  • Off Limits

    Off Limits has, hands-down, one of the ugliest covers I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame, because this is not the goofy comedy about creepily grinning deformed people the cover might make you think it is. It’s darker and grittier, both a romance between two great characters and an intriguing cop story, and one of the…

  • The Reluctant Rogue

    Sebastian Carr, Viscount Langley, is a wastrel and a gambler who cares for little besides himself. As The Reluctant Rogue opens, Sebastian has just been informed by his father that if he doesn’t marry a suitable young woman by his twenty-fifth birthday (a mere two months away!) he will be cut off without a shilling….

  • Too Close to the Sun

    Why, why, why? Why do so many romance writers get thisclose to getting it right in a futuristic romance before it all falls apart? So many have great ideas. They create imaginative and new worlds and intelligent and original characters to inhabit them. Then the romance starts, and everything goes to Romance 101 hell. Angel…

  • To Catch a Wolf

    To Catch a Wolf is the first of Susan Krinard’s werewolf books that I’ve had a chance to read. If it’s any indication of the rest of the series, I’ve missed out on some great books. Passionate, dramatic and very romantic, this is one terrific paranormal romance. Morgan Holt is a loner – by nature…

  • Once a Scoundrel

    I read the sequel to Candice Hern’s Once a Dreamer because of its heroine. As someone who’s always had her nose stuck in a book, I’m a sucker for a bluestocking. I’ll take a glance at just about any book featuring an intelligent, educated woman, but the ones that truly hold my attention are those…

  • Night Embrace

    Night Embrace is far from perfect. In the words of Mozart’s imperial patron in Amadeus, “Too many notes.” But given my heretofore unknown weakness for black-leather-clad himbo-warriors who are dedicated to protecting defenseless humans while dealing with the ceaseless power games and selfish whims of mythological gods, I did find a good bit to enjoy…

  • The Tiger’s Mistress

    Isn’t a shame when a less than appealing heroine gets in the way of what would otherwise have been a very good book? On the positive side Andrea DaRif is clearly a talented writer with a knack for dialogue, a gift for zesty love scenes, and the ability to create a sexy and appealing hero…
