Hot For the Holidays
The stories in Hot for the Holidays have a tenuous tie to the Christmas season but could easily be set at any time of the year. This is a mostly fun read especially if you like your stories on the steamy side.

The publisher’s blurb calls this one “four sexy stories of mixed-up couples and mistaken identities.” That’s a stretch since for the most part the contrivances are dealt with expeditiously, but this is a pleasant enough anthology with pleasant enough stories.
Make Her Pay is the eighth installment in St. Claire’s popular Bullet Catchers series, but it stands alone just fine. Between the unique setting and great characters, I thoroughly enjoyed this latest release. Constantine Xenakis is a former Navy SEAL and thief who’s determined to prove his worth to Lucy Sharpe, head of the Bullet…
I can think of very few series out there that really need more than about three or four books to make them complete. However, the Riley Jenson books are still going strong as of the eighth book in the series and, even after reading Bound to Shadows, I’m hoping to see more. A quick word…
It Happened One Night, is an angst-filled story of two sisters that reads more like women’s fiction than contemporary romance. The plot had potential, but ultimately I didn’t care for either sister and can’t recommend the book. Sisters Lana and Karin run the Wildflower Barn in Vermont. It’s a wondrous place where people can buy…
In complete honesty, I’m not a huge fan of romantic suspense, but I have to make an exception for Tara Janzen’s Breaking Loose. It’s a solid, well-paced story with sympathetic characters and sizzling sexual tension. Needless to say, I liked it quite a lot. For years, Suzi Toussi’s worked on various assignments for the Special…
When I saw the Never After anthology on our review list at AAR, I had to pounce on it. This anthology features some very strong authors and I expected great stories. As it turned out, most of the authors were not at their best here, but the anthology was still a good read.
On page 115, the hero asks the heroine’s opinion of his sketch. She gazes at it and says, “It is good. For a sketch….but it has no emotion.” I could not have summed it up better myself. It has been two years since Jack Vernon returned from the Battle of Badajoz, and his artistic career…

Stealing Midnight is a lush romance with a very gothic atmosphere. The hero is wounded and devastatingly handsome, the heroine is beautiful and resourceful and the villainess hides an evil disposition behind the face of an angel. Like all of Tracy Macnish’s books, this is old school romance – the kind I like very much….
I just love it when I find a new author to glom, and that’s exactly what’s happened with Captain’s Surrender by Alex Beecroft.Peter Kenyon has been promoted to the rank of captain, but his ship awaits him in Bermuda, so he must take a temporary position as a lieutenant on The Nimrod, which is sailing…
