If you are looking for a quick, fun read, and something to hold your attention, then this anthology is for you. It starts out very strongly with a well-written, light, funny, and very sexy novella. The second story begins well, then faltered, but the final contribution kept me thoroughly entertained.
Dark Possession is the 18th book in Christine Feehan’s Carpathian series. The description of the book intrigued me, from the highly intelligent race of predators with deeply protective instincts, to the whole concept of the life-mate, let alone the Brazilian jungle setting and shape-shifting jaguar men. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met…instead of a fantastic…
Sally Montgomery works for the prestigious Pierson family, exercising some of their horses. When the eldest son, Frederick Pierson, invites her to a cabin for a weekend, she decides to take a chance and finally try to put the marriage that has been over for fifteen years behind her. She doesn’t expect to be unable…
Even though Touch of Madness is obviously part of a series, I instantly felt drawn into the book even as I knew I was landing in the middle of the action. Kate Reilly’s struggles against the vampiric Thrall caught my attention so completely that I was content to catch up on bits of world-building here…
Let’s start off with full disclosure: I do not find professional contract killing amusing, charming, or cute. And that is a h-u-u-u-u-ge problem when it comes to enjoying this book, not to mention the new, hip-alicious, ever-so-happening, multiplying-like-locusts hitman/hitwoman sub-genre in general. Heroine – and this is a term I’m using very loosely – Gin…
Jude Deveraux is adept at creating worlds that span many different eras and locations. It’s definitely the style in which she excels – whimsical, romantic, and never quite of this world. Even her stories lacking a paranormal aspect always feel rather fantastical. This is what sets her apart from many other writers in my mind…
Moira Mctark shows us that it’s not the number of pages that counts, but what you do with them that are important. In a spare 38 pages, a sensual love story enfolds that almost had me tearing up. Cade and Claire were young lovers from very different backgrounds. Claire is the little rich girl with…
More a survival romance than romantic suspense, Linda Howard’s Up Close and Dangerous falls slightly off the mark, only to be somewhat saved by its brilliant characters. Bailey Wingate is a widow trying to deal with overbearing step-children who happen to be older than she. She married her boss over a year ago in a…
Heroes and heroines face a lot of obstacles in romance novels, but failing sanity is not one that could be considered run-of-the-mill. In The Perfect Bride, Lady Blanche Harrington faces just that. This book is also somewhat unique in that the romance is based more on mutual respect than physical attraction, which is a lovely…
I am about done with contemporary romance save my usual auto-buy authors that I can rely on. I think Dinner First, Me Later was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Boring, absurd, and exasperating aptly describe my reading experience. Jake Sims, a retired baseball star, is fighting for custody of his 13-year-old daughter from…
