Parallel Heat
by Deidre Knight
"Knight turns up the heat in Parallel Heat"
Posted April 21, 2007
Deidre Knight delivers her second tale in the Parallel
series and it totally dazzles. Many of the first book tics
of Parallel Attraction are gone in this her second novel.
The flow is better. Questions are answered. Parallel
Attraction wasn't an "easy read". Complicated premises
never are, so it Read more...
Shadow Lines
by Carol Stephenson
"brilliant 4th in a series"
Posted December 15, 2006
Carol Stephenson is one of the best, and maybe the most
underused writer for Harlequin Romances. She had done three
amazing books for them, Nora's Pride, Courting Danger, and
now the fourth installment of Bombshell's brilliantly
conceived and realized Madonna Keys series. The books in
order -- 1) Lost Read more...
Mona Lisa Awakening
by * Sunny
"amazing debut"
Posted January 3, 2007
I absolutely love those old 1950s B-flicks set it in Outer
Space, so I guess I'm already set up to enjoy this kick-
arse, sizzling debut of Sunny (one name like Cher!). She
penned a Sci-Fi Fantasy erotica that shows a tremendous
amount of talent in her Read more...
The Falcon's Bride
by Dawn Thompson
"spellbinding tale of timeless love"
Posted November 10, 2006
Dawn Thompson has to be one of the hottest rising stars in
Historical Romance today. This is so good to hear. In a
period when everyone else bemoans the genre is dead,
Thompson is making them eat their words. She is a writer
who doesn't speak down to readers Read more...
Your Planet or Mine?
by Susan Grant
"Grant delivers on all levels"
Posted March 26, 2007
People sadly do judge books by covers and often they like
to "brand" authors. I hear that buzz word pushed about in
writing circles all the time now, and author must brand
themselves to be a hit. Well, being one who likes the off
the beaten path, I think of Read more...
Camelot's Destiny
by Cynthia Breeding
"a lovely retelling of Camelot with heart and vision"
Posted January 26, 2007
Grail fans will enjoy this new look at a "twice-told tale".
It's less focused on the grandeur of Excalibur's scale, a
more personal look at Arthur, his queen and the man they
both adored. Instead of going with the myth, Breeding looks
beyond the lore and finds Read more...
Happy Hour at Casa Dracula
by Marta Acosta
"Brava! Amazing!"
Posted March 26, 2007
What an utter delight! Happy Hour at Casa Dracula by Marta
Acosta offers the readers an odd mix. Sex and Vampires,
Latino style! And what a mix! The author has her finger on
the pulse of this formula and sees its heart just keeps
beating from start to finish. I Read more...
Seduced by the Night
by Robin T. Popp
"highly original twist on the vampire genre"
Posted December 15, 2006
I am getting a little weary of vampire tales of late, but
there seems to be no stopping the genre. One of the best to
emerge from this over-crowded category is Robin T. Popp.
Popp pulls a cross-genre twist on this, making her Night
Slayer series unique. Her Read more...
Ghost Hunter
by Jayne Castle
"JAK at the top of her game"
Posted November 29, 2006
JAK has been on my pre-order list for two decades - Jayne
Ann Krentz, Amanda Quick and her Jayne Castle paranormals.
However, I think JAK's best writing of the last decade has
been her Castle books. Amaryllis, Zinnia and Orchid, were
sexy, funny and dead on target. The type Read more...
The Untamed One
by Ronda Thompson
"character-driven romance"
Posted January 3, 2007
I often see readers whine a story should have been this or
that way...sorry, I think they miss the point. You the
readers are listening to a storyteller. Ages ago, when the
bard stood before fireside and wove tales for
entertainment, no one stopped him and said, "I don Read more...
The Burning
by Susan Squires
"Behold the new Queen of the Vampires"
Posted November 29, 2006
The Queen (of the Vampires) is dead; long live the Queen.
Paraphrasing the old royal address, I adapted it into a
play on words using Anne Rice's Queen of the Vampires
title. Rice has finally--so she says--gotten rid of Lestat.
That is punishment to Rice. Lestat was Read more...
A Clan Chief, A Dragon and Evelyn
by Aysel Arwen
"Another Enchanting Awen tale"
Posted January 26, 2007
The lively and talented Arwen has penned yet another
enchanting tale, demonstrating a writer with the passion
for romance. Each book shows her sparkling zest for the
genre; each showcasing another layer in her growing
talent. Setting in 1600s Ireland, Dylan MacTavish, chief
if his clan is determined to stop Read more...
The Waterlord
by Dawn Thompson
"brilliant second book from a rising star"
Posted November 23, 2006
I knew several people who have read The Waterlord and raved
it was brilliant, even better than The Ravencliff Bride.
Even though I know these are astute reviewers and I trust
their judgement, I had to admit I needed to see for myself
because I loved the beauty of "Bride Read more...
The Saint
by Melanie Jackson
"A brilliant, charming tale of whimsy"
Posted November 25, 2006
The last of the Goblins!!? Say it ain't so, Miz Melanie! We
don't know nuttin' about birthin' Gremlins!! You haven't
destroyed the Kentucky Derby or the Highland Games....The
Goblins meet the Loch Ness Monster (Toho was screaming for
the rights to make a movie of this Read more...
A Circle of Crows
by Brynn Chapman, Chere Gruver, Editor
"Evokes the tension of "The Village""
Posted January 6, 2007
A Circle of Crows is the debut book for Brynn Chapman and
she gives us a dark tale of missing children. In writing,
we are often encouraged to distill our books to two movie
titles - called the "High Concept". At a writers convention
you have a very limited window to Read more...
Midnight Magic
by Shari Anton
"A wonderful Medieval set in Wales"
Posted December 5, 2006
I constantly wonder with the influx of Scottish historicals
that you'd think England and Scotland were the only two
countries in Great Britain. Wales and Ireland have an
amazing history, and I appreciate writers you don't follow
the pack, but go looking for fresh lore, original stories.
Anton Read more...
A Pharaoh, A Spell & Jade
by Aysel Arwen
"An charming and original story"
Posted December 15, 2006
My passion for history was bred and spoon-fed on the
ancient lore and history of Scotland, but I once considered
going into Egyptian Archaeology. There is something about
the riddle of the Sphinx, the pyramids, which lures the
imagination. Toss in a great love for old Mummy movies, you Read more...
A Quick Bite
by Lynsay Sands
"Lucern's little sister finally gets her story"
Posted November 27, 2006
Lynsay is back with another long-awaited Argeneau tale, and
new sexy updated cover instead of the cartoon ones. New
Publisher, the vamps are no longer with Dorchester. They're
now put out by Avon (though Dorchester will continue to do
her Historicals). Originally, this was the very first
Argeneau Read more...
Ancient Ties
by Jane Leopold Quinn
"outstanding, sensual Time-Travel"
Posted January 6, 2007
I am always looking for fresh voices in Romance. New
writers have such a special passion for their stories. And
boy does Jane Quinn have a passion! Ancient Ties is a Time-
Travel that is a sensual journey of one woman to find her
soulmate, a man who lived 2000 Read more...
The Hunger
by Susan Squires
"Second in Regency Vampires"
Posted November 25, 2006
Susan Squires has a new vampire trilogy going for St.
Martins. The first, THE COMPANION, was a knock out of a
story that took you into sweeping locales and into the dark
realm of the vampire. The second book in the series is out
now, THE HUNGER, and she continues Read more...
