Review: Archangel’s Assassin by Barbara Elsborg

December 12, 2017 by Helyce 2 Comments

Archangel’s Assassin by Barbara Elsborg Paranormal M/M Romance December 2, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce Tao wakes up in the middle of a park with no memory of who he is. While he does know where he is and some basic survival type things like needing to find shelter and food, he can’t remember anything before waking in the park. He had a bracelet on with the word “Tao” on it which he assumes is his name and so he calls himself this. He hates that he’s forced to panhandle, but Continue Reading

Review: Close Contact by Lori Foster

December 1, 2017 by Helyce 2 Comments

Close Contact by Lori Foster (Body Armor #3) Romantic Suspense November 28, 2017 HQN Reviewed by Helyce This story starts off with a bang when our heroine, Maxi, awakens to find herself outside her home and under the stars near the pond on her property, with no memory of how she got there. Understandably freaked out, she walks back to her house, grabs her keys, and drives away as fast as she can. The only person she can think of to help her is Miles Dartman, a man she’d met a few months Continue Reading

Review: Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh

November 7, 2017 by Helyce 1 Comment

Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh (Rogue Justice #1) Romantic Suspense Novella 110 pages October 31, 2017 Montlake Reviewed by Helyce It’s been awhile since I’ve read a romantic suspense and this novella length story was a good choice to revisit the genre. The story takes place in a very small town called Solitude. It’s one of those towns where everyone knows everyone and is likely related. Such is the case with Twisted Truth. The author sets the tone of the story with a horrific Continue Reading

Review: Wild Thing by Liberty Laine

October 12, 2017 by Helyce 1 Comment

Wild Thing by Liberty Laine Contemporary Romance Novella (80 pages) September 7, 2017 Self-Published Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: [..] I want him. I want him more than all the chocolate cake in the world, and I freaking love chocolate cake. Tillie and Nathan have known each other since they were kids. People say Tillie came from the wrong side of the tracks, but in truth she was just a kid who had a less than perfect home life and was doing the best she could. Nathan was from Continue Reading

Review: In Tune Out of Sync by Kate Forest

October 10, 2017 by Helyce 2 Comments

In Tune Out of Sync by Kate Forest Contemporary Romance October 5, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce I was incredibly intrigued at the prospect of a story where both protagonists suffer from such different disorders. As I write this first sentence I struggle with using that word: disorder. It doesn’t quite feel right, but it somehow felt the least offensive of other words such as handicap, affliction, or disability. Because Ronnie and Scott are none of those things. Ronnie and Scott are Continue Reading

September 19, 2017 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Crown of Betrayal by Graceley Knox Wicked Kingdoms #2 Fantasy Romance August 8, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce Book two in Ms. Knox’s amazing fantasy series begins right where we left off in book one, Mark of Truth.  Ever and her crew are still trying to make sense of everything that has happened. Her mother is missing, but whether there is foul play or she’s gone into hiding is unclear. Ever thinks that she’s safe from the immediate threat of Cashel, who is in a dungeon Continue Reading

Review: Addicted to Rhapsody by Selena Laurence

September 8, 2017 by Helyce 1 Comment

Addicted to Rhapsody by Selena Laurence (Rhapsody #4) Contemporary Romance July 24, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “You’ve just gotten your wings. Now you’ll learn how to fly.” Garrett Jakes is the frontman for the group Rhapsody. He is gorgeous, with a sexy, gritty voice that is perfect for the band’s style of music. He is also a recovering sex addict, 1 year post rehab. He’s been staying in Portland, far away from the temptation of the LA music scene, while Continue Reading
