I enjoyed Christine Feehan’s first story about the magical Drake sisters in the Lover Beware anthology earlier this year and looked forward to seeing more of them. I can’t say the same after reading her second story about them in The Twilight Before Christmas. It has a beautiful, atmospheric cover and opens with a nicely…
I love sinking my teeth into a great vampire book. Sizemore’s hunky vamps can visit me anytime! Domini Lancer works hard at her grandfather’s private security company. She loves her job and protects her clients very efficiently. Lately, though, her psychic abilities threaten to interfere with her work. Who is the extremely handsome man invading…
Blood and Chocolate was one of the first werewolf books I read, and it’s still one of my favorites, second only to Kelley Armstrong’s Bitten. I stumbled across it on a list of recommended young adult books. It was a 1998 American Library Association Best Book and Quick Pick for teens, which basically means that…
I’ve read any number of series that start out good, but get stale along the way. Not so with J.D. Robb’s In Death series. Not only are Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her mega-billionaire husband Roarke still one of the best couples in romance, but there are also enough good secondary characters in the books to…
Christine Feehan must face an interesting set of challenges when she sits down to write a book. On the one hand, as the author of the extremely popular Carpathian series, she is surely under a great deal of pressure to continue writing the same best-selling formula. On the other hand, she undoubtedly wants to branch…
Some people might think comparing a single title to a very good series romance isn’t much of a compliment, but in this case it is. Rebecca York is a veteran series author, primarily for the Harlequin Intrigue line, whose books I used to enjoy a lot. Her most recent series books have disappointed, though, ranging…
I love Paranormal romance, at least in concept, but actual Paranormal romances are often not very good. Picking up an anthology of nothing but vampire and SF romance is something of a risky business. But have no fear: this anthology is excellent.
Shadow Magic gets off to such a dreadful start – with its flat prose, slow pacing, and weak characters – that it initially seems doomed. But Karen Whidden concocted an interesting enough premise for her story that not even the weaknesses in the telling can completely ruin it. That only makes the book that much…
While here at AAR we all do our utmost to approach each book we review with an open mind, I must admit that based on Jude Deveraux’s last few reviews here, I didn’t have a lot of hope when I opened her newest release. Thirty-six hours later, I closed the book with a sigh. Wild…
Poseidon’s Kiss had a lot of potential – an interesting plot, original paranormal elements, and for the most part, smooth writing. Author Crease unfortunately squanders a number of opportunities and the end result is a merely average read. Chelsea Porter is a workaholic interior designer on the edge of burnout. One night at the opening…
