Narrated by Renee Raudman White Hot simply blew me away! I haven’t listened to such a captivating, unique fantasy world with such a heat-filled and sexual tension driven romance in such a long time (in fact, Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series comes to mind)! This title will definitely be one of my top-favorite listens of…
Despite having recently inhaled the first two books in Thea Harrison’s new Moonshadow series, I think it’s necessary to preface this review with a few confessions/disclaimers: I truly don’t read a lot of PNR/fantasy, I’m only vaguely familiar with elves and Fae (who knew there was more than one kind and are they different?), and…
Pine Harbour, Ontario is the fictional setting for a small town contemporary romance series by indie author Zoe York. Some romances in this kind of setting veer into stereotypical territory – think gossipy neighbors, the coffee crowd at the local diner, high school sweethearts, etc.. This author has set her series apart by featuring tried…
Narrated by Amy McFadden & Sebastian York I am a sucker for a rescue trope. Damsels in distress aren’t all that popular these days but I have a soft spot for them I admit. Nevertheless, my feminist side usually wants the heroine to do a bit of rescuing herself to balance things out. It’s not…
In Monster In the Closet, Karen Rose returns to her best-selling Baltimore series with a twisty tale of love and murder. Since I haven’t read a Karen Rose novel I didn’t love, I was super excited to dive into this one, and I’m pleased to let you know she’s written another winner. If you’ve read…
Caroline Linden’s A Rake’s Guide to Seduction is one of her earliest published titles, having originally appeared in 2008. It’s now being reissued with a rather fetching new cover (in paperback), and as it’s a book I haven’t yet read, this gave me a good excuse reason to add it to my pile of review…
Back when I was in high school and college, I loved Silhouette’s Shadows line and Break the Night by Anne Stuart was a particular favorite of mine. I recently reread the book to see how it holds up. The suspense is still compelling and I still enjoyed the story, though there were some issues with…
The Dazzling Heights is the sequel to Katharine McGee’s spell-binding The Thousandth Floor. It’s a young adult dystopian novel set in a futuristic New York City completely different from anything I’ve ever imagined. McGee’s NYC is encased in an enormous tower with a thousand stories, and the higher the floor, the richer the residents. One…
What Hope Remembers is the final book in Johnnie Alexander’s Misty Willow trilogy that takes place in a small fictional town only a short commute from Columbus, Ohio. The focus of the story is Amy Somers, related to both AJ and Brett whose romances played out in the previous books. I had not read the…
I’ve read a few books by Susanna Ives over the past couple of years and have come to the conclusion that she is at her best when she’s doing something a little different to the norm in historical romance. Her début novel, Rakes and Radishes turned the reformed rake trope on its head, and Wicked…
