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. Not me though, I’ve loved every installment Thea Harrison has released. One of the things I’ve heard over and over when it was announced that this would be Aryal’s story was that readers were concerned because she was Continue Reading
Riding the #CallawayExpress
By Melanie One of my favorite things about the romance community is when we all collectively discover a new-to-us author who has a pretty lengthy backlist. Last year, I asked for some historical romance recommendations on twitter - I came to historical romance pretty late in my romance reading journey and I wanted to spend this year reading new-to-me authors. Readers responded with a plethora of names for me to try (here is the original tweet if you are so inclined to make your own list) and Continue Reading

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
