If you’re a die-hard futuristic fan you’ll no doubt find a lot to like in The Black Rose because it contains some interesting ideas along with a sexy, if enigmatic, hero. But if you’re looking for a memorable romance along with the nifty futuristic setting, you may find yourself as disappointed as I was, especially…
In the past I have liked a couple of Amanda Ashley’s vampire books, and I liked Hawk’s Woman, which she wrote as Madeline Baker. But I am sad to say that The Captive was a disappointment in every way. Accepting a dare, beautiful Lady Ashlynne Myrafloures watches as the latest slave who has been captured…
I love the J.D. Robb In Death series. I haven’t yet read one I didn’t like, and Witness in Death is no exception. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is at the theater with her husband, Roarke, watching an Agatha Christie play when the mystery turns very real. A prop knife replaced with a real blade has left…
I like romances in all degrees of sensuality, but after seeing the steamy cover of Starlight, Starbright, I admit I was looking forward to some seriously hot love scenes. Unfortunately, this was the least of my disappointments as far as this book was concerned. Lovely Serena is a gifted young woman about to be married….
If I were to sum up Loyalty in Death in one sentence, I would say, “This book is ice, frigid, mag, remember the word elevator, and Roarke gets shot.” Alas, I would not be that cruel. And, oh, “mag” apparently means fabulous. In the New York City of sixty years from now, New York Police…
Do you enjoy a spirited romance set on another world but cringe when an excess of technobabble interferes with the romance? Then you may want to check out Lionhearted’s new e-book The Alliance. Reuel (pronounced Rule, and believe me he is aptly named) Shatar, Governor of the planet Pyrali, has a bit of a problem….
Being an inveterate Star Wars fan, I couldn’t help noting the numerous reference points between Nighthawk and the Star Wars canon. Picture the Rebellion against the tyrannical Dynast, how a cynical smuggler tries to stay neutral while being drawn to the side of friends and justice. Toss in the Dynast’s arrogant daughter, whom the ruffian…
The spine of The Magic of Two says it is a futuristic romance but that’s a bit misleading. It is more of a fantasy quest romance that reads like a historical, set on an alternate earth, with a little magic and a couple of demons thrown in. If you are a big futuristic fan be…
When I finally picked up Oracle, which sat in my to be read pile for months, I was all geared up for what I thought would be a ponderous read. Nowhere on the blurb does it scream “sexy, fun, and emotionally engaging.” Instead it says things like “well plotted, well-written, important fiction, destined to become…
This is Catherine Spangler’s debut novel. If you enjoy SF/fantasies, you may like this. Be warned, however, it’s pretty simplistic, and the romance is okay, but nothing earth-shattering. Leonessa dan Ranul is shunned by her people, the Shielders. Nessa feels herself unlovable, since she is physically deformed, has been all but abandoned by her parents,…
