  • Show and Tell by Jasmine Hayes

    A reserved woman’s sexual liberation is hardly new ground when it comes to erotic romance. Sometimes the story works, sometimes it doesn’t. Show and Tell works for the most part, though there was a bit lost in the story of Trinity Green’s conversion. All her life Trinity has counted calories, made sure her lipstick stayed…

  • Tribute

    It’s been awhile since I’ve read an actual Nora Roberts book. I’m always current with the In Death series, but somehow her standard contemporaries have fallen by the wayside. Part of the issue is that some of her books – particularly the trilogies – have taken a paranormal turn that doesn’t really interest me. That…

  • Hot Property by Carly Phillips

    There is certainly no shortage of athlete heroes in Romancelandia. Hot Property is the fourth in Carly Phillips’ Hot Zone series, which centers around an athletic management company. You guessed it, the hero of this, like the others in the series, is an athlete – a baseball player, to be specific. However, our hero in…

  • Pleasuring the Pirate

    Don’t judge this book by its cover. Ignore the torrid display and the alliterative title and jump right in; you’ll have a ton of fun. Jacquelyn Wren really wants to kill a man. Not any man, but the new lord who is coming to take possession of her home, Dragon Caern Castle. Unfortunately for her,…

  • The Desert Lord’s Bride

    I’ve avoided sheik books in the past, primarily because, like cowboys and vampires, sheiks are just not my fantasy. I picked up The Desert Lord’s Bride because I wondered if it wasn’t a little unfair to completely dismiss the sub-genre as “not for me.” After reading it, I knew the sub-genre was not for me,…

  • Warrior

    I’ve found my first guilty pleasure of the year in Angela Knight’s Warrior, which kicks off her Time Hunters series. Take an alpha male hero, a strong heroine, and a nasty villain, then throw in the future, science fiction, and time travel for an attention-grabbing, fast-paced, lush romance. As one who normally avoids time travel…

  • How To Knit a Wild Bikini

    I admit it took me a long time to write this review. After I read the book, I was postponed by finals, moving, and a job search. And then, when I finally sat down to write the review, I realized I couldn’t remember much about the story and I didn’t have much interest in rereading…

  • Sam’s Creed by Sarah McCarty

    Second in Sarah McCarty’s Hell’s Eight historical western series about a group of Texas Rangers in the pre-Civil War era, Sam’s Creed achieves what Caine’s Reckoning managed to do. Once again using an erotic backdrop, she creates a mythic western hero, protective, dominant, and emotionally distant – but never cruel – who believes he is…
