My bookshelf has a baker’s dozen of Rachel Gibson’s 2000s-era contemporaries, which are all lighthearted, sexy fluff. When her novels began to take a more chick-lit slant, I drifted on to other contemporary authors and the romantic suspense genre, and she fell off my radar. I was pumped to remedy that with her newest book,…
I’ve read all of Simone St. James’ books and have either really liked or loved all of them. Her latest offering, The Book of Cold Cases, falls somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. Shea Collins’ recent divorce has left her both at loose ends and strangely unchanged. At loose ends because she now has…
This book was everything I didn’t know I needed this winter. Amid a haze of historical and contemporary romances with perky young heroines along with the occasional fantasy romance, Suddenly Psychic stands out. It’s a paranormal women’s fiction book which sees women in their mid-forties developing psychic powers – and if that doesn’t sound like…
To say I was excited when I learned that Charlie Adhara was going to be continuing her Big Bad Wolf series is something of an understatement. I’ve never really been into books about shifters, but after reading Em’s DIK review of book one, Wolf at the Door, I decided to try it and was immediately…

In January, I had the pleasure of reading The Wolf at the Door, the début novel from Charlie Adhara. I thought it was terrific and couldn’t wait to review it for All About Romance. So you can imagine my surprise when, after receiving an early copy of the second book in the series, The Wolf…
Back when I was in high school and college, I loved Silhouette’s Shadows line and Break the Night by Anne Stuart was a particular favorite of mine. I recently reread the book to see how it holds up. The suspense is still compelling and I still enjoyed the story, though there were some issues with…
I didn’t know what exactly to expect from Boy Down Under, but I’m sure it’s not what it turned out to be – a quirky, mysterious paranormal romance between the new kid in town and a boy who can whisk her away for rendezvous in places unknown. Rowena “Ro” Maven has just moved to Australia…
