Cut Throat is the second in a series, and evidently begins practically where Nine Lives left off. Sala fills in the back story very well and I wasn’t lost a bit. Instead, the book immediately pulled me in; I liked it so well I will probably follow the series. Cat Dupree is a bounty hunter….
I’m not sure how I’ve managed to miss Mary Brendan. I picked up A Practical Mistress at the bookstore, thinking that the plot sounded interesting – but not really daring to hope that it would actually be good. My Regency reads of late have nearly all been disappointing. Happily, this one was a nice surprise,…
You know those books that, even though there’s nothing overtly wrong, just never take off? The Dangers of Deceiving a Viscount is a perfect example of this lackluster group. Perhaps the cutesy-poo series title – The Desperate Debutantes, no less – should have been a clue, but I have too many fond memories of a…
I’ve always found Hailey North’s books to be satisfying reads and her latest is a perfectly pleasant, if somewhat innocuous one. The author returns to the small town of Doolittle, Arkansas (yes, it’s a series, but not an overwhelmingly stifling one, if you know what I mean) to tell the story of a former high…
It’s no secret that fantasy and paranormal romances are gutting the market these days. It’s also no secret to most romance readers that ho-hum, been-there-done-that, screamingly average fantasy and paranormal romances make up the vast majority of those books. Submitted for approval is this prime example. Start with a Highland lord. (Everybody knows Highlanders are…
The Mane Event features two novellas set in New York with shapeshifter heroes. Most books I’ve read featuring shapeshifter characters are very serious, dark and angsty, but this one is humorous. The plots are loosely constructed to non-existent, but the characters are funny and likable as can be. When I have as much fun reading…
I truly enjoyed Jigsaw, so when I saw Kathleen Nance had a new book out, I looked forward to having the chance to review it. Unfortunately, this story did not flow well as the suspense plot never really flared to life, weighed down as it was by a convoluted fantasy world. The world-building and the…
C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp continue to build on the fantastic world of the Sazis in Moon’s Fury, the fifth book in this interesting series. Full of animal instincts, pack politics, magic, and a wide variety of shapeshifters, this novel stokes your imagination. These authors have created an exciting and unique world that sucks you…
Although I’m a relatively new reviewer, I understand that “C” reviews are among the toughest to write. I can attest to that. This novel is not the worst thing ever written nor is it absolutely fabulous. No, the work is quite likable, but suffers from a major flaw. A flaw that leaves me ambiguous as…
When I first started reading romance, time travel romances were fairly plentiful. The quality wasn’t always terrific, but the selection made up for that somewhat. These days it really seems like all-vampires-all-the-time. Time travels are so few and far between that I nearly always snap one up when I see it. A Highlander for Christmas…
