Review: Compromised by Kate Noble

by Keira 08.28.2011

One word: charming. Two words: engaging hilarity. Three words: sparkling/sparking chemistry. Most decidedly, Compromised, is a great way to kick off your summer reading. Kate Noble engages readers with narrative that is tongue-in-cheek. Part of the narrative reads third person omniscient and part is third person lead-centric as we are use to in romance. It [...]

Review: Desert and Destiny by Isabel Roman

by Susan S. 06.27.2011

by Susan S., guest reviewer Roman nocked her arrow, drew back an imaginative bow, took aim, released her words, and hit bull’s eye dead-center! Desert and Destiny stands alone, and is book three from The Dark Desires of the Druids Series. Get ready to save a camel and ride a magicker. Yes, I did say [...]

Review: Faro’s Daughter by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 06.22.2011

Faro’s Daughter by Geogette Heyer is an excellent read, but fairly short. The whole story gets told in 285 pages. This is one of the first novels of hers that I’ve read that has a lot of lead interaction. In fact they’re nearly at each others throats in every other scene. It makes for a [...]

Review: Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark by Donna Lea Simpson

by Keira 06.20.2011

I have a funny story with this book and by story I mean an epic fail. I was returning some books back to the library and somehow Lady Anne sneaked back with them. When I realized what I’d done it was as if I’d been amputated! So painful. Of course I returned the books on [...]

Review: His at Night by Sherry Thomas

by Keira 06.16.2011

Tired of spy lords in Regencies? If you said yes, make an exception for His at Night, because it’s not tired. It’s very much awake and zesty. Sherry Thomas has taken this subgenre of Regencies and gave it a fabulous new life… by making the Marquess a blithering idiot. Oh I see your incredulous expression, [...]

Review: Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase

by Keira 05.28.2011

Lord of Scoundrels opens in the hero’s youth. We learn very quickly that life was not pleasant to Sebastian. His mother left him with his father while she ran off with another man (a scandal if I ever heard of one!) He was bullied, tortured, and ridiculed constantly at school. He was rejected because of [...]

Review: The Dark Desires of the Druids 1: Murder and Magick by Isabel Roman

by Keira 05.21.2011

Mmm-mmm delicious. I love the plot to this novel, which looks like it will drive the second in the series. I also love the romantic conflict- it’s simply too yummy. Roman certainly has a way with storytelling, twisting and weaving different threads into one cohesive whole. I listened to the audio version of this book [...]
