June 21, 2017 by Tori 1 Comment

Sight Unseen by Sherry Thomas, Meredith Duran, Erin Satie, Emma Barry, & J.A. Rock Romance Anthology/Novella June 6, 2017 Open Ink Press Reviewed by Tori What stories would you tell if you could? Where would your mind take you, if you let it?Five top voices in romance dare you to explore the distant corners of their imaginations as they test the limits of storytelling and break the boundaries of what they thought possible. But there’s a twist—the author of each story is a secret. Continue Reading

Guest Post: Emma Barry and Sight Unseen

June 9, 2017 by Mandi 1 Comment

Emma Barry talks her new release, SIGHT UNSEEN Masquerade balls. Spy fantasies. “Let’s pretend to be strangers” moments. They all jump off from the same question: who can I be if I don’t have to be me? In one of my all-time favorite romances, Elizabeth Hoyt’s The Raven Prince, the widowed Anna wheedles her way into a secretary job only to fall hard for her employer, the gruff Earl of Swartingham. He’s brusque and snappish and obsessed with farming techniques…and she can’t have him. But Continue Reading

Round Midnight by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner

December 2, 2016 by Kini 1 Comment

Round Midnight (Fly Me to the Moon, Book 2) Publication Date: November 12, 2016 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Kini I follow Emma Barry on Twitter and was super excited when she mentioned she was sending out ARCs. I didn’t even look it up because I have so thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series so far. Also, it should be noted that I almost never read historical. I like my romance in the present, don’t judge me. But seriously, this series by Barry and Turner is Continue Reading

Review: Earth Bound by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner

May 18, 2016 by Mandi 6 Comments

Earth Bound by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner (Fly Me to the Moon #3) Released: May 11, 2016 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I absolutely loved this book. It is very much a stand alone, although I've enjoyed all the books in this series set in the 1960's. This book gives us two, very intelligent protagonists - a hero who falls in love with a heroine for her brain (and the fact she is wild in bed) and science. I love it. Charlie is an extremely smart woman who Continue Reading

Review: A Midnight Clear by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner

December 10, 2015 by Mandi 1 Comment

A Midnight Clear by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner Historical Romance Novella Released: November 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This is just the cutest novella.

Her mother passed away when she was fifteen, and Francis really had to step up to the plate. With her father away at war, her teenage self had to care for her very sick mother.

Review: Star Dust by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner

October 14, 2015 by Mandi 2 Comments

Star Dust by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner Historical Romance (1960's) Released: October 14, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi When Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner submitted this for review, I was so happy. The premise - a 1960's romance starring an astronaut hero who falls for his newly divorced neighbor? Sign me up! Anne-Marie Smith is newly divorced, and can feel the stares and judgment all around her. But she will take all that snobbery for not having to spend another Continue Reading

Review: Party Lines by Emma Barry

January 13, 2015 by Mandi 5 Comments

Party Lines by Emma Barry (The Easy Part #3) Released: January 12, 2015 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi My first "A" read of 2015 comes early and strong. This is the third book in Emma Barry's political series (all stand alones)  and I enjoyed the first two. I fully expected to enjoy this book as well, but was surprised by how much I loved this one. I didn't want to put it down or miss a detail of the both the romance and the campaign. Emma Barry writes romances centered Continue Reading

Review: Private Politics by Emma Barry

September 18, 2014 by Mandi 3 Comments

Private Politics by Emma Barry (The Easy Part #2) Released: September 8, 2014 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read and enjoyed Special Interests by Emma Barry and was excited to see she had another book coming out revolving around DC politics. Now, before you scrunch your nose and tell me you don't want to read about our lovely government, let me tell you - Emma Barry makes it very interesting. Where we could get bogged down in dry terminology and boring Continue Reading

Review: Special Interests by Emma Barry

April 10, 2014 by Mandi 5 Comments

Special Interests by Emma Barry Released: April 7, 2014 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You're so damn adorable, Millie Frank, I can't believe I've kept my hands off you this entire meal," he said, reaching over the table and pulling her hand towards him. I have so many good things to say about this book that I don't even know where to start. Millie Frank works for the construction worker's union in Washington, D.C. She is pretty passionate about Continue Reading
