Review: Three Weddings and a Murder Anthology
Three Weddings and a Murder by Tessa Dare, Leigh Lavalle, Courtney Milan, and Carey Baldwin May 2012 Historical/Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by May So often anthologies feel like promotions for the authors other books, or just a teaser to get you interested in a current series.

The profits from this collection go to a great Continue Reading

Once Upon a Winter’s Eve by Tessa Dare Historical Romance Novella November 15, 2011 Samhain Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: “I, Violet Mary, take you, Christian James.” She touched his cheek. “To be my husband. To have, to hold. To love and honor. All that sickness-health, richer-poorer business too.

That bidder was Maya Banks, and Tessa Dare has just released the trailer for Maya Banks upcoming Highlander Trilogy. And in true Tessa Dare fashion, it is Continue Reading
