Catherine Anderson’s latest is Early Dawn, a Western historical romance featuring Eden Paxton, a secondary character from Keegan’s Bride and Summer Breeze. Even though I haven’t read these – I have only read her contemporary romances – I wasn’t a bit lost. Like Anderson’s contemporary books, this one has action, angst and a very tortured…
If not for a plodding beginning we’d have a winner on our hands. But even so Ravishing in Red is still heads above the norm and it is all due to the magic pen of Madeline Hunter. Take the plot, for instance. We’ve seen it before – no question we’ve seen it before. Audrianna Helmsleigh’s…
Doppelgangster has been a long time coming. Luna published the first book in the series, Disappearing Nightly, which I enjoyed. Shortly thereafter, Luna completely shook up their fantasy line and the series was left without a publisher. Finally, after a three-year wait, DAW picked up the series and Doppelgangster was published at last. It was…
I’ll say one thing about Jennifer Ashley – she is versatile with a capital V. She has written historical romances, contemporary romances, paranormal romances, and erotica. Pride Mates is one of her paranormals and it begins the series Shifters Unbound. Shifters look human, but they can transform into various animals. In this book, we meet…
Let me be perfectly honest. I never would have read Bossman’s Baby Scandal if I’d had to buy it. The title makes me cringe, conjuring up notions of a powerful businessman who gets an employee pregnant. . And that would have been a shame, because the title does this book a disservice. This was a…
As Faux Historical Paranormal Werewolf tales go, this one resides somewhere just a teensy bit short of smack dab in the middle of the grading curve. As far as time setting goes, it’s murky, but I’m guessing about the 12th century. Not that it really matters because if historical setting were really important to a…
In general, I enjoy anthologies. They give me a chance to try new-to-me authors and I also like reading novellas and short stories to take a break from longer novels. As with just about every anthology I’ve tried, Bitten by Cupid is a mixed bag but it’s a book that gets progressively better as one…
This book had two things I really like going for it: it’s set in Chicago, and is filled with fashion. There’s a lot packed into this relatively short book and, until about two-thirds of the way through, I thought I would give it a much higher grade. Unfortunately, it fizzled out in the end, with…
I loved Double Play, the first entry in Ms. Shalvis’ Pacific Heat baseball series, so I was eagerly anticipating this next release, Slow Heat. I’m happy to report that it lived up to my expectations, and now I’m eagerly awaiting the next one. When a woman goes to the press claiming to be pregnant with…
I love my meaty reads, but sometimes I’m just looking to dive into the book equivalent of a box of chocolates. In case you’re wondering, Harlequin Presents tend to be my bonbons of choice. At their best, they’re rich, satisfyingly perfect escapes. Unfortunately some, such as Marriage: For Business or Pleasure?, end up being a…
