  • Bound By Night by Larissa Ione

    Vampire romances have become passé in recent years, falling out of favor for new and shiny creatures such as demons, angels, werewolves, and the like. Post-Twilight the sub-genre has become rife for mockery and parody and, given some of what has been published, for good reason. I’m pleased to say we finally have a fresh…

  • Death and the Girl He Loves

    The apocalypse is upon us and the world’s only hope is sixteen-year-old Lorelei McAlister. Can a sweet teenager from Arizona stop the doom that awaits us? The conclusion to the Darklight answers this question and the ending may surprise you. Due to events in prior books, Lorelei has changed her name and relocated to a…

  • Do or Die by Suzanne Brockmann

    Narrated by Melanie Ewbank and Patrick Lawlor Do or Die is the beginning of a new Brockmann suspense/action series – Reluctant Heroes – that piggy-backs (roughly) onto the Troubleshooter Series.

This one features a crime that took place in the past, and gives some insight into some favorite characters’ pasts as well. Roarke Industries has…

  • Once a SEAL

    Often romances that feature Navy SEAL heroes tend to be a bit over the top. If you are willing to suspend disbelief, these books can be a lot of fun, filled with action and danger and steamy romance. Once a SEAL is…not that book. Rather, it provides a window into what I can only imagine…

  • Sex & Sourdough

    Hiking the Appalachian Trail seems like a great idea when Anders’ boyfriend comes up with the idea, but when his boyfriend flakes on him, Anders starts to see the journey as a time to prove himself and get rid of his manipulative lover. Thomas makes heavy duty hiking seem appealing even to a couch potato…

  • Tangled by Emma Chase

    Narrated by Sebastian York Tangled won Emma Chase Best Debut Goodreads Author in 2013. Indeed, her voice – channeled via hero Drew Evans’ POV – is refreshing, snarky, a pure fun winner. Devilishly handsome Drew Evans is himself a winner. A multimillionaire workaholic shark who loves the game, he’s become the star investment banker in…
