First thing’s first: This book is a sequel, but not to a book that called for a sequel. It’s the sequel to a book I basically liked, and has managed to ruin any fond memories I might have harbored. Jessica and Mark had a nice little adventure in Pursuit after Jessica survived a car crash […]

Book Review: Werewolf in the North Woods
I first got into Vicki Lewis Thompson through her nerd romances, and much of what I loved about those books continued here. She’s got a fun, sassy, and somewhat sexy writing style that is fun to read. In this story, Abby is in the Portland area trying to help her grandfather find proof that he […]
Book Review: The Moon WItch

Book Review: The Sun WItch
The Fyne sisters have a problem. A generations-old curse keeps them from finding lasting love — either their loves will die before the age of 30, or leave them. Knowing this, Sophie sets out to take a stranger as a lover so she can have a child without the risk of love. A year later, […]
Book Review: The Darkest Hour
Ethan believes his wife is dead. She died in a plane crash one year ago, and he buried her. Except now, a year later, someone sends him evidence that she’s not as dead as he though and is, in fact, being held captive in some South American hell hole. Ethan and his brothers, mercenaries by […]
Born to Darkness
I don’t usually see scifi and romance blended well, but this did it. We’ve got a near-future society that has decayed somewhat (although I’m not entirely sure why). There’s a bunch of superheroes called “greater thans” whose faux science involving brain integration (using more than 10% at once) does manage to be slightly more believable […]
The Restorer (Graveyard Queen #1)
Since the age of 9, Amealia has been able to see ghosts. Her father warned her never to let them know she could see them, and never to get involved with someone who was haunted. She’s about to break those rules. A body is found in one of the graveyards she’s restoring. A bit fresh, […]
A Lady and Her Magic
This story caught my attention twice: First, by its description, which promised a blend of fantasy and regency romance (two of my favorites) and second, by the very first line: “If the Duke of Robinsworth had known it would be so difficult to raise a daughter alone, he never would have killed his wife.” Intriguing! […]
One Perfect Rose
Intense. But in a good way. This was an amazingly romantic story, honest and heartbreaking, and it kept me riveted from page one. Stephen, the Duke of Ashburton, has three months to live, six on the outside. After receiving the news, he fills two saddle bags with supplies and takes off alone to come to […]
