For those of you that adored Alice in Wonderland, this book might work. I never particularly cared for it myself because it never made sense, even within it’s own framework. By that I mean, well, everything was ridiculous and had no explanation. Which is exactly how dreams work many times, but this book didn’t even…
A warrior heroine in historical romance is one plot element that makes me look the other way when choosing my next read. That doesn’t mean I haven’t enjoyed a few of those heroines in the past but after reading Gwen Rowley’s latest featuring one very appealing fighting woman who can match, if not defeat, her…
An angel as a protagonist fascinates me, but there was such a lack of world building in Warrior Angel that the angel might just as well have been an ordinary human male. Sir Derek de Molay, a Templar Knight, died under the torture methods of the Inquisition. His spirit traveled to Purgatory, and there he…
I’ve never read a dragon book (unless you count Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and wasn’t sure what to expect from this anthology. I thought that, even if it turns out that I don’t like reading about dragons, at least I could be sure of getting good writing and storytelling, as I have…
I enjoyed the novel setting, interesting characters, and fresh twist on urban fantasy in Gena Showalter’s The Nymph King, but found the feelings a bit shallow for this underwater tale. Valerian is King of the Nymphs, and lives in a castle in Atlantis, the underwater kingdom. A leader committed to bettering the life of his…
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…
Hell’s Belles has one of the most interesting and descriptive takes on Hell I’ve ever read. Considering our heroine is a former demon, that’s appropriate, but it was somewhat difficult to relate with her particular outlook. Jezebel, yes, the one and only Jezebel, has loved her succubus life. She has sex with “deserving” men before…
Surviving Demon Island would have made a wonderful series romance. Unfortunately it is padded with so much mental lusting in the first half and so much sex in the second half that I soon grew weary. The premise of the book is interesting, but the execution is clumsy. Gina Bliss is a successful kick ass…
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….
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…
