It seems to me that mainstream society has become curious about the swinging “lifestyle” and, after watching some crime shows based around murders occurring at a swinger’s party, and hearing interviews with Peter Sagal about his Book of Vice, I too became a bit intrigued as to why a couple would be into this sort…
Fantasy is fast becoming my favorite niches within the romance genre. The Mage’s Daughter, the second in The Nine Kingdoms series by Lynn Kurland, is just one of the few books I’ve read recently that is slowly luring me into the world of fantasy. Morgan of Melksham is recovering from a near fatal poising at…
Are you tired of vampires but love paranormal romance? Well then pick up Marked By Moonlight, the first in a new series about lycans (werewolves). It features a great heroine, a yummy hero, and several secondary characters whom I know we will see again since this is the first book in a new series, The…
Enchanting the Lady is (dare I say it?) enchanting. Really, it’s cute as can be, and it’s clever and imaginative to boot. With a few adjustments, it could have been fabulous. In its present state, I’d call it fun – but flawed. Felicity Seymour lives in an alternate version of Victorian London. It’s a world…
Favorite books are funny things. Much like relationships, they are never perfect – they just have to be perfect for you. Shana Abé works for me. I recognize the problems in her books, but, for the most part, I just don’t mind. Take Queen of Dragons, for instance, the third and latest book in her…
Michelle Styles is best-known for romances set in Ancient Rome, and I know that some of her readers were disappointed that her latest romance is set in Victorian England. I had never read anything by her and was happy to pick up A Christmas Wedding Wager. I enjoyed many facets of the book, but one…
After reading Hot Target and Force of Nature, I (along with everyone else) realized that Suzanne Brockmann had a bit of an agenda when writing about Jules and his romance. While I totally understood, I was fearful that it would interfere with the story and with the character I’d grown to love. Luckily, that wasn’t…
It finally happened! A romance novel with absolutely no sex. I’ve had nightmares about coming across such a book. Well, here it is…and while it’s better than I thought, in the end I felt let down because the likable and well-written characters deserved more passion. Francesca Moretti is second generation Italian, surrounded by a loving…
The Right Mr. Wrong is the second book Cindi Myer set in Crested Butte, Colorado (following Marriage on Her Mind). It’s a quick, light read, and though the main characters have a fair amount of baggage from their past, the book is not filled with angst or deep emotions. While I enjoyed the heroine, though,…
I hate to say this, but fond as I am of a nice long historical romance, Once A Rake would have been so much better had it been a lot shorter. The characters were very nice, very likable, and I always enjoy a Beauty and the Beast story, but it rambled on and on and…
