Review: Stealing Taffy by Susan Donovan

August 31, 2016 by May Flaum 1 Comment

Stealing Taffy by Susan Donovan (Bigler, North Carolina #3) Released: August 30, 2016 Contemporary Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by May This story opens in an airport where Tanyalee aka Taffy is coming back from some kind of rehab/therapy takes an instant lust to a man… a man who happens to be seated next to her on the plane. We’re teased with hints that she’s not altogether stable (or sane?!) but off they go on a sexual romp that weeks later neither can forget. "Excuse me." Her Continue Reading

Review: The Highlander by Kerrigan Byrne

August 4, 2016 by May Flaum Leave a Comment

The Highlander by Kerrigan Byrne (Victorian Rebels #3) Released: August 2, 2016 Historical Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by May Laird Hamish Mackenzie had wanted to craft a monster out of his son and heir. Someone like him. But monsters were mythical, the figments of superstitious imaginations and farcical stories of centuries past. Liam decided he’d be no monster. Nay, he’d do one better. He’d become a demon. This is a third in a series I’ve strongly enjoyed, but easily stands alone Continue Reading

Review: Deep Dark by Laura Griffin

May 25, 2016 by Mandi 1 Comment

Deep Dark by Laura Griffin (Tracers #10) Romantic Suspense Released: May 24, 2016 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi I'll say it again - I love this romantic suspense series by Laura Griffin. So well done. Deep Dark has a thirty-nine year old homicide detective hero and a twenty-four year old cybercrime hacker - and their chemistry is soooo good. When a girl who was just starting out in life is found horribly murdered in her home, police want to find the murderer fast. But there is no Continue Reading

Review: The Untamed Earl by Valerie Bowman

May 6, 2016 by Sheena 1 Comment

The Untamed Earl by Valerie Bowman Series: The Playful Brides, #5 Historical Romance Released: May 3, 2016 St. Martin's Paperbacks Reviewed by Sheena I am fairly certain there are not any words to accurately and sufficiently express just how much I adore this series.  I have been locked into the Playful Brides series since the absolutely remarkable first novel, The Unexpected Duchess, and I am thrilled to say that the series has not lost an ounce of its fresh, flirty and fun dynamic Continue Reading

Review: Dirty by Kylie Scott

April 21, 2016 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Dirty by Kylie Scott (Dive Bar #1) Released: April 19, 2016 Contemporary Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi Dirty is the first book in a new spin-off series from Scott's popular, Stage Dive series. I enjoyed this one. Vaughan has just come home from a long time on  the road with his band - but unfortunately for him, his band has broken up, leaving Vaughan a little lost. Short on money, he decides to head to his home town in hopes that he can sell his late parents home for some Continue Reading

Review: The SEAL’s Secret Lover by Anne Calhoun

February 9, 2016 by Mandi 1 Comment

The SEAL's Secret Lover by Anne Calhoun (Alpha Ops #1) Contemporary Romance Released: February 2, 2016 St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi I've had great success with Anne Calhoun in the past, but this book did not work for me. Rose Powell has a demanding job in a field of all men. When she finds out her brother, a former Navy SEAL decides not to accompany their grandmother and her friends to Turkey for a vacation at the last minute, Rose grudgingly fills in. She doesn't want to let her Continue Reading

Review: The Hunter by Kerrigan Byrne

February 4, 2016 by May Flaum 1 Comment

The Hunter by Kerrigan Byrne (Victorian Rebels #2) Released: February 2, 2016 Historical Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by May “I am not a wounded child to be pitied. Your tears are wasted. I am Argent. I am the most famous villain that no one has ever truly met and lived to tell about it. I’ve killed more men in the Underworld War than could fit in your precious theater. I’ve beaten men to death in cesspits for money. And what do you think I felt? Victorious? Avenged? Guilt? Continue Reading

January 12, 2016 by Tori 3 Comments

The Dirt on the Ninth Grave by Darynda Jones Series: Charley Davidson, #9 Paranormal Romance Released: January 12, 2016 St. Martin’s Press Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “I’ve loved her for centuries and I will love her until the stars burn out.” Awwww... SOB!! Fans of this series will remember that the end of book eight left us gasping in shock at its climatic and completely unexpected ending,  pretty much guaranteeing we would have to read this book. I admit I was more Continue Reading
