Eli Easton’s standalone novella, The Curse Before Christmas, is a cute bit of undemanding seasonal fluff in which a lonely game designer finds love with an overworked ER doctor in a way that is more naughty than nice! Patrick Bocker moved from California to take a job as lead coder at Myth Monster Games in…
A monsoon is moving in while Prince Alaric, the Night Emperor’s son, and Talasyn, his new bride, frantically try to merge their magic to protect their world from an advancing enemy. This fantasy romance, set in Southeast Asia, is the second book in The Hurricane Wars series. I liked A Monsoon Rising even better than…
Ruby Dixon’s Bull Moon Rising is a departure from her outer space-set Ice Planet Barbarians series and thrusts the reader into a medieval fantasy world complete with mythical creatures and magic. It’s got the scorching heat one expects from this author’s books, but combined with some new, endearing characters, and intriguing worldbuilding, it’s a highly…

Narrated by Gary Furlong Secondhand Skin is the second spin-off of Hailey Turner’s fabulous Soulbound series of inventive, action-packed urban fantasy novels set mostly in an AU New York City.

He’s orphaned, lonely, and lost in his work. He certainly has…
Having read and reviewed April Asher’s Not Your Crush’s Cauldron, the third book in her Supernatural Singles series, I went back and read book two, Not Your Ex’s Hexes, which stars another of the three witchy Maxwell sisters, Rose. Rose had trained to be the Prima (the head witch) on the Supernatural Council to succeed…
This month’s Bananapants! prompt kinda stumped me because I don’t generally go for the all-out-bonkers-crazy in books, so I decided to look for something that might qualify as being ‘unusual’ instead.
