First things first. I have to say up front that Tsunami Blue was a wickedly hard book to grade. On the one hand, the premise is unusual, the worldbuilding caught my interest, and I basically enjoyed the book. However, the book also features a few plot points that only a stronger reader than I could…
Favorite Romance Audiobook Poll Winner – First place – Favorite Paranormal Romance Audiobook 2011 Narrated by Jim Frangione Although I’m generally not a fan of vampire romance, I’ve now read (or listened to) Lover Awakened five times (a personal record). Declaring that it is a romance favorite seems to be such an understatement. I was…
Rory MacGrath hasn’t been back to Ireland since he was sent to live with his aunt in California at the tender age of twelve. He couldn’t blame his family for wanting to be rid of him; when his father inexplicably disappeared while trying to uncover the secrets to the ancient Book of Fennore, Rory responded…
I came to Lion’s Heat with some general expectations. I had read the previous books in the series and was interested in Jonas’s story, but didn’t have any particular hopes for his own mating. Nonetheless, I was rather disappointed to see how his relationship developed. It was unsatisfying, and his mate Rachel is a piece…
You know the oft-repeated sentiment that J.R. Ward’s books are like crack? I may be ready to check into rehab. This one feels overstuffed with multiple storylines, highlights the author’s problems in creating compelling women, and frequently left me with a WTF expression on my face. Needless to say, these are not good things. The…
Oh goody. Another series to glom. Josie Barrett grew up in Stone Creek, leaving only to attend veterinary school before coming back to take over her father’s vet practice. So she’s well-acquainted with the fact that 70% of the Stone Creek population isn’t human, but is composed of Others. Since the Unveiling a few years…
I like a good romance of pretty much any genre, and as I started His Darkest Hunger, I thought I was in for a good paranormal, indeed. Just in the opening chapter, we have betrayal, a damsel in distress, and, apparently, quite the secret backstory waiting to be unraveled. Unfortunately, things stalled out as the…
Inked is an anthology about the trials and tribulations of women who control (or are controlled by) magical tattoos. As far as anthologies go, this is an excellent one; all the stories were solid, and lots of fun.
This is the third product of the Mayer/Cruise collaboration, one that has been very hit or miss for the existing fans of Ms. Cruise’s early romance works. Personally, I liked but didn’t love Don’t Look Down. I gave them a second chance and adored Agnes and the Hitman. This newest book was fine but not…
What A Demon Wants is a hoot. I haven’t been so entertained in a long time, and I can definitely recommend this light, fun read. Ellina Kostova is a half demon, half human author who happens to write a successful fiction series about a cake decorator-turned demon hunter named Jenny Bell. Unfortunately, because her facts…
