Retro Review: Kinked by Thea Harrison
Review originally posted in November of 2013 on Fiction Vixen by Angela. Kinked by Thea HarrisonElder Races #6Paranormal RomancePublished November 5, 2013 by Berkley The Elder Races is one of those paranormal romance series that seems to be hit or miss with some readers.

Retro Review: Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt
Review originally posted in May of 2016 at Fiction Vixen by Angela. The tenth book in the Maiden Lane series featuring the dastardly, vain Duke of Montgomery has been eagerly anticipated by this reader. I’m always a bit intrigued by the anti-hero and how an author will ultimately redeem him. Or if they can get me to believe their redemption and emotional connection to that one special person who makes them want to become better. There certainly hasn’t been a man who fits the role of Continue Reading
