by Keira 08.18.2011

This post is in response to a little nugget that I read in Heather’s article at the Galaxy Express entitled Does Science Fiction Romance Need More Alpha Heroes? The specific section that caught my eye was this: In response to the My Paranormal Malaise post at Dear Author, Lisa Paitz Spindler asked: “Why is it [...]

Review: Bullet by Laurell K. Hamilton

by Keira 06.24.2011

So guess what… I actually like Richard Zeeman. I never ever thought it would be possible! I hated him on sight that first time he was introduced in the book series. He only became an angry whiny blackhole of lethal emotions and suckitude later on but in Bullet – he man’s up! He’s likeable. He [...]

Vampires vs. Werewolves: Does Size Matter?

by Keira 05.13.2011

I bet that headline caught your attention! This post started innocently enough in the comments of The Smell of a Hero. Susan said: In my world everyone’s fang obsessed (lol) I’d say werewolves would also use fangs since wolves have large canines. (No claws) he-he. I said: They do have large canines.

by Keira 12.19.2010

Ever start a series and just want to keep reading it even when parts of it make you want to abandon ship and never look back? Anita Blake is like that for me. It’s very love-hate right now when earlier it was all love-love. There have been times when I was so disappointed in how [...]

Review: Marrying for King’s Millions by Maureen Child

by Keira 12.27.2009

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 [...]

8 Things about Romance That I’m Thankful For

by Keira 11.26.2009

This is the perfect day to give thanks and without further ado here is what I am most thankful for about romance: Billionaires. Like Harlequin, I am thankful for billionaire heroes.

Review: Blood and Sex Volume 1: Michael by Angela Cameron

by Keira 04.22.2009

Victoria (Tori) reminds me of Anita Blake. Here’s why: She’s known for always wearing a gun. Not to mention she’s a police officer with connections to the vampire scene (not widely know to humans to exist). She visits vampire clubs. Tori brings her gun into the bathroom with her when she showers. Tori even resists [...]
