Assassin’s Gambit takes on a significant challenge: Telling a personal, intimate romance and a sweeping political tale in just one 400-page book. Even if it doesn’t completely succeed, it’s still an enjoyable book which I recommend as both romance and fantasy. Vitala Salonius was excluded as a child because her biological father belonged to the…
Sometimes a short novella can help you to scratch just the right itch when you are looking for something to read. That was my hope with Dark Secrets by Shona Husk, and in some ways, it succeeded. However, it was not without its flaws. Haidyn Mast has the magic talent of being able to control…
Beginning with one of the funniest opening sequences I’ve read, and continuing through the end, this tale of an apprentice tooth fairy gave me many laughs. Better yet, it features an endearing heroine, an interesting hero, and an intriguing world. Billed as the first of the author’s Nether-Netherland series, I hope that there are more…
Every now and then there comes a book that is really hard to review. For me, this time around, I’ve found that book. While there are a lot of positives about Froggy Style, in the end, it just gets way too tiresome. Jean-Michel La Grenouille is the Frog Prince. As a child, he was cursed…
There is a difference between a series and a trilogy. Series books can each stand alone. In this instance, I would say that the Warriors of the Mist is a trilogy and they are best enjoyed together. Though I recommend this book, I do it with the advice that it is read after the first…
I don’t always believe lists, especially lists of the best books of the year, which sometimes leave me wondering “What were they thinking?” However, after reading Publishers Weekly’s list of best romances of 2012, I was intrigued by Dog Days. I downloaded and read the first chapter, and thought oh, another over-hyped book and decided…
Narrated by Sophie Eastlake I must admit when I first heard that Lord’s Fall featured, once again, Pia and Dragos as the main characters, I was kind of worried. Partly my concern was the tension – could it be maintained in a story where the pair already had an HEA? But mostly, it was because…
A sexually-repressed, whiny twenty-six-year-old loan officer who keeps a journal of erotic sex wishes is adopted by a half angel/half human cowboy whose goal is to show her how erotically appealing she is. Sounds like the beginning of a joke someone would tell in a bar when half sloshed, right? But that’s the premise of…
By page twenty, I knew Courting Carolina was going to be a long book. During that time the hero gains and loses then gains an accent with “ye,” and “lass,” decides the heroine’s bottom looks like a perfectly upside down heart – you know a heart does have a pointy end – and rather than…
Sometimes it’s difficult to quit a series, especially when you have read all of the books, plus there is just something so endearing about talking telepathic animals. Even so, the last few books in this series have been fairly ordinary reads for me and I found it easy to put this book down. I also…
