I bought Holiday Kisses by Gwynne Forster because I felt I should widen my horizons and read more African-American romance. It was probably not the best choice, as, although the book contained several elements I usually like, on the whole it disappointed. Kisha Moran is a dentist who moved to Baltimore several months ago. One…
First things first. If you haven’t read Angels’ Blood, the first book in this series, then stop reading this review. Go out and get it. Read it. Then come back. Because seriously, you don’t want to miss a single word of this series, which I think is even cooler than her Psy-Changelings. Nalini Singh’s angel…
As debuts go, this is very, very good. As books go, I can recommend Proof by Seduction to you, but only with a few provisos. Jenny Keeble is a fraud. She calls herself Madame Esmerelda and, with no hidden magic that resurfaces when she least expects and no slumbering telepathic gene that transmits itself at…
Enslave: The Taming of the Beast is surprisingly sound for an erotic romance. There is an actual plot, and to some degree there is also character development! Hurrah! I wholeheartedly applaud the author’s perspicacity, but the above-average-erotica quality of its plot and characterization was ultimately tempered by, well, everything else. The technical style is average,…
Sometimes, when I read a book by an author I normally enjoy, I realize partway through that I am going to have to put together a review that pains me to write. This is exactly what happened to me as I read Captured. I have read several of Beverly Jenkins’ books so I know she…
I Can Make You Love Me is the story of a single mother in her early-forties, and the younger man who is determined to win her heart. It’s a pleasant, but ultimately average read. Real estate attorney Adam Carlyle has never forgotten Wynn Evans, his childhood babysitter and first crush. After Wynn went off to…
I haven’t yet caught up on all the Dirk and Steele stories, but I’m working on it. Liu has so far been very consistent at delivering interesting and well-done stories and The Fire King is no different. We again enter a world of unique abilities and this time we encounter a new kind of shapeshifter….
With a large part of the action set in India, A Trip with the Tycoon seemed like a perfect fit for this travel fan. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the descriptions of various sites, I never warmed to the hero and found the romance lacking. Tamara Rayne’s famous chef husband died over a year earlier. Everyone…
I’ve heard good things about Kimani Romance, but Pamela Yaye’s Games of the Heart was the second book by them that I’ve reviewed — and the second D. I know the publisher has a number of good writers and good books; I just haven’t managed to find them yet because this book certainly wasn’t a…
When I read the cover blurb of Brenda Jackson’s Intimate Seduction, by the third play on the hero’s name, my hopes sank. “Maybe it was written by a un-punny editorial assistant,” I tried to assure myself. Maybe the book is better. I was wrong. The story is just as bad as the back cover copy….
