Take Me has all the ingredients in place for an enjoyable erotic novel featuring a plus sized heroine. Lily Ellis is beautiful and realistic as well. She's a size 16 with cellulite. Travis Carson is rich, handsome, has a great body, and would win multiple gold medals in a sex Olympics. During ...
Set a large chunk of time aside if you are planning to read A Breath of Snow and Ashes. Make that several large chunks of time, unless you are blessed with the ability to read at super speed, and have a cast iron behind. This book is 979 pages of small print and narrow margins.All right, so it's ...
This book was featured in Pandora's Box for December 2005 It’s October and that means it’s time for the latest Signet Regency Christmas anthology, which is the only anthology that is an automatic buy for me. Even though the temperature was 90 degrees outside, as soon as I began to read, I was ...
Stephanie Bond's book In Deep Voodoo has an interesting plot and a wonderful cast of quirky characters. If only the hero and heroine had a spark of chemistry, it would have been an excellent read. But still, a pretty good read is nothing to sneer at. Penny Francisco and Deke Black were college sw ...

Readers who are getting tired of the ubiquitous history lite Regency-set historical romance will want to read Deeanne Gist's A Bride Most Begrudging. It's set in the Virginia Colony in 1643 and tells the tale of a gently born woman kidnapped to be sold to a colonist as his wife In t ...
Well now this is more like it! After several installments in Silhouette Desire's Dynasties: The Ashtons miniseries that were dull, and populated with boring characters, this book - Mistaken For A Mistress is full of events, and the characters are likable as can be. I enjoyed this one very much. ...
Summer Lovin' is a sequel to Under the Boardwalk. Both books feature the large and coloful Costas family and there may be other books in the works. This one is a pretty standard stuffy-man-meets-free-spirited-woman story and I'll have to admit I was not impressed by it. Zoe Costas has moved back ...
