Though I don’t really generally care for shapeshifter romances, dragon romances appeal to me because they’re often mythical, somewhat animalistic, and incredibly sensual. The Dragon Master combines all these elements with unique characters to make an interesting tale. Working on her MBA and building up her family’s restaurant business doesn’t leave Carol Juan much time…
Angela Knight’s Master of Wolves is part of her Mageverse series, and though I’ve been collecting it for a while, it’s actually only the second title in the series I’ve read. Unfortunately, I determined rather late that as far as “monsters” go, I prefer werewolves to vampires, which is why I’ve not gotten to most…
This is Nalini Singh’s fourth and best novel in her Psy/Changeling series. Ms. Singh is one of the more talented authors I have come across in a very long time, and Mine to Possess shows why she is at the top of her game. Clay Bennett, a member of the San Francisco Darkriver Leopard Clan,…
I already had a Dirk and Steele novel in my tbr pile, so I was happy for the chance to review The Last Twilight , the most recent installment in this unique series. Luckily, the story stands on its own, so I wasn’t lost. In fact, the hints of backstory, mixed with the success of…
Favorite books are funny things. Much like relationships, they are never perfect – they just have to be perfect for you. Shana Abé works for me. I recognize the problems in her books, but, for the most part, I just don’t mind. Take Queen of Dragons, for instance, the third and latest book in her…
As I began my first vampire/werewolf romance, I was a little skeptical. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the setting, plot, and characters Susan Krinard creates in Chasing Midnight. Allie Chase was the belle of Long Island society until she was stricken with a debilitating illness that left her wasting away and bedridden. Abandoned by…
When I picked up The Lure of the Wolf, I thought that I was in for another fun shapeshifter series. Unfortunately, I found cardboard, beefcake males who spurn clothing, and the women who have sex with them for two days straight and call it love. There was also a fantastic alternate reality world that nearly…
What is it about emotionally distant men that make my inner heroine stand up and take notice? Inner masochism? Love of a challenge? Bone-deep belief in the power of love? Whatever it is, it was on high alert through Nalini Singh’s third installment in her Changeling/Psy/Human world – Caressed by Ice. Ice follows the story…
Finally, an author has written an exceptional werewolf romance with an unyielding female as its lead. Kathy Love’s My Sister is a Werewolf is loosely connected to her other series featuring three vampire brothers; this story is about their baby sister, an intelligent and loving woman who wants to be “normal,” which means being human….
The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer, and Anne Stuart is a collaborative novel. The three author’s contributions are welded together so seamlessly that I was never able to pinpoint where one had left off and another began. In the end, my enjoyment of the book in itself was amplified in trying to…
