Review: Maximum Witch by Jodi Redford

by Susan S. 12.27.2011

Reviewed by Susan S. Summary: Book Three in That Old Black Magic Series Maxwell Truitt (hero) is a shark-shifting sheriff. And for reasons unbeknownst to me, I want to sing that to the tune of Bob Marley’s song, I Shot the Sheriff. All right, let’s move on. Max is patrolling the Atlantic one night when [...]

Review: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas

by Keira 09.19.2011

Let me start off by saying Derek is one hot hero, he’s like number 11 on my top ten heroes list, just a hairsbreadth from being there. Derek Craven is a self-made man. He’s wealthier than most of the gentry, but he is not one. Born in the slums of London to a prostitute and [...]

Review: Love and Scandal by Donna Lea Simpson

by Keira 07.09.2011

A lady in Victorian times had little options when it came to acceptable jobs. Writing novels was simply not one of them and certainly not publishing them. That’s why Collette Jardiniere hides her authorship of The Last Days of a Rake behind the pseudonym Collin Jenkins. That is until some trumped-up peacock of a rake [...]

by Keira 03.25.2011

Old School romance daydreams + embarrassing contemporary situations * 2 potential heroes = exponential fun. Inara Lavey writes loving parodies of old school romance for Cassandra to daydream. Of course our plucky heroine (who is the very definition of spitfire) gets caught out time and again. She lands in some very funny situations as she [...]

Review: Too Sinful to Deny by Erica Ridley

by Susan S. 03.04.2011

by Susan S., guest reviewer There are three things guaranteed to bring me pleasure: vanilla-flavored coffees, Godiva, and a great read. This was a great read! Background: Miss Susan Stanton made her debut as a secondary character in Too Wicked To Kiss; where she befriends Evangeline, the heroine from book one. The sequel stands alone, [...]

Review: Love is Blind by Lynsay Sands

by Keira 02.19.2011

I just finished rereading Love Is Blind by Lynsay Sands today. It combines two of my favorite things to read in a romance novel. The hero is scarred and she is practically blind. Plus the sex is steamy. What more could one want? Adrian Montfort, Earl of Mowbray, was scarred in battle against Napoleon. Raw [...]
