THINGS TO DO BEFORE WEDDING 1. Become expert on Greek philosophy. 2. Memorize Robert Burns poems. 3. Learn long Scrabble words. 4. Remember: am HYPOCHONDRIAC. 5. Beef stroganoff: Get to like.

Review: The Wild Road by Marjorie M. Liu
I know I’ve said in the past that the Dirk & Steele series is best read in order, but if you’re looking to jump into the middle of it, this is the book to do it with. It fits in with the overall world easily, but it doesn’t focus much on the actual Dirk & [...]
Review: Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James + Giveaway
In late 2011, author E.L. James took romance readers by surprise with the first two books of her Fifty Shades trilogy. I cannot remember the last time two books have been so hyped when I had not previously even heard of the author or the titles. Fifty, aka Christian Grey, was one of the most talked [...]
Review: The Shadow Reader by Sandy Williams
This book turned out to be quite the surprise. I can’t think of the last time I’ve gone from completely disliking a book to practically inhaling it. When I first picked up The Shadow Reader, I made it to page 30 before I finally gave up and set it aside. It was over a month [...]
Review: Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis
Jill Shalvis manages to bring out every emotion when I read her books. Her Lucky Harbor series is one of the best contemporary romance series that I have read in a long time. Head Over Heels is the story of Chloe and Sawyer. We have seen both Maddie and Tara settle down with Lucky Harbor [...]
Review: Dead by Nightfall by Beverly Barton
Dead by Nightfall is the third book in Beverly Barton’s Dead by trilogy and the 13th book in the Griffin Powell series. It is really the continuation of Griffin and Nicole’s story. Their story started in book 8, The Murder Game. While that book ended in a good place there were hints of unhappiness between [...]
Review: Because Of You by Jessica Scott
Every now and then I go through a reading “thing”. By that I mean I pick something and go with it. I glom up everything I can of a certain type of hero, or setting or trope. For readers who visit Fiction Vixen regularly you might remember my cowboy stage—yee haw that was fun. Well, [...]
Review: Baby It’s Cold Outside by Addison Fox
Sloan McKinley is stuck in a never-ending cycle in New York City. Her family is considered high society and she is the ultimate failure having not yet married and spit out the required 2.4 kids. After another disastrous set up attempt by her mother she decides to take her best friend Grier up on her offer [...]
Review: Angels of Darkness Anthology
I’m not usually much of an anthology fan, but I needed a Meljean Brook fix to tide me over while I wait for Michael’s book, so I jumped at the opportunity to review this book. I was quite surprised to find that I really enjoyed it! Maybe I should try to overcome my anthology dislike [...]
Review: Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James
Apologies in advance, but I have to start by staking my claim on Christian Grey, aka Fifty Shades, aka One of the Best Romance Heroes Ever. Ladies: I’m in love! What a naughty, naughty boy he is. For any romance reader out there who loves alpha heroes who are controlling, domineering, obsessive, possessive, intense, tortured, [...]
