As I heard many complimentary things said about Lauren Dane’s book Undercover, I was quite excited to read Relentless. I was shocked to find that not only is the writing quite shabby, but the characters are undeveloped, and the love scenes are flat-out boring. Why must erotica so often preclude romance? Since the first settlers…
Robin Schone is an author I’ve been avoiding for a while. I don’t fancy myself masochistic, which is what I’ve ended up feeling like after reading some of her recent books. Fortunately, Cry for Passion is actually pretty good. Granted, it is deeply depressing and didn’t leave me in a particularly happy mood, but the…
Running Wild ranks as the weirdest erotic romance I have ever read. I can only describe it as Swan Lake meets The Dread Pirate Roberts meets Romeo and Juliet meets Aladdin meets an I’ve-eaten-a-funky-mushroom dream sequence. It also reads a little bit like a high school health class, with ovulation and impregnation scattered all over…
When I think about it, the title of Alison Kent’s new book is surprisingly accurate, on several levels. Maximum Exposure may be short and catchy, but it also has relevance to the plot. Unfortunately, the book itself wasn’t nearly as good as the title. Olivia Hammond is not just the owner of a clothing shop….
I’m generally not a huge fan of erotic romance, but Wicked Burn is a page turner with smokin’ hot love scenes and an interesting plot revolving around two wounded characters. However, I must state for the record that I do not believe incredible sex heals all wounds. Niall Chandler is divorcing her husband as a…
I usually enjoy a good football or sports romance and, though this one started out strong, by the end I got bored wading through all the sex. Needless to say, I wanted just a little more substance with all that other stuff. Melissa McKnight is her father’s daughter who wants to be a sports agent…
Woven Dreams is third in a series of erotic fantasy romances set in a world resembling Medieval Earth. In each of the first two books, Christina’s Tapestry and Bakra Bride, a modern American woman buys an ancient tapestry depicting a castle and two knights that draws her into sexual dreams with the two men, only…
Last month my husband read my review of a book that I graded D-; his question to me was, “What does it take to actually get an F from you?” I tried to explain to him that as bad as it was, I’ve actually read worse. As I finished Wildwood, I turned to him and…
The erotic romance The Pleasure of His Bed did not arouse, titillate, or otherwise excite. It took me a week to read two of the three short stories, mostly because I couldn’t tolerate more than a few pages at a time. My eyes rolled so often while enduring most of this book that I feared…
A reserved woman’s sexual liberation is hardly new ground when it comes to erotic romance. Sometimes the story works, sometimes it doesn’t. Show and Tell works for the most part, though there was a bit lost in the story of Trinity Green’s conversion. All her life Trinity has counted calories, made sure her lipstick stayed…
