Review: The Runaway Countess by Leigh LaValle

The Runaway Countess

I finished this book and immediately started searching out the author’s backlist. I am shocked–shocked, I say!–to find that this is a debut author. It had a few bumps in the beginning, but the overall quality to the writing had a richness of emotion and smoothness to it that I do not often find with [...]

Review: A Week To Be Wicked by Tessa Dare

A Week to be Wicked

There were women Colin counted as friends, and then there were women he bedded. Anytime he’d allowed the two groups to overlap, it meant trouble. Minerva Highwood had meant nothing but trouble to him, since the very first. But by God, he’d return the favor. Do you remember Colin from my Tempting Teaser of A [...]

Review: Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward

Lover Reborn - J.R. Ward

Thanks to the Nook iPad app, I downloaded Lover Reborn at 9:20pm (California time) on Monday night and read non-stop until I finished at 2:51am. And I’m not kidding about the non-stop … no bathroom breaks, no sips of water, I don’t even think I changed my position on the couch. I was the 1st [...]

Review: A Rogue By Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean

A Rogue By Any Other Name - Sarah MacLean

I have several go-to historical romance authors.  Lisa Kleypas, Anna Campbell, Anne Mallory,  and Jennifer Ashley are just a few that I will read without question.  Since 2011 Sarah MacLean has made a pretty good push to be added to this list.  A Rogue By Any Other Name is the first book in her new [...]

Review: Taking A Shot by Jaci Burton

Taking-A-Shot-Medium

I have a confession. Taking a Shot is the first book I’ve read in the Play by Play series. It’s the third book in a series that features unbelievably HOT covers, errr I mean sports romances. I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten around to reading these books other than the old stand by excuses: not enough [...]

Review: Playing For Keeps by R.L. Mathewson

Playing For Keeps

This book came to my attention and I bought it for exactly one reason: I was told it was similar to Shelly Laurenston’s style. Sold! It didn’t hurt that it was only a $0.99 investment, either. And luckily the recommender was correct. It did read like Shelly Laurenston. Yay! Another author to feed my need [...]

Review: By A Thread by Jennifer Estep

By a Thread - Jennifer Estep

This is the 6th book in the Elemental Assassin series so there may be spoilers if you are not up to date with the series.  The Elemental Assassin series has never let me down. It features one of the most likable heroines I’ve ever read and with each new installment I look forward to being thoroughly entertained. [...]

Review + Giveaway: Angels’ Flight by Nalini Singh

Angels' Flight

It was nice getting to see a glimpse of the Guild Hunter world from the sidelines. There were enough details about Raphael and Elena to perk my interest in reading their stories again, but I also got a deeper look at a few characters I have wondered about for a while. Namely, Jessamy/Galen and Ashwini/Janvier. [...]

Review: Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs

Hunting Ground

“You are a remarkable man, Charles Cornick.” He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and put his chin on top of her head. “I know,” he confided lightly. “And often underappreciated by those who don’t know any better.” The long anticipated release of Fair Game is fast approaching, so it’s time for me to brush [...]
