The alpha president of a motorcycle club (MC) and a bartender-turned-badass heroine fall in love and raise a little hell in the newest installment of Chantal Fernando’s Knights of Fury series. A moderately affecting romance with thrilling action, Temper tells an entertaining, at times soap-operatic, story about a young woman’s journey to self-discovery. Abbie (whose…
Cordelia Kingsbridge’s Seven of Spades series comprises some of the best books I’ve read this year, and if you’re a fan of m/m romantic suspense/thrillers and haven’t read them yet, then you’ve got a real treat in store. The titular Seven of Spades is a serial killer plaguing Las Vegas, and because the series has…
Beverly Jenkins has been an autobuy for me ever since I was first introduced to her books as a reviewer. Since our prompt this month calls for reading an author with more than 1 book in our TBR, it was an easy call for me. I tend to accumulate books far more rapidly than I…
Forbidden is the first book I’ve read by Beverly Jenkins. I’m always interested in a good Western romance, and since I knew Ms. Jenkins has received good reviews before, I snapped this one up when I saw it was available. Based on this book, I expect I’ll be returning to read more of Ms. Jenkins’…
Narrated by Tavia Gilbert There are some books I just know I’m going to love. I read the synopsis, and something clicks in my brain. Such was the case when I stumbled upon Amy Harmon’s A Different Blue. Meet Blue Echohawk. Well, that’s what’s she’s been called since she was around the age of two….
Right now is a great time for those who love post-apocalyptic sci-fi. I am reading three different series with that theme and just finished watching the last episode of Dollhouse, which had a post-apocalyptic thread running through its season closers. I was surprised – and delighted – to find that romance has joined the bandwagon…
I liked this one. Make that I really liked this one. Fresh, pleasingly erotic, and totally free of anything to do with Regency England or an alliance of extra large paranormal warriors – in short, unlike about 95% of the books out there right now – Elizabeth Guest’s Night Life had me from its very…
Picking up a Nora Roberts book is seldom a disappointing experience, because Nora Roberts almost always delivers. The Winning Hand is no exception. It’s like reading a fairy tale, a Cinderella story with a rags to riches plot and deeply satisfying characters. It is also part of the MacGregor series, so fans have the added…
This book left a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it. It has my favorite romantic element – a Cinderella story. Many of my favorite romances as a young adult involved shy ugly ducklings making themselves over into swans and getting the guy. Apparently my taste hasn’t changed. You armchair psychiatrists…
I’m so happy! Merline Lovelace’s new SIM, If a Man Answers, lived up to my expectations. If it hadn’t, I would have been disappointed because If a Man Answers is one of my all-time favorite movies (starring Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee and Caesar Romero to boot!). This book lives up to the good connotations…
