When I picked up Be Careful What You Witch For I’m not sure what I was expecting. It’s a contemporary young adult novel about the fourteen-year-old daughter of one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood, and her attempt at going to a “normal” high school while staying with her aunt. Her aunt, she finds…
Did you have a teenage crush? Especially on an older man? It’s the kind of thing that’s a bit embarrassing to look back on, but is a rite of passage for many. In Kill or be Kilt, the third book in Victoria Roberts’ Highland Spies series, we finally get to see what comes out of…
When I saw Best of My Love appear as a possibility to review I remembered liking some of the author’s earlier books and took a chance: not my best decision. It wasn’t awful, but seemed like a series of vignettes featuring the hero and heroine, and eventually had too much of a small town filled…
Narrated by Kate Reading It’s been a great pleasure to have almost all of Loretta Chase’s backlist produced in audio, and with the fabulous Kate Reading performing to boot! This month, we get to revel in two books from the Fallen Women series – Your Scandalous Ways and Don’t Tempt Me. Francesca Bonnard is a…
This short novel/novella is the second in Victoria Dahl’s Bartered Hearts series. I have not read the previous one, so this can be read as a standalone. I am an absolute sucker for a well written romance set in the American West, so I was thrilled to see an author I associate with contemporary romances…
Set in and around New York, this novel is the first in the Klub Kids series which follows a group of young, gay men who exist in and around the club scene. The book works for me because the characters are all quirky, interesting, vulnerable and just so easy to love. This biographical world of…
I first heard of R.L. Smith when I read The Last Hour of Gann, one of the finest science fiction romance books I have ever read. It was difficult to read Cottonwood without similar expectations, but that would be doing the book an injustice. Twenty years ago, an alien spaceship came to Earth, only to…
Ah, the age old family feud! It’s such a great way to add drama to a romance, just look at Romeo and Juliet, or Pyramus and Thisbe. You Can’t Always Get the Marquess You Want takes the enemies-to-lovers trope to a new level. Unfortunately, while the “lovers” part was great, the “enemies” plot didn’t really…
I love Linda Howard novels. I also hate them. The author has produced a mixed bag of books for me, some of them being favored DIK’s and others teetering in that no man’s land of low C or high D. When I heard she had a new novel coming out I was both eager and…
It’s official. I’ve stumbled into the latest thriller trend – unreliable narrators. In fact, I just about fell into The Ice Twins, even though I wasn’t crazy about the premise at first. A twin dies in a tragic fall, and only later does her mother realize she may have buried the wrong sibling. Haven’t we…
