Reviewed by Cara Lynn This book was long on sex, maybe short on story. I finished it a while back and can’t say I particularly liked it. I felt more neutral, so I put off writing a review. I read the PDF provided by LRP on my iPad. What I liked: I liked the colored [...]

by Cara Lynn, guest reviewer I loved, loved, loved this book, from beginning to end. I would give it 7 Stars out of 5 Stars except for a couple of things, which brings the book back to a 5 Stars in my opinion. The cover is hot. Very. And so is the book, make no [...]

Reviewer Side Note: Romantic suspense is not something I usually read because it’s hard for me to read things geniunely scary. Vampires? No problem. I don’t expect to ever run into one in a dark ally. Crazy wackos? Greedy and powerful bad guys? They’re a little more likely. The Story: A small group of U.N. [...]

This is an old Harlequin Presents novel that was given to me by a friend’s mom. It’s pretty decent, but nothing exceptional. The basic premise that keeps the story going is obscurity, the constant questioning of motives. Not a big misunderstanding but just general ignorance – especially on the heroine’s part. She can’t make out [...]

The main plot line for Marrying King’s Millions is marriage of convenience, which winds up not being so very convenient. I found Travis King’s reasons for marrying a little strange, and stranger still to find out his brother did it and wound up finding his soul mate and having a little HEA. Seems way too [...]

I liked the other Violet Winspear so much that I picked this one up without a moment’s hesitation. The story revolves around the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone. The hero is Don Diablo and the heroine is Persepha. A perfectly convenient match, but a delightful one nevertheless. However that’s about the last good thing [...]
