I’ve enjoyed Jeannie Lin’s China-set historicals so far and I was thrilled when I heard she would be writing single title as well. I went into The Lotus Palace expecting some element of suspense in the plot, but otherwise I had no idea what I would be getting into. As it turns out, it was…
There’s a problem when a book provides more evidence that a hero and heroine should not be together than evidence that they should. While I loved the heroine of All That I Need, I didn’t like the hero, and their courtship relied so heavily on chance throwing them back together that I didn’t see a…
I’m more of a warm weather than a cold weather person and if given a choice between a book set during a snowstorm or on a sunny beach I’ll pick the beach every time. Despite that, I found many things to like about this romance set during a difficult Colorado mountain winter. While this first…
A “sheik” style romance, and it’s a contemporary? I haven’t encountered that a lot, and the premise of this story certainly made me intrigued.

Writing a fictional account of an actual historical figure is a tricky business, especially when your heroine is the most famous queen ever to be beheaded – Anne Boleyn. While Katherine Longshore’s Tarnish does a decent job supposing the events of a gap in the real Anne Boleyn’s history, her inability to deviate too far…
At RWA, I heard Never Deal With Dragons described as a debut combining urban fantasy with a touch of humor. While I’ll admit to suffering from a bit of series fatigue, I do have a soft spot for unique-sounding urban fantasy and so I tried this one out of curiosity. While there was a critical…
