By Her Touch (Blank Canvas Book 2) by Adriana Anders- I featured the first book in the series yesterday, but noticed books 2 and 3 are also on sale. "Anders has created wonderful variations on the beauty and the beast theme and the damsel-in-distress trope, a greatly tormented hero, and a powerful mix of menace and romance." —Booklist Second in an exciting contemporary romance series, Undercover cop Clay Navarro moved to a small town to rid himself of the last reminders of his past, but Continue Reading

Q&A with Rebecca Yarros
Rebecca's latest release The Last Letter was released on 2/26/19. I will have a review of it later this week. Hi! Thank you so much for having me! How’d you start reading romance? RY: My Aunt Hope introduced me to romance when I was a teenager, and I was hooked. Her house was crammed full of romance novels, and she was always up for letting me borrow them. I’d leave with a dozen books, binge-reading authors like Jude Deveraux, Catherine Coulter, Christine Feehan and Julie Garwood Continue Reading

Guest Author Mary Calmes and The Allure of the Alpha
The Allure of the Alpha Do you love alphas or hate them? Are they a turn on or trigger? Do big strong domineering, demonstrative men give you hives or make you hot? Either way, everyone has a visceral reaction to them. Since I lose my mind over sexy Scottish lairds, I’m firmly in the “loving alpha men” category. But the book ones, right? An alpha man in real life I’d probably have killed. There’s a bit of independence I’d have to give up that I doubt I could. But they’re really fun to Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday
Smexy Books is going old skool this Sunday with a flashback to one of my favorite books-The Secret by Julie Garwood. Sometimes the "smexy-est" aspect of a book for me is the build up to the romance. The time the couple spends getting to know one another and dealing with their developing feelings. Add in humor and a cast of well devloped characters and I'm a goner I have been a fan of Garwood's stories for years and frequently re read her historicals when I need some good old Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
I'm a huge fan of Julie Garwood and her historical romances. They have provided me with hours of entertainment through out the years. One of my favorite books of hers is The Wedding-#2 in her Laird's Fiancees series. While I adore a good smex scene, sometimes the best parts are either the events leading up to the scene or what happens afterwards...especially when your dealing with an quirky lovable heroine and a grumpy silent hero who are unsure exactly how to deal with one another. In The Continue Reading
