Warlord by Elizabeth Vaughan

Warning: Warlord is the third book in a trilogy, and it must be read as such. If you haven’t read the first two books, you could probably follow the story well enough, but the emotional impact, climax, and conclusion will be seriously lacking. Luckily, Warprize and Warsworn are both fantastic reads, so if you haven’t…

The Invisible Rose

I actually had to look up the genre for this novella because it has a kind of Medieval feel to it, though the characters pop out occasionally with a non-period appropriate “Great!” As a Fantasy, however, all expressions are valid. The genre label also takes into account the defining plot detail of The Invisible Rose….

Star of the Morning

Lynn Kurland is one my favorite romance authors because of her great comic timing and natural writing. Star of the Morning kicks off her new trilogy in the fantasy medieval realm that she previously created for the novellas in the anthologies, To Weave a Web of Magic and The Queen In Winter. Her ending on…

Eyes of Crow

Jeri Smith-Ready’s first novel for the Luna imprint, Eyes of Crow, is an accessible read about a young woman dealing with her powers about knowing when Death comes to a person’s door. That said, the plot isn’t altogether exciting, and the heroine can best be described as somewhat dull. Rhia possesses the powers of the…

Lord of the Beasts

Rarely have I disliked a heroine as much as Cordelia Hardcastle. Had this not been a review book, I would never have finished it, which I find depressing because Susan Krinard used to be one of my favorite authors. Sadly, I haven’t enjoyed many of her recent books for one reason or another, but none…

The Dream Thief by Shana Abe

It’s a given, for me, that any book Shana Abe creates will be a beautifully written, lyrical story that captures all your senses. She could probably turn my grocery list into some type of poetry. But is that enough? No. If there isn’t enough plot and character dimension, all the lush descriptions would fall to…

Darkfever

My first romance novel was Karen Marie Moning’s Beyond the Highland Mist. I stumbled on it by accident and soaked it up. Maybe not the best choice for a first-timer, but it hooked me and here I am today, addicted to the romantic written word. I will always be grateful to Ms. Moning for this….

Heart Quest

I’m always surprised when an author can work so totally for me in one book or series and completely leave me behind when it comes to another. When the Heartmates series began, Ms. Owens was publishing with a small press but I sought the books out because they sounded like something I’d enjoy. Not so…
