Phantom Shadows by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #3) Paranormal Romance Released: October 2, 2012 Zebra Reviewed by Helyce I was so excited to return to the world of Ms. Duvall’s Immortal Guardians that I started reading this book the moment it arrived from the publisher and I was not disappointed. It’s done so well, that I truly want to live in her world regardless of the threat of vampires! In this book, we get Bastian’s story. When we met him in a previous book, he was Continue Reading
Review: Howl For It by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden
Released: August 28, 2012 Paranormal Romance Brava Reviewed by May A pair of paranormal romance novellas, each around 150 pages long and each features a wolf shifter, finding true love, and of course trouble with humans. For me the reading experience was very uneven - I adored the one story and merely tolerated the other. Like a Wolf With a Bone by Shelly Laurenston “Are you talking about condoms?” Lord, he looked absolutely mortified. “Yeah. Condoms.” “It’s ok to mention Continue Reading
Review: Together for Christmas by Lisa Plumley
Together For Christmas by Lisa Plumley Released: October 2, 2012 Contemporary Romance Zebra Reviewed by May Kismet: a place that promised candlelit ice-skating sessions, and official Christmas parade, a fanciful holiday-light house tour, sleigh rides with genuine jingle bells, a Santa Claus-lookalike contest (in the town square, right next to the community’s fifty-foot decorated Noble fir tree), and a weekly cookie-decorating get together and jamboree. It was all so flipping wholesome Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway: Beyond Shame by Kit Rocha
Beyond Shame by Kit Rocha (Beyond #1) Erotic Dystopian Released: September 16, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I’ve been a fan of Moira Rogers’s books for some time now. I primarily read their paranormal romance series. When I heard they were going to start writing some erotic (non-pnr) books under a pen name, I figured why not give it a try. And wow – I was pretty blown away by their first book writing as Kit Rocha. Set in a dystopian world, this book is filled with Continue Reading
Review: Run the Risk by Lori Foster
Run The Risk by Lori Foster (Love Undercover #1) Contemporary Romance September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of Lori Foster’s writing style. Her contemporaries are always written with just the right amount of everything I enjoy to make the story grab me from the first page, so much so that I do not want to put it down. Run The Risk starts her new Love Undercover series and introduces us to the leading men who will each get a book. Logan Riske is undercover Continue Reading
Review: The Angel by Tiffany Reisz
The Angel by Tiffany Reisz (The Original Sinners #2) Erotic BDSM Romance Releases: September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi My Favorite Quote: “My confession begins,” Father S said, “as the confessions of many men begin – with three words.” “Father, forgive me?” Michael hazarded a guess. Father S sighed. “I met Eleanor.” A few months ago I read The Siren and at that point it was my favorite book so far this year. I found the writing to be so engaging and refreshing. The Continue Reading
Joint Review: Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed by Anna Campbell
Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed by Anna Campbell (Sons of Sin #1) Historical Romance Releases: September 25, 2012 Forever Reviewed by May and Mandi He was like a mistreated dog, swift to snarl to fend off a kick. Oh, Jonas... Her heart squeezed with agonizing compassion. He was so wounded, she wasn’t sure anyone could heal him. Certainly not a chance-met girl who dallied a mere week. A girl who betrayed him with every breath. Her decisions had become so vilely complicated. The Continue Reading
Review: The Kingmakers by Clay Griffith & Susan Griffith
The Kingmakers (Vampire Empire #3) by Clay and Susan Griffith Urban/Steampunk Fantasy Trade September 4, 2012 Pyr Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “How will history judge me? I care not.” The Kingmakers is the dramatic, pulse pounding, emotional, heart wrenching conclusion to Clay and Susan’s epic Vampire Empire trilogy. From the first sentence of The Greyfriar (book one), I was instantly swept away into an incredible adventure of unimaginable horror, and an impossible romance so Continue Reading
Review: Not Proper Enough by Carolyn Jewel
Not Proper Enough by Carolyn Jewel (Seducing the Scoundrels #2) Historical Romance Released: September 4, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I don’t like you,” she whispered. “Not even a little.” “I know.” He lowered his head to hers, and he thought, To hell with decency. And to bloody hell with caution, “Isn’t it delicious this way?” I’m a huge fan of Carolyn Jewel’s historicals. Last year I read Not Wicked Enough and I loved it, so when Not Proper Continue Reading
Review: The Ugly Duchess by Eloisa James
The Ugly Duchess by Eloisa James (Fairy Tales #4) Historical Romance August 28, 2012 Avon Reviewed by May Perhaps if she napped, she would wake to find that this day had never happened. Perhaps she was in a fever dream. After all, the fairy story was supposed to end when the Ugly Duckling became a swan. Everyone knew that swans got everything they wanted. Beautiful people always did. Theo’s father died when she was a child, and she (and her mother) moved into the home of the Duke of Continue Reading
