I first heard of R.L. Smith when I read The Last Hour of Gann, one of the finest science fiction romance books I have ever read. It was difficult to read Cottonwood without similar expectations, but that would be doing the book an injustice. Twenty years ago, an alien spaceship came to Earth, only to…
Alexandra Bock, a young ER nurse, has discovered aliens are real. She discovered this by being kidnapped by them as they were destroying her planet’s population. But there’s more to it than just aliens taking over the Earth. And although Alex has reason to deem aliens untrustworthy, she finds herself interested in Gryf Helyg, one…
This is easily my favorite book of 2015. What makes it absolutely perfect to me are the likable, intelligent characters, the superb handling of the subject matter and the excellent writing.Most people I have recommended it to have loved it as well, which sort of doubles my pleasure. I hope this review will introduce it…
When I picked up this book to refresh my memory before writing my review I found myself rereading the whole thing. A rare space adventure romance this is a completely enthralling story about courage, love and the indomitable human spirit that the best of us convey. Just call it the Unbroken of the romance genre….
I love stories about aliens. I have ever since childhood when I discovered authors like Andre Norton and Isaac Asimov. While sci-fi novels have been out of style and fantasy and paranormal books have reached ascendancy recent publishing trends have me hoping we are about to see that change. Senior Cara Sweeney hasn’t reached Valedictorian…
Wendy Clyde here. Dabney Grinnan and I are discussing R. Lee Smith’s The Last Hour of Gann, which was released in September. While Dabney had read Ms. Smith, this is my first book by her and I was very pleasantly surprised by the book’s quality and complexity. When Dabney suggested we have a Pandora’s Box…
What is life? What is death? Is the essence of who we are stored in our DNA or is there more to us than just the biological being? If our form is changed, does that change who we are? Ghost Planet looks at what it means to be reborn in another world, another form. When…
It’s never a good sign when a review book takes me a month to read. If only Susan Kearney’s Jordan had taken just a month! I’ve been reading it off and on for the past three months, barely able to tolerate more than ten pages at a time. It’s not that the book was horrible,…
This is a book I would describe as way too busy. Though it’s action packed, there’s just too much to deal with in one story – from dragons, other worlds, kidnapping, scattered references to the legend of Camelot, to constantly running from things out to get them, I was tired when I finished reading. Talk…
First Channel part of the Sime/Gen series, one of the pioneering SF romance series. It’s not the first in the series, but it’s set before any of the other books published in this series, so some readers might prefer to start with this book. Because it’s SF first, First Channel has complex worldbuilding – something…
