At one point in this book, one of the characters explains, “Salvage is everything we keep here—old things that can be used again by a different owner. Sometimes, finding out about where all these things came from, and about the people who might have first used them, is worth far more than treasure.” As far…
In the books I’ve listened to and read so far by Laura Kinsale, I’ve often loved the heroes but found the heroines rather difficult to like. I’m thinking particularly of Maddy in Flowers from the Storm and Leigh in The Prince of Midnight, both of whom are characters whose actions with respect to the hero…
This book is a slight departure from Cindy Gerard’s typical romantic suspense novels and I had a bit of a difficult time deciding how to categorize it. There are elements of suspense in the book, but it was not really a suspenseful novel. So, I just decided to go with the more inclusive and generic…
My disclaimer for this book is that it is definitely an erotic romance. Anyone interested in reading it should approach it as such and I will review it as one. That being said, as far as erotica goes, this is an excellent book. It had a fantastic balance of kink and romance that kept me…
Narrated by Jennifer O’Donnell I’ve never been certain how I feel about near-death experiences. I don’t know if there is life after death. I have no clue if we are reunited with our loved ones when we die. In The Color of Heaven, author Julianne MacLean attempts to answer these questions as she relates the…
Richardson takes on an issue that isn’t often dealt with in gay fiction – the physical abuse of one man on his partner – even though it must be as prevalent in homosexual relationships as it is in heterosexual ones. How the abused man frees himself from the tyranny of another and breaks the chains…
Full confession. I chose this book based on this unintentionally erroneous description: “Heroine is a young movie starlet, and hero is the guy who knew her back before she was famous.” When I realized about halfway through the first chapter that The Gravity Between Us is, in fact, a love story about two females, I…
Soulmates, one true love, a match made in heaven. There are so many phrases (and just as many literary tropes) for finding the perfect romantic match. In Robin Owens’ Celta series we have Heartmates – the only person in the world whose psi powers will blend with yours to create a romantic Bond (not to…
I love romantic suspense, though I have to admit to having some secret ops and serial killer fatigue. There are good authors writing both types of stories, but I’ve just read too many. The bioterrorism angle of Deadly Contact caught my eye, though, and I decided to give it a whirl. I’m glad I did…
Narrated by India Plum Once again I’m impressed by Mayberry’s ability to tell a story rich with real emotion and real-life scenarios, that also has some lightness. These aren’t suspense novels – just a slice of life, the slice in which two people discover attraction which builds to friendship and love. Audrey and Zach work…
