Beatrice Albright is a bitch, and there’s no other word for it. After seven Seasons and nary a proposal, she knows a large part of it is her fault. Her pushy mother can take the rest of the blame, however, and Beatrice is determined to escape her parent and marry. Unfortunately, her reputation precedes her…
Something More is a menage romance. Not only that, but it is m/m/f, with a strong m/m element, so it goes without saying that this is not for all readers. However, while this isn’t one of those stories where everyone magically accepts the gay and menage relationships, I didn’t completely buy into the heroine. A…
Tie Me Down is the first book I’ve read by Tracy Wolff, and, despite a few issues, I thought it was an engaging read, so it definitely won’t be my last. Homicide Detective Genevieve Delacroix is on the hunt for the sadistic killer who’s been targeting women in New Orleans’ famous French Quarter. Although the…
There’s nothing like a Christmas-themed romantica to get you in the holiday spirit. Okay, not really. I generally prefer more wholesome holiday stories, but A Year of Living Shamelessly does have a decent romance alongside the sex. I just wish other parts were more smoothly written. Katie Kramer has been in love with Ryder Scott,…
Enslave: The Taming of the Beast is surprisingly sound for an erotic romance. There is an actual plot, and to some degree there is also character development! Hurrah! I wholeheartedly applaud the author’s perspicacity, but the above-average-erotica quality of its plot and characterization was ultimately tempered by, well, everything else.

While I felt Paradise Rules wasn’t quite as good as Wicked Burn, it’s a fine example of what I’m always hoping for (but don’t often find) when I pick up an erotic romance: a racier, but still emotionally…
As Highland Obsession opens, Alan MacDonald and his new bride Sorcha Stewart are enjoying their wedding night when Sorcha is kidnapped from their home by the Earl of Camdonn. Alan soon discovers that not only has his old friend betrayed him by kidnapping Sorcha, but that Sorcha and Cam were previously lovers. For his part,…
Excuse me while I gush like a fangirl. I was so afraid that Beloved Vampire, while starting out with a bang, would eventually fade into mediocrity like so many books. Not at all. As the book progressed, it just got better and better, until it is now officially one of my favorite (if not the…
Men in Blue features three novellas with police officers as the main characters. I’ve always liked romances featuring characters in law enforcement and one of my guilty pleasures is watching COPS on TV. Alas, only one of these stories was any good.
Games Girls Play consists of three novellas featuring the three women from The Marcus Group, a PR firm specializing in working with pro athletes. It’s an erotic book, very much so, but I didn’t find much romance in it at all.
