Review: The Vampire Narcise by Colleen Gleason

by Sharon S. 05.21.2011

by Sharon S., guest reviewer This is the third book in Gleason’s Regency Vampire series, but it differs dramatically from the first two. This one is much darker, more violent and emotionally wrenching than the first two. For someone like me, lover of dark UF, this was a good thing <G>. This book can be [...]

Review: Forever Vampire by Michele Hauf

by Sharon S. 05.03.2011

by Sharon S., guest reviewer I had no idea how much I would enjoy this story! Hauf’s voice is a breath of fresh air for me. I would describe this book as an enchanting dark fairy tale (with real faeries <G>). The author has built an Urban Fantasy world that is unique and vivid [...]

Review: The Mistaken Wife by Rose Melikan

by Zarabeth Golden 03.31.2011

by Zarabeth, guest reviewer This is a classic late 18th century spy romance. Neither of our leads know what the other one is up to and are constantly attempting to deceive each other when, of course, it is only together that they will triumph or, heck, get out alive. There is zero sexiness in this [...]

Review: These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 03.12.2011

These Old Shades is a mashup of several of my favorite romance plots all rolled into one story. It’s a May/December where the hero is significantly older than the heroine. It’s also a Guardian/Ward pairing as well as Employer/Employee. The heroine even goes half the novel cross-dressing, though the hero is aware of this fact. [...]

I can picture the whole novel as a movie [...]
