Reviewed by Sharon S. Now, when I first saw this title I thought “Goblin, really?” but I liked the blurb. Boy, am I glad I took a chance! This was an original and dark fairy tale. And yes, a Goblin King can be sexy <G>. More on him later… This is a paranormal romance, but [...]

by Sharon S., guest reviewer This is the second book in the Time of Transition Trilogy. The cover of this book got my attention and the blurb sealed the deal, but it wasn’t the story for me. There is nothing wrong with the story, matter of fact it has a cool premise. There is a [...]
