I cut my teeth on historicals and romantic suspense, so I always enjoy an excuse to dive back into either of these subgenres. I’d read all but one of the books in Jill Sorenson’s Aftershock series and inexplicably the one I’d neglected was the one that intrigued me most. Badlands reunites Owen Jackson and Penny…
Football season is over, but if you’re jonesing for the gridiron, a football themed romance might help. While there is not a lot of actual ball playing involved, Pass Interference features characters from the San Antonio Hawks football team. Growing up the daughter of the owner of the Hawks, Tyler Gillette has had enough exposure…
While I’ve enjoyed all the books in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series, Dearest Rogue has been the one I’ve most eagerly anticipated. In fact, it’s one of my most highly anticipated books of 2015. Perhaps that’s a little unusual, considering this is the eighth book in a long-running series, but something about the pairing of…
Anthony Brandt said “Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.” It’s true that family can have the most profound effect on our lives. In this novel, family is a tie that binds, in both good ways and bad. Penny Sandoval has a complicated family life. On the one hand, her…
I’ll admit that when I saw the title, Sins of a Virgin, my first thoughts went to the virgin widows and faux courtesans that seem to live in abundance in Romanceland, if not anywhere else. And as I started getting into the backstory, I wondered whether the spy heroine was going to be one of…

Like many published writers who have been writing a long time, JoAnn Ross has perfected her style of writing and it hasn’t changed much over the years. Though a favorite author of mine for a long time, lately I’m finding I have an uneasy time with the perfection of her characters and the lovefest ambiance…
The Kelley Legacy series may not be sheer romance genius, but I will say that it works as a marketing ploy. Two C-level books in, and for some reason I feel compelled to buy them all and find out how this ends. Go figure. Special Ops Bodyguard picks up where the first book in the…
Some storylines in romantic suspense novels are believable, are placed in a realistic universe. Others are, well, not. Edge of Sight falls somewhere in between these two. Regardless of whether or not the conspiracy around the suspense is likely, it’s plausible within the universe the author creates, and enjoyable. Three years ago, Sam Fairchild and…
What A Demon Wants is a hoot. I haven’t been so entertained in a long time, and I can definitely recommend this light, fun read. Ellina Kostova is a half demon, half human author who happens to write a successful fiction series about a cake decorator-turned demon hunter named Jenny Bell. Unfortunately, because her facts…
