Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews
One of the reasons I have come to love urban fantasy is the strong, female protagonists. Patricia Briggs writes one of the best heroines in the urban fantasy genre today in Mercy Thompson. Mercy is not only strong and tough but she’s smart, loyal and genuinely good, making her a heroine that is so easy [...]

Captive is the second book by Christina Phillips’ Forbidden series. A series set in ancient Roman times, this is an erotic historical novel that left me a little confused because unfortunately I didn’t read Forbidden, the first book in the series.
