Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews
“I was a courtesan,” she said evenly. “Before that I was a straight-out whore. For a short time, I was a ten-buck-a-blow teenaged hooker who hung out in alleys, so messed up and hungry for sustenance I left a couple bodies behind. Now I’m a madam. I enjoy men; I enjoy sex. You have a [...]
Usually when I DNF a book, it’s because it’s just that bad, but that’s not the case here. I don’t mean to damn this book with faint praise, but I’ve read (and finished) a lot of books that I liked a lot less than I did this one. So why did I finish those and [...]
My friend Patti (AKA Book Addict Patti) from Caught in a Fab Romance is here today to review Black Dawn by Rachel Caine. Patti has reviewed several of the books in this series here at Fiction Vixen and we’re pleased to have her back again today. Take it away Patti! In Last Breath, the rain [...]
This was my very first experience with Suzanne Brockmann. I have heard her name mentioned quite a lot, both because of her Troubleshooters series popularity and because of various discussions in Romancelandia about her political views and how they relate to her series, but I have never gotten around to trying her out.

Every time I pick up a Shelly Laurenston novel, I know I’m going to laugh. I am so in love with her world of arrogant, over the top shifters. They delight in violent behavior and irritating others. They have no shame and are completely at home in their lust. Really, what’s not to love? Especially [...]
Beneath the Skin is the third book in the de la Vega Cats series. I have not read any of the previous book in the series or any of the connected series the Cascadia Wolves so I found myself a little behind when I started this book. It wasn’t too much of an issue, as [...]
The blurb for Wicked as They Come describes the book as part paranormal and part steampunk. I have only read a handful of steampunk novels and each one I found to be absolutely unique. Wicked as They Come was no different. Told from the first person point of view, Wicked as They Come is the [...]
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 [...]
