Ever since paranormal romances began to pop up again in the Harlequin/Silhouette lines, I’ve been grabbing every one I could find. The psychic heroine seems to be a particularly popular device, and Sight Unseen is another take on the storyline. It’s an intriguing thriller built on some fascinating ideas, though it also falls short of…
I love sinking my teeth into a great vampire book. Sizemore’s hunky vamps can visit me anytime! Domini Lancer works hard at her grandfather’s private security company. She loves her job and protects her clients very efficiently. Lately, though, her psychic abilities threaten to interfere with her work. Who is the extremely handsome man invading…
Christine Feehan must face an interesting set of challenges when she sits down to write a book. On the one hand, as the author of the extremely popular Carpathian series, she is surely under a great deal of pressure to continue writing the same best-selling formula. On the other hand, she undoubtedly wants to branch…
Sophie Haversham is an impoverished gentlewoman who can sometimes see the future in her dreams. This time, she has seen an image of a violent murder that she wants desperately to prevent, but when she goes to the police to report her vision, Sophie discovers that the victim she foresaw is none other than one…
Not So Innocent takes place in London and its environs in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. Mick Dunbar, a detective with Scotland Yard, is celebrating his 36th birthday when he meets Sophie Haversham. Sophie is psychic, and she comes to Scotland Yard to tell the police that she’s had a premonition of a…
When it comes to gloms, for sheer numbers my all-time biggest is Jayne Ann Krentz in all her incarnations, including Jayne Castle. I haven’t enjoyed her most recent work as much, however, and I dearly hoped that After Dark would reverse that trend. Sadly, it didn’t. Like Amaryllis, Zinnia, and Orchid, this has a “humans…
Bad Karma is about a psychic. Wait, don’t run away yet. It’s by Theresa Weir, and it avoids the usual clichés. How often do you read a paranormal novel where the psychic pretends to be a fraud? Or a romance novel where the heroine has an eating disorder? The small town of Egypt, Missouri has…
Some readers may wonder why I do so many series romance reviews, but when I come across a special story, I want to make sure that credit is given where credit is due. Anne Stuart has been writing for many years. For me, however, she’s a new author, and one whom I find myself thoroughly…
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…
As a fan of Jayne Ann Krentz in her incarnation as historical romance author Amanda Quick, I wasn’t sure what to expect from her incarnation as futuristic author Jayne Castle. While I think any author who can invent an entirely new world that includes psychic powers and metaphysical constructs gets points for creativity, too much…
