I read Passion for the Game because I really needed to review something different. My last several reads (for review and otherwise) have been complete duds, and I was ready to try almost anything that seemed novel. A Georgian historical with burning-level sensuality seemed to fit the bill. While it didn’t end up as a…
Sylvia Day introduces an intriguing new paranormal world in Pleasures of the Night, but the overall lack of development prevents it from having the impact it should have – or much at all. The story takes place in a world where dreams are real and Nightmares can be deadly. Aidan Cross is a Dream Guardian,…
This author just moved to the top of my auto-buy list. I loved Slave to Sensation, but had that fear in the back of my mind that maybe it was a one shot deal. Wrong! I’m happy to say I loved Visions of Heat, and from the looks of the teaser in the back, I…
The back blurb of Something Naughty intrigued me. I expected a fun and erotic romp, but unfortunately, the author did not deliver what the back cover promised. Plus I am not sure I have ever encountered a heroine whom I disliked as much as I did Tanika Davis. Damon Becker, whose grandmother is grooming him…
Soulful Strut tells the tale of a woman wrongly imprisoned for many years who is now free after someone vouched for her innocence. Although it should have been an interesting story to match the cool title, the book’s very slow pacing drained away my interest. Monette never expected to leave prison. Fifteen years ago, the…
I know that I like a romance when I not only enjoy the story while reading it, but genuinely feel happy thinking about it afterward. Deborah Fletcher Mello’s latest book accomplishes just that. She introduces readers to a number of really likable characters and creates a world that is very memorable. This is my first…
Mrs. Big promises a juicy tale – a woman who schemes to marry rich only to ponder about reforming her ways – but it badly disappoints. The heroine’s reformation is unconvincing, and I couldn’t care about her after she expresses no remorse for committing a stupid, selfish act. Loletta is a young, attractive black woman…
The promise of a truly strong heroine was all I needed to pick up Beverly Jenkins’s Sexy/Dangerous. Max Blake more than lived up to her billing in one of the more solidly enjoyable 2006 romances I’ve read. Dr. Adam Gary is on the verge of a landmark scientific breakthrough that has made him the target…
I’ve heard a lot of buzz about Sylvia Day and so was eager to read The Stranger I Married. While she does have a way with a love scene, I found the plot to be lacking. Gerard Faulkner, the 22 year old Marquess of Grayson, is planning revenge on his dastardly mother. While Gray was…
It’s always a treat when a series doesn’t disappoint. Progressively, this series has just gotten better and better. Liu has created a world with strong and interesting heroes and heroines. I can’t wait to read more! The Dirk & Steele Agency is much more than a detective agency, and so are its operatives. They all…
