Susan Krinard has again superbly demonstrated why she is one of my favorite authors. She has written a remarkable and complex universe, and a great romance too! This book absorbed and captivated me and I read most of it in one sitting. In Krinard’s universe, mankind populated distant planets (the Nine Worlds and Concordant planets…
This book was featured in Pandora’s Box for February 2004 Irresistible Forces is an anthology of SF/Fantasy romances from six authors. I am reading this as a bit of a newbie since I have not read any book by three of the authors and only one by another. Based on these stories, it looks like…

The Star Princess is an excellent romance, the relationship between the hero and heroine a delightful sparring match similar to that of Gable and Colbert’s in the movie It Happened One Night.

Time-travel romances often take their characters into the past or bring them to the present, but the future seldom seems to be the destination of choice.

Her second, Sacrament, involved a vampire during the Regency. Now she tackles artificial intelligence in the near future. Victoria “Vic” Barnhardt works for Visimorph, a Microsoft-like corporation, run by…
I’ve always loved Suzanne Brockmann’s books. Impressed by her Navy SEAL heroes, I went on a glomming rash of her lesser known Loveswept titles. Because it garnered positive reviews elsewhere, Time Enough for Love made it to the top of my TBR pile in no time at all. Now that I’ve read it, my verdict…

I’ve found a number of excellent authors in the past couple of years including Sharon Shinn, Connie Willis, Charlaine Harris, and Kelley Armstrong. With her wonderful…
