It’s been a long, long time since I read a romance novel that sought to provide laughter, tears, drama, suspense, and a heartily deserved happily-ever-after – and succeeded on all accounts. Golly, this is a fun book. Three years ago Aidan de Quincy and Madeleine Chandler fell in love and had an affair. But he,…
A post-apocalyptic, futuristic with vampires and werewolves is what you get when you open the pages of Scarlet, the second in a trio of books about Gina “Red” Santiago. But,when you open it, you’d better hold on ‘cause it’s a bumpy ride. Red has a few problems and that’s putting it mildly. She’s a werewolf…
Sometimes I read a book and, while it may not be perfect, I know right away that I’m going to like the author’s voice. Goddess of the Hunt is such a book. Even though it opens with one of my least favorite scenes – the innocent determined to “practice” seducing with little thought of the…
How to Tame a Modern Rogue is a light contemporary romance with some Regency elements thrown in. I found it to be a lot of fun and was particularly captivated by the plot. Ally Giordano has had enough of New York City so she accepts a teaching job in California and gives up her apartment….
Sapphire Dream is a time travel romance with an interesting, even (dare I say) believable premise. It’s a pleasant read, even if I occasionally found myself liking the idea of the book more than the actual book. Brenna Cameron travels to Scotland at the age of 25 to fulfill a long ago promise to her…
A portion of the proceeds for Tails of Love benefits the Animal Adoption Foundation, a charitable organization. I’d love to recommend this anthology for no other reason alone. My job, however, is to evaluate the stories and not the cause. Probably the single biggest obstacle for short stories to overcome is the shortened format, and…
Meet Dr. Lana Ericson, Project Manager for Material Transformation at Environmental Technology Research and Design, a research lab in southern California. Lana’s a genius of sorts and in her scientific research has developed enzymes that enhance the yield from edible crops. However, word’s out that those enzymes can also turn lead into gold and the…
I love it when romantic suspense authors write books that not only have me turning pages to see what will happen next, but also asking, “why?” Kate Brady does a fabulous job with this in the first part of One Scream Away. Not only does every chapter seem to bring a new revelation, but as…
I enjoy futuristic stories and wish there were more of them. They seem so rare that it’s a treat to find one that has decent world-building and a good storyline. Luckily, When Sparks Fly has both. As an established innkeeper on the mining planet of Polaris, Gem Harrisdaughter works hard with her sisters to prosper…
One of the things I love about reviewing at AAR is that it has allowed me to broaden my horizons and read a lot of authors I’d never tried before. For the Earl’s Pleasure is my first book by Anne Mallory, but it certainly will not be the last. I greatly enjoyed this story and…
