There are few things I appreciate more than a well-written, alternate reality romance that doesn’t need much back-story and isn’t too complicated. Darkness Unknown is the fifth installment in Alexis Morgan’s Paladin series, but it functions as a stand-alone and avoids unnecessary data dumps. Gwen Mosely dropped out of college to return to the family…
No Words Alone is a futuristic that’s a lot of fun. In the end, however, it only served to reminded me why I usually like science fiction more than most futuristic romances. Sure, it was enjoyable to read, but issues big and small kept nagging at me. Most of all, for all the futuristic trappings,…
I liked this book much more than I expected too. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the Twilight phenomenon in action. In the last year these books have seen incredible buzz, and everyone and their dog seemed to be reading them. I read the first one, because it was a selection…
Midnight Rising is the fourth installment of the Adrian’s Midnight Breed series. The plot immediately drew me in and I liked its thoroughly tortured hero, Rio. Because the action is light, the hero and heroine – and their relationship – got the attention they deserved. Although not all great, this was a fun read overall….
How To Lose An Extraterrestrial in 10 Days is the last in Susan Grant’s very enjoyable science fiction trilogy (the first two titles are Your Planet or Mine and My Favorite Earthling). While paranormal romances are sprouting up like weeds, science fiction romances are hard to find, and this is one that I can recommend…
It’s been along time since I read a science fiction (as opposed to fantasy) romance. Not having read the first book in Susan Grant’s series I was a bit lost, but after a few chapters I got my bearings. Jared Jasper’s family has been prominent in California politics for years and held up public service…
As I read True Blood, I kept flipping to the front cover to check the writer’s name. Doesn’t Patricia Waddell usually write historical romances? Her offering of SF romance is terrific! The Llyndar, a Korcian freighter ship, is traveling through an area controlled by the League of Planets when it explodes, killing all 46 crewmembers…
Stargazer is a rousing space adventure set in a fascinating universe brought vividly to life. Exciting and action-packed, it’s one of the most purely fun books I’ve read this year. Lilly is a princess from Oasis, a garden planet currently at war with the neighboring Ravigans. Raviga is a desolate world made inhospitable through years…
“Jane Austen meets Genghis Khan on the set of Lawrence of Arabia.” – that’s how author Kate Elliott sums up Jaran. It’s an apt description for a rich tapestry of a novel filled with adventure, romance, and clashing cultures, all combined with a certain comedy of manners sensibility about which I believe Miss Austen would…
Judi McCoy’s Wanted: One Perfect Man has a very original and rather fun paranormal setup. It falters in execution, though, and is likely to be enjoyed most by those who don’t closely examine the plot. Robert Lotello is in hiding. Six years ago he abandoned his career as an astronomer, kidnapped his toddler son, Will,…
