Catherine’s August 2011 Recommendations

Mercury's War

Finally we’re through August and moving on to September. I’m excited! Not only is the monsoon season mostly over here (which will hopefully relieve the mugginess), but we’re moving into the federal holiday season for me. I love free days off. Plus, I have quite a few books that I have been waiting for that [...]

Review: Masks by Evangeline Anderson

Masks

“You don’t ever have to be scared of me.” His deep voice was caught somewhere between sorrow and tenderness. “I’ll never, ever hurt you.” I stumbled across this novella when I was on the Ellora’s Cave website, browsing through their Free Reads. The truth is that I wasn’t expecting much: I’d never heard of this [...]

Review: Good Girls Don’t by Victoria Dahl

I always seem to hold out hope for a heroine that starts off on the wrong foot with me. I  try to figure out what motivates her to do what she does and I might even make a few excuses for her in my head. And even if she is still making me lift my lip in [...]

Review: Dangerous Race by Dee J. Adams

Dangerous Race

When I found out that Dangerous Race is Dee J. Adams’ first book, I was even more impressed than when I finished it. I don’t read much romantic suspense, but to me this was an example of the genre at its best: a compelling and (actually!) mysterious suspense subplot, combined with a terrific romance featuring [...]

Review: Tempted by Elisabeth Naughton

Tempted

Elisabeth Naughton’s Eternal Guardians series continues in Tempted the 3rd book which focuses on the story between Demetrius the “damaged” and dangerous warrior and Isadora the untouched spoiled princess. Their paths have been crossing for a while now in this series and as a reader I just knew they had to be together. I’m so glad Naughton [...]

Review: IOU Sex by Calista Fox

IOU Sex

I was attracted to this book because of the title and not necessarily in a good way. It’s pretty bold and quite frankly I cringed a little when I first read it. But curiosity got the best of me and I had to give it a go. I have to wonder how many people will miss out [...]

In Case You Missed It: Weekly Roundup August 20-26

Just a quick weekly roundup this week. The kids and I managed to catch a summertime cold so I’m cranky. I hope you’re all having a great weekend so far! Don’t worry, this post has been thoroughly sterilized with bleach and sprayed down with Lysol. I held my breath while typing because I care. Here’s [...]

A Rogue By Any Other Name

At last, a look at Sarah MacLean’s newest book. I can’t wait for A Rogue By Any Other Name to come out in February. I’m really hoping I’ll love it as much as I did Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake. ***** Ooh, Trouble at the Wedding looks good. I haven’t read Laura [...]
