Narrated by Liv Anderson Meet Kara Gillian. She’s a cop in a small, Louisiana town and she’s also a summoner of demons. An odd combination, to be sure, but when a serial killer with knowledge of the arcane resurfaces after a three year absence, Kara is the only woman for the job, even if she’s…
James’ Blacktop Cowboy series centers on the rodeo competitors who travel around the country with their horses and gear, searching for another win and ultimately a championship belt buckle or trophy. Her latest follows injured barrel racer Tanna Barker who’s come out of her accident afraid to get on a horse, a disaster for a…
I seem to have read a number of books over the last year in which the hero has been a man who is paid for sexual services, either as a way of making his living, or for some other reason, such as getting the heroine pregnant, as in Cecilia Grant’s A Lady Awakened. In Secrets…
Narrated by Susan Ericksen Susan Ericksen is a very talented narrator and a huge favourite with many, but I’ve not always been completely convinced by her performances. I admit, my experience has been limited to her narrations of historical romances set in Britain (such as Celeste Bradley’s Fallen, Cecilia Grant’s Blackshear Family novels and Anne…
Have you ever been scared to start a sequel? Sometimes the first book in a series just works so well, with all the pieces fitting together, that it’s hard to think of topping it – sometimes it seems hard to even match it! I recently read Assassin’s Gambit, the first of the Hearts and Thrones…
Sometimes the hardest books to review are the ones that are neither all that good or all that bad. That was how Hope Flames was for me. It is difficult to describe my feelings for this read because, although it was an easy read, it wasn’t particularly compelling or exciting. Burton has moved away from…
Narrated by Anne Flosnik There are voices that remain with you all your life, voices that speak to you of comfort and of warmth. Narrator Anne Flosnik is one of those voices for me. I became familiar with her narrations when she worked for the Library of Congress. I sought out many books simply because…
Narrated by Tatiana Sokolov I enjoyed Rocky Mountain Haven even more than the previous (and first) book in the series, Rocky Mountain Heat. Daniel, I suppose, could be termed a beta hero but really, he’s just a normal guy. He’s sexy and gorgeous of course, but he’s neither a doormat nor an alpha-hole. I met Daniel…
Narrated by Derek Perkins Knight of Desire is a medieval romance set in a period that I haven’t come across very often in historical romance – the time immediately following the usurpation of the English throne by Henry Bolingbroke (Henry IV). This story of a young woman who is forced into marriage not once, but twice,…
As with many books I read, Take Me Home is something of a mixed bag. On the one hand, I liked the characters and the setting. However, the Big Secret in this story took way too long to get uncovered and as the book went on, my annoyance with the hero’s secret keeping interfered with…
