Take Me Two Times

Take Me Two Times is the second installment in Karen Kendall’s ARTemis series, about a group of art repossession agents. It was enjoyable enough to make me want to read the first book, but the problems I encountered left me unable to heartily recommend it. Gwen Davies is a former interior designer who’s just starting…

Silver Falls

When I think dark, angsty heroes, Anne Stuart’s name comes to mind first. She’s created some of the darkest alpha heroes I’ve ever come across and, while I probably wouldn’t like some of them in real life, I lap them up in fiction. In Silver Falls, she tells a very eerie tale about a serial…

Defender by Catherine Mann

I’m always eager to read romances in unusual settings, so Catherine Mann’s latest military romance, Defender, set entirely in Turkey, appealed to me. While I found most of the characters interesting, there are too many separate threads to give it a hearty recommendation. Captain Jimmy Gage is a pilot for a dark ops squadron in…

Maverick

Sex alone does not make for a solid romance and, unfortunately, good sexual tension will only take you so far. Bad sexual tension takes me nowhere whatsoever. Maverick features a couple who have great sex, but there is no possible way I can picture a happily ever after for them, something I find necessary in…

The Spy Who Wants Me

The Spy Who Wants Me is the third release in The Goddard Project series featuring covert operatives for a secret government agency. I didn’t read book two, but I remember the first book, Satisfaction Guaranteed, being a much more enjoyable read than this latest installment. Elle Gray is a covert agent for black ops group…

Suspect Lover

When I read the cover blurb for Suspect Lover, it sounded like a fascinating premise. Heroine marries hero after a whirlwind courtship. Things look idyllic – until hero’s business partner dies and hero is the key suspect. The question then becomes, how well did our heroine know her husband anyway? Unfortunately, after a few chapters…

Dangerous Prey

In December, I caught a rare glimpse of a falcon in my neighborhood. The bird was perched on rooftop of a building just across the street from the parking garage. As the rooftop and the level on which I was parked were the same, I got a really good look at one of these magnificent…

Kill For Me by Karen Rose

Kill For Me by Karen Rose

I enjoy romantic suspense, though I find my tastes generally run more to psychological suspense, gothics, and the occasional police procedural. While I read serial killer books or those with e-e-e-v-i-l big plots hatched by villains who almost seem superhuman, they often leave me cold. However, as I read Kill for Me, I realized what…

Shattered

Shattered is another in JoAnn Ross’s High Risk series featuring members of the Navy SEALS and Special Forces. It features great characters and a hero and heroine with some of the best chemistry since Brad and Angelina, but the story has some pacing problems. Shane Garrett really wanted to be a Blue Angel, but a…
