Urban Fantasy and the Happily Ever After
The more I read, the more I can’t help but be drawn to urban fantasy titles. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my romance.

But currently, urban fantasy is the genre that is exciting me for many reasons. The books are usually darker, more violent, and a big reason it attracts me is the uncertain HEA (happily ever after). Just this week I read Unholy Ghosts and Unholy Continue Reading

Fantasy in Romance – Where do you fall?
(Barrons, I want to do naughty things to you – for real! Picture from Karen Marie Moning’s website.) Recently, Jessica at Read React Review (formally Racy Romance Reviews) posed the question – to what extent do you engage in fantasy when reading romance?

Most recently Karen Marie Moning has her characters Continue Reading
