First published fifteen years ago, this original and captivating work of fantasy is now being made available to the public once more. If you like deep, historically rich novels this is a not to be missed gem of the genre. Saavedra has done all she can to keep her inquisitive, rule breaking cousin Sario Grijalva…
Heroines with a scientific bent seem a dime a dozen in historical romance at the moment; some of them are credible, others less so. One of the earliest and most convincing heroines of this kind that I know of is Lady Elizabeth Conway in Sheila Simonson’s Lady Elizabeth’s Comet, which was first published in 1986….
Narrated by Kate Reading I’d describe Wolf at the Door as a big roasted marshmallow. There’s nothing to really sink your teeth into – just some fluff and some heat. If I were reading this book I would have been bored more than once but listening is another story. Kate Reading is a wonderfully talented…

The series tells the story of three generations of Rohan men. The sexy…
When I first opened this book I expected just another run of the mill, romantic suspense novel with a cop hero and his bad girl heroine. What I got instead were believable characters, a unique setting that presented realistic problems, and writing that pulled it all together to create a story I didn’t want to…
Narrated by Fran Liebow Easily sitting in my top five favorite contemporaries, I fell in love with Blair and Wyatt in the print version and read To Die For twice before discovering in audio. I excitedly purchased a copy online only to wait weeks for it to arrive in the mail (no digital downloads at…
Meredith Duran is hands-down one of the best historical romance novelists today. In A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal, she takes the classic rags-to-riches tale and turns it into a smart, insightful story. Nell Whitby is a factory girl, raised in an East End London slum to roll cigars. When her mother dies, a victim of…
One hates to gush over two books in one month, but here I am, gushing away. Ilona Andrews’ latest in the Kate Daniels series, Magic Slays, is the best yet.
