Review: The Real Werewives of Vampire County – Anthology

Real Housewives

This was my first time reading works by these authors, with the exception of Tami Dane, whose book Blood of Eden I reviewed a few weeks ago on FVBR. For one of the authors – Angie Fox – it will not be my last … the others didn’t fare as well. Reviews are in the [...]

Review: Blood of Eden by Tami Dane

Blood of Eden

I was really looking forward to reading this book, because I’ve wanted to explore the UF sub-genre for a while now—not in small part due to the fact that I felt like I was ready for a (don’t kill me) romance mini-break. *GASP* I know. Just a small one! A change of pace now and [...]

Amazon’s Kindle Lending Library and the Latest Author Incentive

Amazon is the big giant in the book world, and ever since the digital craziness began they have truly become the company that everyone loves to hate … Well, everyone except readers, for the most part. When they announced a month ago that they would be letting people with Amazon Prime memberships borrow certain books [...]

Review: Desired by Nicola Cornick

This was my first Nicola Cornick romance, and I’ll admit that after reading the summary of Desired I was somewhat apprehensive. The heroine, Tess, is not my favorite type for historical romances, but I have been trying to read outside of my romance “comfort zone.” I’m happy to say that with this book, my taking [...]

Tempting Teaser: Desired by Nicola Cornick

Desired

He stopped when he was no more than a couple of feet away from Tess. Her violet-blue eyes met his very directly. There was now no nervousness in them. Owen wondered if he had imagined the tension he thought he had sensed in her. But no. He felt it again, and saw the way in [...]

Review: Too Wicked to Wed by Cara Elliott

Too Wicked To Wed

This is the beginning of Cara Elliott’s new trilogy Lords of Midnight and one of the best things about this book was undoubtedly the aforementioned Lords. I loved the interactions between Connor, Cameron, and Gryff. They each have distinct personalities, which is sometimes a pitfall in these types of historical romance series. I’m most looking forward [...]

Review: Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt

Ever since my Elizabeth Hoyt obsession began this past summer I have been anxiously anticipating this book. Mickey’s character is one of my favorite types of heroes and I loved his pairing with Silence. From the moment I learned of it, I was reminded of the Derek Craven-Sara Fielding matchup in Lisa Kleypas’ Dreaming of [...]
