Breakaway by Deidre Martin (New York Blades #11) Contemporary Romance February 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: Sandra glanced furtively toward the living room, then back to Erin. “I know he’s good looking and that, but I bet he’s the selfish sort who heaves himself on top of you like a great walrus. Then it’s a few pokes and he’s done, rolling off you with a burp and a fart until he falls asleep.” Two years ago Rory, living large in New York City as a hockey star Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday
Through the slits of his half-closed eyes, he watched her remove his boots before her hands slowly massaged their way back up to his waist. With agonizing leisurely strokes, she teased his body into a taut knot of need. God he wanted her mouth on him, swallowing him with that same ease she had that damn banana. He reached for the waistband of his sherwals, but her hands stilled his. “No,” she said in a throaty whisper. “Let me.” Swallowing hard, he nodded his agreement. To his amazement, she Continue Reading

Review: Stud by Cheryl Brooks
Stud by Cheryl Brooks (Cat Star Chronicles #8) Paranormal Romance February 7, 2012 Sourcebooks Reviewed by Helyce I have been a fan of Cheryl Brook’s Cat Star Chronicles since I came across a tattered copy of Slave in my local used book store.
