REVIEW: Ex Equals by L.A. Witt

Jane’s Note: We are posting this review in celebration of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal that is occurring today. We’ll have a lovely post by Maili listing romances featuring deaf characters on Thursday. Dear Ms. Witt. I like your books. Your writing’s solid, the characters are great, the sex is usually hot. So I(…)

REVIEW: Sea Change by Darlene Marshall

REVIEW: Sea Change by Darlene Marshall

Dear Ms. Marshall, Hello down there in hot, steamy Florida. Lots of authors might choose various contemporary locations in that state for their books but I love that you’ve staked out early 19th century Florida and sea captains, privateers and pirates for yours. Then you smooth on a layer of Yanks vs the Brits to(…)

REVIEW: Between Sinners and Saints by Marie Sexton

REVIEW: Between Sinners and Saints by Marie Sexton

Dear Ms. Sexton. I’ve enjoyed your writing before, but it was Kaetrin’s review of this one that made me pull it out of Mt. TBR. I was interested in the concept and knew I could trust your writing. I’m glad I did, even if it wasn’t what I expected. Levi Binder works in a gay(…)

REVIEW: Autumn Falling by Debra Tash

REVIEW: Autumn Falling by Debra Tash

Dear Ms. Tash, After reading and enjoying “Challenge the Wind,” I was excited when you offered your latest book, “Autumn Falling” for review. I wanted to see how you’d handle a contemporary setting and a first person POV from a slightly older heroine. And to find a contemporary using a small town in Vermont as(…)

REVIEW: The Bride and the Buccaneer by Darlene Marshall

REVIEW: The Bride and the Buccaneer by Darlene Marshall

Dear Mrs. Marshall, I’ve been waiting a long time for your next book but hot damn if you haven’t come through like a champ. We’ve got pirates, um – I mean privateers, pirate treasure, hot sexing, early Florida, lots of insects and a great match up of hero and heroine. Yep, well worth the wait.(…)

REVIEW: Friendly Fire by Megan Hart

REVIEW: Friendly Fire by Megan Hart

Dear Ms Hart, I was checking my ebook reader to see what books were on it and came across this one. I’m embarrassed to say how long it’s been sitting there, patiently waiting to be read so I won’t. But I found once I got started reading it, the pages just clicked along. I’m not(…)

REVIEW: Pot of Gold by Megan Hart

Dear Mrs Hart, I’m finally getting back to Pot of Gold, your first story about Captain Robin Steele and his love, Nora as they search for a hidden leprechaun fortune beneath a Caribbean island. I like it just as much as the sequel, Emerald Isle. It’s fast and humorous and since it’s a fantasy, I(…)

REVIEW:  Shiver M’ Timbers (Amberpax Collection) by Jordan, Hart, Willows, Bridger and Lamont

REVIEW: Shiver M’ Timbers (Amberpax Collection) by Jordan, Hart, Willows, Bridger and Lamont

Dear. Ms. Jordan, While “The Legend of Black Robert Flynn” isn’t awful, neither is it any better than just average. It starts well with young, innocent friends then fast forwards to the heroine running away from an abusive marriage straight into the hands of the now pirate hero who saves her after she’s nearly raped(…)
