Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews
Earlier this week on Twitter, Kati (@KatiD) asked what one or two authors did people have that they could always count on. Like when you started their books, you knew you would end them satisfied. I thought it was an excellent question and, for me, not a very difficult one. I had four authors immediately [...]
Recently I started the Cut & Run series by Abigail Roux. It was my first foray into m/m romance. I read Lover At Last several weeks ago however there was so much going on that it didn’t feel like a true m/m. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a m/m romance but let me tell [...]
Many readers use GoodReads (16 million according to GoodReads) in one form or another; either as a social networking site or to simply to catalog and keep track of their books. When the news broke that Amazon bought GoodReads reactions ranged from mass panic and dramatic wailing to a yawn and dismissive wave of the [...]
Not too long ago I was asked to write something about my favorite UF/PNR series. That is a fairly easy answer for me and the names of the series flew off my fingertips. And then I was asked, but why? Why are they your favorite series? That got me thinking what I really like about them. I came [...]
Recently I have been totally sucked in to Shayla Black and Lexi Blake’s Masters of Ménage series. Don’t ask me why because I am fairly certain I have no logical answer. Maybe because it is a concept so foreign to me that I can’t help but read it over and over in an attempt to dissect it? [...]

Over the past two weeks I have gone on an Anne Bishop glom. I was lucky enough to be offered an ARC of the first book in her new series. Written in Red blew me away. When I mentioned how much I enjoyed it Tori from Smexybooks suggested that I try her Black Jewels trilogy. [...]
Recently I have seen a very crazy trend in my romance novels. It is not a trend I am fond of nor one that I like to read about. Cheating. It seems that every third book I pick up these days has some sort of cheating in it. Why? Isn’t cheating the antithesis of romance? I [...]
Not too long ago Sophia did a post on how people buy their books. From what I could tell most of us buy on impulse when it comes to our books. I am most definitely one of the impulse buyers. If something looks or sounds good, I will snatch it up. With Christmas coming up, I [...]
I’ve decided that we are going to have to move this Mayan calendar nonsense to next year. How does 12/21/13 sound? There are just too many things to look forward to in the new year for it all to end in a few short weeks. There are books I’ve been looking forward to for years. I [...]
