  • Ravenous

    The shelves at the bookstore are filled with various paranormal series, a sub-genre that abounds with strong characters, wisecracking heroines, and all manner of world-building. Because I see so many of these, I have to really enjoy a paranormal to find myself inclined to keep up with the series. That being said, Ravenous, first in…

  • The Concubine by Jade Lee

    I have been deeply fascinated with China and Chinese history ever since reading Wild Swans many years ago, and I was delighted to discover that Harlequin Blaze were publishing a historical romance set in imperial China.

  • Able-Bodied

    When I signed up to review Able-bodied, I thought it was going to feature an injured soldier and a physical therapist. I was right about the soldier, but the physical therapist turned out to be a woman who can literally heal with her touch. (Think faith-healer without the religious overtones.) I’ll admit that my knee-jerk…

  • Perfect Target

    Categorizing this book was a bit difficult for me. It’s part of a category romance line from Steeple Hill, and it’s the first of its kind to come across my TBR pile. Stephanie Newton’s Perfect Target is a series romance; it’s romantic suspense; and it’s also an inspirational romance. Bayley Foster is just getting back…
