As a long time lover of fairy tales I have felt for years that something is missing from the romance market: A truly great fae romance. Most romances depict the fae as evil, such as Nancy Werlin’s fantastic Impossible or Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. Others somewhat change the nature of the traditions to give…
After the first frenzied read of a fan, I knew I considered Oracle’s Moon to be a DIK. But as a review should be from a less biased perspective, I knew I had to read it a second time with a whole new mindset. Searching for flaws that a fan would overlook, instead I found…
The first entry in Kylie Griffin’s new series The Light Blade was a breath of fresh air. In the world of paranormal romances where a lot seem to follow the same pattern, this one was unique, creative, and I just couldn’t put it down. Annika is the half-breed daughter of the demon king, Savyr. In…
The story of Persephone is one of the more passionate of the Greek myths. Demeter, the original Tiger Mother, hovers over her daughter Persephone, refusing all offers of marriage. Hades, like many of the Greek male deities, is mightily in love with the beautiful young Persephone. He appeals to her father to recommend a way…
After reading several of the same type of books back to back, I welcomed the opportunity to read something different and to review Touch of Power. And it has one of my favorite plot devices, a character with the ability to heal. In addition, I had heard very positive things about this author and hadn’t…
The last Celta book by Robin Owens fell in the C range for me. Still, when the opportunity came up to review this anthology (which contains stories entirely set in the Celta world), I couldn’t pass it up. I had previously read excerpts of most of the stories on Ms. Owens’ web page, and had…
Sometimes you just want a simple romance novel. Instead of finding that here, I got a book that I couldn’t even classify properly. This book has time travel, faeries, Norse gods, shape shifters, and probably the kitchen sink if you look hard enough. The only things it doesn’t have are compelling characters or a strong…
In this last book in the second Nine Kingdoms trilogy, we get the finale of the quest of Ruith and Sarah. As a trilogy, the three books are really one book split into three parts. This one could be read on its own since the author does spend a lot of time catching the reader…
How could my attention not be captured by an entrancing eight months’ pregnant heroine with out of control hormones that cause her to cry crystals, hiccup bubbles, and lock pixies in the freezer – plus a hero conned into transporting a six foot six, 220-pound selkie to his winter retreat? With impressive situational comedy and…
In general, I hate novellas. The romance happens instantly, the plot is rushed, the story gets lost in the action. With Thea Harrison’s new eNovella, True Colors, all of this is still true. But for once, the plot is designed to fit well into space of a novella and so those things all work together…
