Catherine’s July 2011 Recommendations

Ecstasy in Darkness

How is July already over? Where has the time gone?!? Despite being shocked that it’s already time for August, I somehow managed to read quite a few books during the month. I found some pretty good ones this time around. The Devilish Montague by Patricia Rice: I reviewed this book just a little while ago, [...]

Random Friday: Water Llama, Queen Elizabeth, Gin-OClock, and Nice Girls Don’t…

Surfing Llama

Happy Friday! So, what did you do this week? Was it fabulous? I honestly can’t recall much at all from the week. Although I did go to WalMart and I survived. Now I’m just living in fear that I will see my photo up on the People Of Walmart site. So because I was pretty [...]

Charlie

Fiction Vixen Book Reviews is pleased to welcome author Inez Kelley today.   FV: Hi Inez, welcome to Fiction Vixen. Why don’t you tell us a little about yourself? IK: I’m boring.

Review: Turn It Up by Inez Kelley

Turn It Up

Dr. Bastian Talbot and self-proclaimed sex goddess Charlie Pierce heat up the air waves with their flirty banter as radio hosts Dr. Hot and the Honeypot. Off the air, they’re best friends…but Bastian wants to be so much more. He wants Charlie—in bed, and forever. Problem is, Charlie doesn’t do commitment. Sure, she’s had X-rated [...]

Review: Grave Dance by Kalayna Price

Grave Dance

What happened with this book? I thought this was going to be a sure thing! Maybe it’s more glaring because I read the first book, Grave Witch, immediately before I started this one, but everything felt off kilter. I’m not saying that I thought this was a bad book, because it wasn’t, but it sure [...]

Review: Grave Witch by Kalayna Price

Grave Witch

What a fun new series! It had a few off notes, but on the whole I was really impressed. The heroine, Alex, was surprisingly relatable. I winced over some of her life choices–the one night stands being chief among them–but that never kept me from liking her. She was pretty friendly and down to earth [...]

Review: The Devilish Montague by Patricia Rice

This is my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last. We definitely started off on the right foot. As soon as I started reading, I was hooked. I smiled my way through the book and finished it wishing I had an easier time finding books that pleased me as much as [...]

Review: Dark Awakening by Kendra Leigh Castle

Dark Awakening

I was hesitant to start this book because I was nervous the vampire/shifter hero would end up being a caricature. Too powerful, too unique, too everything. What I didn’t realize from reading the back cover was that Tynan’s shapeshifting abilities were not unique and that it actually made him looked down upon in the vampire [...]
