Eden’s Shadow was one of the most anticipated books of the year for me. The latest in Harlequin Intrigue’s Gothic romance promotion, it’s also Jenna Ryan’s first book in five years. Her previous titles are some of the creepiest series books ever, and I’ve really missed her dark style as the series landscape has grown…
While Diary Of A Blues Goddess features many standard plot devices, it also boasts a freshness of writing and spirit that makes it a fast, fun, and breezy read. That it features a heroine who is likable even when making mistakes speaks to author Erica Orloff’s ability to write a good story. Georgia Ray Miller…
On the surface Katherine Sutcliffe’s last two books have been incredible tales of romantic suspense, with as many surprises, chills, and tingles as the most ardent thrill-junkie could possibly require. But, I think more importantly, both this book and the phenomenal Darkling I Listen were fundamentally tales of redemption – stories of people so wounded…
When Strangers Marry is a re-do of Lisa Kleypas’s 1992 book, Only In Your Arms. I have that book in my TBR pile, and after reading this, I think I will dig it out and see what changes were made to the original. As for this one, I really enjoyed When Strangers Marry. Lisa Kleypas…
I love Nora Roberts’ J.D. Robb books, I simply love them. But as for the books she writes under her own name, I find myself blowing hot and cold. Some of them (the Born In series) are on my keeper shelf, some of them (the Stars of Mithra series) I am indifferent to, and some…
Barbara Hambly’s first mystery set in antebellum New Orleans, A Free Man of Color, has a prominent place on my keeper shelf. Though I haven’t read the intervening several books in the series I was eager to review the latest installment, Die Upon a Kiss. Benjamin January is an accomplished physician and a virtuoso musician….
Usually when it comes to time travel books, I’m not too picky. My father, who is an omnivorous reader, can’t read time travel at all since the whole concept offends his sense of logic. I accept the premise and don’t worry how the characters travel in time, but once they do, if they act like…
It’s never easy to give a bad review, and this one is particularly difficult because the book in question represents an author’s life dream. Susan Elliston apparently spent fifteen years researching and writing Lafitte’s Lady before having it published by a vanity press called FirstPublish.com. I’m sorry to say that this book is awful. Tori,…
And to think I almost put this book down because one of Beau Dupree’s first lines is: “The minute Jose Lee’s out the door though, I’m picking it up right where I left off. First thing I’m going to do is find me a little blond with big tits.” I am not at all fond…
New Orleans and the Cajun country of Louisiana, are the background for Michelle Jerott’s Golden Heart Award-winning book, Absolute Trouble, and a wonderful book it is. Absolute Trouble has a wounded heroine, a bad boy hero, a drug-dealing slug of a villain, and some great supporting characters. Mix all these with a fast-paced plot and…
