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: Tempted by Elisabeth Naughton
August 29, 2011 By 14 Comments
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: Dark Awakening by Kendra Leigh Castle
July 26, 2011 By 9 Comments
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 [...]
Review: Keeping Pace by Dee Carney
July 12, 2011 By 8 Comments
I accepted this book for review without reading the blurb. I really liked the author’s contribution to the Undercover Lovers anthology and had already decided that I wanted to read more from her. I eagerly dug right in and realized this was a May-December romance featuring an older woman and a younger man with a fifteen [...]
Review: Can’t Hurry Love by Christie Ridgway

Ah, a “second chance” Romance. I have been in the mood for one of those lately. I enjoy the sense of depth and connection in the hero and heroine’s relationship when they have a past, so that was definitely a plus with Liam and Guiliana (aka Jules). This was my first book in the Three [...]

Review: The Last Time I Saw Paris by Lynn Sheene
June 3, 2011 By 4 Comments
In most Fiction (outside of Romance and UF) I don’t need to like the main character to enjoy the story. I guess it’s because I don’t get attached to them the same way I do Romance and UF protagonists. It’s more like watching a movie as opposed to immersing yourself in a book. But the [...]
Review: Dangerous in Diamonds by Madeline Hunter
May 25, 2011 By 14 Comments
I have been anticipating Castleford’s story since I first met him back in the first book of this series, Ravishing in Red. He was drunk, debauched, arrogant, thoroughly wicked, and I was helplessly intrigued. He was almost unlikable in the beginning, but he grew through each book and stole the show whenever he had page [...]
Review: Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison
May 20, 2011 By 23 Comments
I made a mistake before reading this book and I wish I wouldn’t have. Usually when I know that I’ll be reading a book soon, I stay far away from reviews and conversations about the book. It’s not that I’m afraid I’ll be spoiled, it’s just that I don’t want to go into a book [...]
Review + Giveaway: Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh

Ah, Hawke and Sienna’s book… It has been the most anticipated release of the series for me. All that tension between them and the curiosity of how they would end up together (with him already having had a mate) has made for a very long wait. While this book didn’t exactly rock my world the [...]
