Finders Keepers by Linnea Sinclair is a book I find myself re-reading at regular intervals, three times in three years so far. The first time I read it I considered it a guilty pleasure, with its dramatic plotline and the so very obvious Cinderella theme. It was only on rereading it that I discovered how…
After finishing Linnea Sinclair’s novel, I felt a strong urge to go on a marathon of Star Trek episodes.

Susan Krinard has again superbly demonstrated why she is one of my favorite authors. She has written a remarkable and complex universe, and a great romance too! This book absorbed and captivated me and I read most of it in one sitting. In Krinard’s universe, mankind populated distant planets (the Nine Worlds and Concordant planets…

Beyond Sunrise is a rip-roaring adventure romance that keeps its hero and heroine hurtling from one dramatic and exciting moment to the next for most of its 423 pages. If that were all it was, it would be one terrific read. But Candice Proctor somehow manages to blend action, excitement and thrills with passion, emotion…
