is ...
Based upon the fairy tale "Rapunzel," Let Down Your Hair took what could have been a charming fairy tale retelling and absolutely ruined it. I'm lucky to have any hair left to let down after pulling out most of mine while I struggled to finish this story for review. Rachel Sommervi ...
