I was so impressed and intrigued by Wen Spencer’s debut book, Alien Taste, that I couldn’t wait to read the next book in the series, Tainted Trail. So when it came in the mail, I dropped everything else I was reading and gobbled it up in one sitting. I was happy to spend some more…
I’m slowly getting addicted to SF/F. Whenever I need a change of pace from romance, I wander over to the SF shelves in my library and take a peek. I’ve found a number of excellent authors in the past couple of years including Sharon Shinn, Connie Willis, Charlaine Harris, and Kelley Armstrong. With her wonderful…
Marilyn Pappano is a wonderful storyteller, and Heaven on Earth, her latest installment in the Bethlehem series, is proof of that. Even with the ever-present (though not prominent) angel gimmick, the perfect town of Bethlehem (so squeaky clean it bears little resemblance to reality), and at least one character per book with a soul-destroying problem…
Move over, Buffy . . . Step aside, Xena . . . Zoë Smith’s the new super gal in town! Ahhh, those marketing folks. They’ll say just about anything to make a sale, won’t they? Well, after reading about Zoë’s adventures I don’t think Buffy and Xena need to worry about retiring and settling in…
I was so excited when I received my copy of Fast Women. It literally made my day brighter to unwrap it and see its gleaming red and white cover. I’d been looking forward to reading this for months. Welcome to Temptation was one of my favorite reads for last year and I couldn’t wait to…
Warning: This book is not a romance novel. Do not read it expecting a loving relationship between a man and woman. Do not read this book if you cannot stand polygamous relationships. Do not read this book if you don’t like a lot of sex. And, finally, do not read this book if you have…
Though The Bride’s Bodyguard didn’t sell well, it’s one of those books I feel is a hidden gem. I hope you’ll do yourself a favor and search this one out; it’ll be worth the hunt. The Bride’s Bodyguard is the romance between Ross Trevenan, personal assistant to Alexandre Beaupre, and Tessa Lorimer, the nemesis of…
Although I would be hard-pressed to say this is one of the best romance novels ever written, I will say that I enjoyed it enough to lose sleep over it. I started reading it at ten o’clock at night and didn’t quit until I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. The best…
Science Fiction/Fantasy and Romance go together perfectly in my opinion, and nobody combines the two better than Jayne Castle. Orchid is the third in Castle’s St. Helens space colony series, and the best of the lot. Orchid Adams is, like the heroines from the other two books in the series (Amaryllis and Zinnia) a top…
Since the Loveswept line seems doomed, I hope another publisher snaps up Catherine Mulvany fast. She is too good to disappear. I love reading a writer’s first book and knowing that I’ve found someone whose new books I will look for. Upon a Midnight Clear is Catherine Mulvany’s debut and if she keeps on writing…
