It sort of kills me not to be able to give The Haunting a better grade. It’s a very well-written book, with a grace and flow to its prose that’s too seldom seen in series romances anymore. Hope Tarr also delivers a sexually explicit story that goes beyond mere sex, finding the deeper emotions in…
I’m a junkie for paranormal romance and for Sex in the City, so let’s just say the title intrigued me. After all, how can you go wrong combining dating, sexy singles, and the paranormal, right? And, had Tawny Taylor stuck to a solely paranormal romance premise, I think this book would have definitely been a…
Don’t you just love it when a big, braw, kilt-wearing, Medieval laird is knocked for a loop and completely flummoxed by a small, feisty redhead? I know I do. But when the laird in question has been dead for 700 years, romance becomes a very complicated proposition. Victoria McKinnon, who produces and directs a small…
While I read a paranormal romance every now and then, I can’t recall reading an old-fashioned ghost story so reminiscent of 1950s horror flicks wherein a reluctant hero must rush to save everybody in a house that is best described as haunted. Set in the notorious town of Diablo Springs, Arizona, Whispers gives us two…
I opened this book feeling sympathetic to the author: there’s a typo in the cover quote! (Either that, or someone email me what a “sexy ramp” is.) Also, I had just watched a show about the Titanic, and was really keen to read about the tragic flapper ghost haunting an old luxury liner. Sadly, I…
The Tempting is the kind of book that defies easy grading. I’ve held on to a copy ever since I first read it, not because I loved it, but because I knew I’d never find anything like it again. Parts of it are extraordinary, parts of it are too strange for words. Normally that would…
I’m only a “sometimes” fan of paranormal romance. Sometimes I’m in the mood for a woo-woo element and I’ll want to read about a ghostly visitor or a time-traveling hero. Probably because of my hit-or-miss approach, that’s what I usually end up with, either a hit or a miss. Occasionally I find something in between….
I go into each book I read with high hopes. I know every book can’t be perfect and I don’t expect perfection, but I do have standards: a good plot and characters I can like. Unfortunately The Lover’s Knot met neither standard. It starts off with our heroine, Mariah, wishing her lover would hurry up…
NOTE: This book has been republished as Phantom Bride Of Midnight Born is an intimate, cozy paranormal, and I found it quite delightful. Solid characterization and well-integrated humor rest securely on the crumbling foundation of a haunted castle. In 1350, Serena Clerenbold and her brother are the only members of their family to survive the Black…
Beaudry’s Ghost is an electronic book available from Dreams Unlimited. It’s not a bad read, and is actually better than many traditionally published ghost romances. Mourning the loss of her twin brother, Taylor Brannon takes his place on a Civil War Reenactment field. Their last conversation ended in a heated argument and Taylor never had…
