Narrated by Patrick Lawlor Blurb for Dark Legend from Fantastic Fiction: For two thousand years Carpathian twins Gabriel and Lucian were vampire hunters. But then, Lucian turned vampire, forcing Gabriel to hunt him. Lucian and Gabriel battled each other for centuries until two hundred years ago, when Gabriel sacrificed his freedom, trapping Lucian and himself in…
Narrated by Sean Crisden It’s been years since I read Dark Challenge. I remember glomming on all the Dark books, starting with Dark Prince. I think I read about ten in a row. My reading taste has changed a bit since then and the book is somewhat dated now anyway, having originally been published way…
If you like action movies, you might like Take Over at Midnight. This book reads a lot like an action screenplay converted into novel form. Plenty of tension-filled flight scenes, interesting team dynamics, larger than life characters, and so on. This romance is a little light on the actual romance and some of the cliches…
Narrated by James Clamp I have very mixed feelings about this audiobook. I admit that I found the first hour or so to be rather hard going, but knowing I would be writing a review, I persevered which, had I been listening simply for my own enjoyment, I may not have done. In a way,…
This traditional Regency from first-time author Claudia Harbaugh shows a lot of promise. Her writing style is restrained and displays an elegance reminiscent of Heyer, although sadly without so much of the wit and sharply observed social comment. The story concerns Isobel Kenilworth, Duchess of Wawrick, who discovers at the reading of her late husband’s…
It’s time to crank your speakers up to 11. We’re going on tour with one of my favorite fictional rock bands, The Sinners. After the events of the previous Sinners on Tour books, the band is minus their soundboard operator Dave, currently recovering from an accident. This presents an obstacle to resuming their tour schedule…
In order for tall tales and fairytales to be entertaining, they have to have one foot planted in the reality of their audience. Gregg’s story of the best man and the father of the bride getting together at a good friend’s nuptials rang as a farfetched urban legend rather than a happily ever after fairytale…
In Love With a Wicked Man is the latest from prolific romance writer Liz Carlyle and her writing experience shows in this book. There are a few minor criticisms that keep this book from DIK status, but overall it was a very enjoyable read. Ned Quartermaine is the illegitimate son of an aristocratic lady. His…
Is there anything like the delight of an unexpected DIK read? I think not. I picked this book up not sure what I was getting and am delighted to report that it kept a smile on my face the whole way through. Not everything in the small Texas suburb of Red Deer, Texas is as…
I don’t mind admitting that when I saw the cover of this book, my heart sank. It looked just like so many of those other “highlander romances” out there (you know the sort of thing – bare-chested men in kilts!) that made me think I was in for one of those battle-filled, warring-clans, boy-meets-girl-from-wrong-family type…
