Review: Persuade Me by Juliet Archer

by Carla F. 12.04.2011

Reviewed by Carla F. Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen novel and so I grabbed this one as soon as I saw it. The appeal of the story for me is the thought that no matter how much time has passed nor how large the mistake, it can be fixed. Summary: In this adaptation Rick [...]

Review: Starlight and Promises by Cat Lindler

by Keira 05.01.2011

Starlight and Promises in short, is fantastic. It has a feel of the older romances with the exotic locations and seafaring travel, but is fresh and fun. I simply loved how the romance developed on the way to where the expedition would start. The romantic timeline is a lengthy one – their romance does not [...]

Review: Ningaloo Nights by Tracy Cooper-Posey

by Susan S. 10.10.2010

by Susan Sigler, guest reviewer Ningaloo Nights is a smooth, well-executed, hot steamy read. So hot in fact, I’d attach the following warning. Tracy’s novella may cause: Glasses to fog, an increase in blindfold sales, addictions to chocolate biscuits, a greater demand for hot Aussie men, increased sales of Ute trucks by single men, and [...]

Review: The Greek’s Virgin by Trish Morey

by Keira 10.09.2010

I would say for about ninety percent of this book I thought it was excellent. Perfect execution, I liked the characters, I was involved in the revenge trope, and things were good. The other ten percent sent me up in flames with an angry face because of the super secret reason behind the revenge trope. [...]

Review: The Desert King’s Pregnant Bride by Annie West

by Keira 10.05.2010

This book was made out of 3 parts awesome. Maggie’s mother ran off with her younger sister when Maggie was eight leaving Maggie in the care of her father. He was pretty awful and basically treated Maggie like the son he wished he had forcing Maggie to put all of her time and savings into [...]
