REVIEW:  Romancing the Holiday anthology by Helen Kay Dimon, Christi Barth, & Jaci Burton

REVIEW: Romancing the Holiday anthology by Helen Kay Dimon, Christi Barth, & Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Dimon, Ms. Barth, and Ms. Burton: Carina Press’s holiday anthologies are fast becoming autobuys for me. I was sorry there was no m/m anthology this year, but this entry in another favorite subgenre of mine, contemporary romance, made up for it. As is often the case, especially with two out of three new-to-me(…)

REVIEW:  Playing to Win by Jaci Burton

REVIEW: Playing to Win by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton, I love a good sports romance, and your Play-by-Play series has thus far delivered some truly entertaining reads. Your fourth installment, Playing to Win, focuses on Cole Riley, a wide receiver for the St. Louis Traders. Cole is a bit of a bad boy, having been released by several teams for not(…)

REVIEW: Taking a Shot by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton: I didn’t love Changing the Game  but enjoyed The Perfect Play and I was excited to read about the youngest Riley, Jenna. Jenna is the only girl of the Riley family and despite (or maybe because of) being around sports all of her life, she has sworn of all athletes. Not dating athletes is(…)

REVIEW:  Changing the Game by Jaci Burton

REVIEW: Changing the Game by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton: As you know, I really enjoyed The Perfect Play. I love football and I felt like the story captured elements of the athlete hero fairly well.  It was scorching hot and had a believable love story with a great heroine.  I knew from hints within The Perfect Play and by the included excerpt that(…)

REVIEW: The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton

REVIEW: The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton: Your book first came to my attention when you posted the cover on your blog.   I am not a huge fan of the man titty but even I, a scoffer, could not help but be impressed with the rendering on this cover.   This guy exudes hotness like a furnace at a coal(…)

According to the preface of the book, the “nice” stories are Holiday Sparks by Shannon Stacey All She Wants for Christmas by Jaci Burton and the naughty ones are Unwrapped by Megan Hart Believe by Lauren Dane Holiday Sparks by Shannon Stacey.   This was one of my December recommended reads.   Web designer Chloe Burke is(…)

REVIEW:  bound, branded, & brazen by Jaci Burton

REVIEW: bound, branded, & brazen by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton, After being inundated with shifters, weres, vampires, and all sorts of alien and/or immortal life forms, it’s nice to indulge in a Contemporary Chaser (yes, right along the lines of a Unicorn Chaser). I believe the only Jaci Burton books I have had previous exposure to have been in the Unlaced and(…)

REVIEW: Wild, Wicked & Wanton by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton: When you sent me this book to review, you said that your plan was to eventually convince me of your writing genius. I thought to myself, this is one foolish chick because previous reviews have shown that my taste and your books don’t always run in synchronicity, but your devious plan is(…)

REVIEW: Surviving Demon Island by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton: I think this is one of those books were the hook will totally captivate people or turn them off. Gina Bliss is an action star in the vein of Jackie Chan. She does all her stunts herself. Coming off of back to back action movie blockbusters, Gina agrees to do a Reality(…)

REVIEW:  Fall Fury and Holiday Bound by Jaci Burton

REVIEW: Fall Fury and Holiday Bound by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Burton: You left kind comments despite my complaining letter and I asked you for a recommendation. You gave me one and I chose to read that one and another. It was a risk on both our parts. Your risk was that I would read the book and write another complaint filled letter. My(…)

REVIEW:  Rescue Me by Jaci Burton

REVIEW: Rescue Me by Jaci Burton

Dear Ms. Barton: I really struggled with your letter. I have viewed small print publishers, particularly epublishers, in a lesser light than mainstream NY publishers. I have also wrongly felt that the small eprint publishers were all the same – churning out romantica and literotica. In writing you this letter, I felt that because you(…)
