Lately I’ve been so thrilled with the new Fantasy/Romance hybrids being published by Luna and Tor. Even when the books are less than complete hits, there’s enough that’s fresh and original in each to make them almost all worth the reading. Revenge Gifts is no exception to the rule. It’s lively and funny and intriguing,…
After The Highest Bidder, there will be only two more books in Silhouette Desire’s Dynasties: The Ashtons miniseries. Roxanne St. Claire gives us a love story, re-caps who’s who in the Aston family and sets up the next book. That’s quite a lot to ask for a book that’s only 192 pages long. Paige Ashton…
There are some key adjectives to describe this book: Dark, very dark, and did I mention dark? Seriously, anyone with an aversion to rape, torture, blood, violence and evil will need to avoid this book. I have a pretty high tolerance for violence, etc., and even I was a bit taken aback by some of…
Beyond the Edge is the first of Harlequin’s Extreme Blazes, stories that claim to be more “daring” than those regularly published in the Blaze line. It’s certainly different than the norm, with a paranormal/SF premise that lets the author be especially creative when it comes to the sex. Too bad Susan Kearney doesn’t put as…
Take Me has all the ingredients in place for an enjoyable erotic novel featuring a plus sized heroine. Lily Ellis is beautiful and realistic as well. She’s a size 16 with cellulite. Travis Carson is rich, handsome, has a great body, and would win multiple gold medals in a sex Olympics. During the course of…
Nora Roberts’ newest romantic suspense, Blue Smoke, is a sweet read. Not in a syrupy, goody-goody way, but in a way that draws the reader in and makes them happy to be reading “this book” kind of sweet. Reena Hale’s life changed the day she was attacked by a neighbor boy and her family’s Italian…
So far, the books I’ve read in the Do Not Disturb miniseries, set at New York’s sex-themed Hush Hotel, have been fairly good. The same can be said of book four, Nancy Warren’s Private Relations, although I couldn’t help wishing the subplot had been swapped for the main one. Kit Prestcott and Peter Garson were…
In her early books for Silhouette Intimate Moments, Sharon Sala often blended romantic suspense elements with a special touch of magic that made them powerful, emotional reads. Titles like Annie and the Outlaw and When You Call My Name showcased her distinctive writing style and remain some of the most unique series books I’ve ever…
This is the seventh book featuring a heroine from The Distinguished Academy of Governesses. I have enjoyed Christina Dodd’s work in the past – Candle in the Window, That Scandalous Evening and Rules of Engagement are all on my Keeper Shelf. However, I stopped reading her several years ago when it seemed that her books…
Lynn Viehl’s newest book, Private Demon, is a continuation of the Darkyn series. It begins several months after If Angels Burn ended and the story continues at a fast pace with a new hero, heroine, and a host of characters from the first book. Thierry Durand is a vampire on the run. He knows he…
