These Boots Were Made for Stomping features three short stories, in which women order boots (or shoes) from more than just your usual online store. Overseen by the goddess Shoestra, hiheelia.com provides women with more than just kick-ass footwear, it gives women exactly what they need and want.
I have mentioned in a past review that I prefer the lighter side of vampires, so Michele Bardsley’s series about soccer mom vampires should be right up my alley. I had not read any of the previous books in the Broken Heart series, and, after reading Because Your Vampire Said So, I’m glad to have…
The Blossoming Years is just that – the tale of a young man who blossoms into an adult. However, I saw it more as this man’s fantasy, rather than anything based in reality. Where else but in fiction can you be the star student of your school, the hero of the football game (especially when…
I selected These Boots Were Made for Strutting because I have very much enjoyed Lisa Cach’s short stories in the past and had heard good stuff about Melanie Jackson. Ironically enough, of the three stories here, the Gemma Halliday contribution is the strongest. All three stories here feature footwear acquired from a mysterious website, hiheelia.com…
Pants on Fire is one of Meg Cabot’s stand-alone titles and was published in Great Britain as Tommy Sullivan Is a Freak. While it does not quite achieve the near-perfection of Teen Idol, my all-time favorite stand-alone YA title by Cabot, it is still a compelling read with a remarkably imperfect heroine. At the beginning…
I’d thought Hand-Dipped Pleasure was part of Ellora’s Cave’s series featuring younger men and older women, but it doesn’t have “Oh Yum!” on its cover. In Leannan Mac Llyr’s brief (11,300 words) contemporary erotic romance, a 35-year-old woman’s anger about being thrown off schedule on a busy day turns to lust when the object of…
Shiloh Walker is among the group of erotic romance authors who have crossed over from e-books to print publication, but unlike many, she continues to also publish in e-form. Drastic Measures is a new contemporary erotic novella (18,000 words) from the Exotika imprint at Ellora’s Cave, and it’s my favorite of the four short stories…
The premise of Through the Veil is a promising one: A woman raised as human actually comes from a supernatural race. Unfortunately, the story never truly takes off and a combination of lackluster plotting and an odd lack of chemistry between the hero and heroine doomed this romance for me. Lee Ross has little knowledge…
I ordered His for the Taking by Julie Cohen because after reading somewhere online that the original British title was Driving Him Crazy, I wanted to read the book that is supposed to fit both titles. To my surprise, it does. There are three chapters of “his for the taking” (in which the hero is…
Nameless is a better than average romantic suspense starring some emotionally scarred characters. I actually had a hard time deciding if this book should be in the C or B range. However, even though by the end I was pretty interested in the story, it had more average qualities overall than not. Three years ago,…
