An All Night Man
An All Night Man is a sensual anthology about some very sexy men and the women in their lives. On entry is recommended with qualifications, another is just plain recommended, and one will knock your socks off.
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down is a romantica anthology about people living out their fantasies with the man or woman of their dreams. While one of these fantasies hit the spot, a favorite author for me failed to deliver.
White Tigress by Jade Lee
Forgive me if this review seems pulled in two directions; that’s the way White Tigress by Jade Lee made me feel. It kind of gave me the creeps, and I wasn’t too sure about the happily-ever-after. However, it definitely has some moments of brilliance. There’s only one thing I can say for sure: if you…
Strange Attractions by Emma Holly
When it comes to sensuality, Strange Attractions is beyond burning. Unfortunately it’s also beyond boring. At one point, I realized that I was almost halfway thorough it and literally nothing had happened. Luckily, at about that point, there’s a passage in which B.G. explains particle physics to the heroine and I read it gratefully as…
Private Pleasures by Bertrice Small
Private Pleasures, Bertrice Small’s latest offering, is billed as “her first contemporary novel – and her sexiest tale yet!” That’s not quite how I’d describe it…it’s mostly shoddy porn. The book consists of crude sex scenes interspersed by Small’s occasional attempt to remember an actual plot besides the frequent boinking, shagging and lusting. Honestly, I…
Secrets: Volume 10
In my experience many romantica novels are filled with little romance and lots of cheesy, kinky situations. Though some of the short stories in this latest Secrets volume featured interesting concepts and plotlines, there was a lack of romance and the stories’ characters, as with many anthologies (romantica and otherwise), were rather underdeveloped.
Once a Gentleman by Candice Hern
Once A Gentleman is third in a series of historical romances written by Candice Hern and set in England in the early 1800s. The focus of this installment is Nic (brother of Edwina from Once A Scoundrel) and his relationship with coworker, Pru. There is no edge-of-your-seat suspense, and we do have to wait a…
Bad Boys Next Exit
The stories in Bad Boys Next Exit are short on plot and all about fantasy sex between virtual strangers. Authors Shannon McKenna, Donna Kaufmann and E.C. Sheedy pull off their romances with varying degrees of success.
Personal Assets by Emma Holly
If you’re not familiar with Emma Holly’s name, you should be aware that her books are a bit different from other romance novels. Before moving into the historical romance arena, she wrote straight erotica for Black Lace, among other publishers. Classifying this book is difficult as it is more sexually explicit than just about anything…
Taboo
The only reason this book did not receive an F is the fact that the sex scenes are hot. If that’s all you want, and nothing else, then maybe you will want to plunk down your $12 for this 181 page book. (My math indicates that’s roughly $1 for every 15+ pages – about twice…
