REVIEW:  Captive But Forbidden by Lynne Raye Harris

REVIEW: Captive But Forbidden by Lynne Raye Harris

Dear Ms. Harris, In a recent comment thread about reading and writing multicultural characters, you talked about your latest Harlequin Presents release, which features a half-South Asian hero. I was intrigued and interested to read about someone who was neither a Maharajah nor a Bollywood star. My reaction to your story turned out to be(…)

Bulk Review:  Bullet Catchers Trilogy by Roxanne St. Claire (First You Run, Then You Hide, Now You Die)

Bulk Review: Bullet Catchers Trilogy by Roxanne St. Claire (First You Run, Then You Hide, Now You Die)

Dear Ms. St. Claire: I am a wary reader of Romantic Suspense, disappointed in either the romantic or suspense aspect of the story of too many books in the subgenre or frustrated by the amped up violence and gore that sometimes substitutes for suspense.   But when Jane gave the first book of your latest Bullet(…)

REVIEW: Wild for Him by Janelle Denison

Dear Ms. Denison: I think I read a Janelle Denison book before. Maybe in a category format? I can’t recall. Wild for Him is the seventh book in a Wilde series. The previous six books featured Wilde family members and this one starred Ben Cabrera, a friend of Joel Wilde. I did wonder why it(…)

REVIEW: Then You Hide by Roxanne St. Claire

Dear Ms. St. Claire: This is the 7th installment in the BulletCatcher series comprised of five books and two novellas. Generally, I’ve liked each one of the installations.

REVIEW: Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit by Nahoko Uehashi

[Jia's Note: The English translation was done by Cathy Hirano.] Dear Ms. Uehashi, With the increasing popularity of manga and anime in the West, it only makes sense that Japanese novels would follow. I first heard about your ten-volume Moribito (Guardian) series via various blogs discussing the anime adaptation of the first book, Guardian of(…)

REVIEW: Take Me Tonight by Roxanne St. Claire

Dear Ms. St. Claire: I availed myself of the Simon & Schuster early ebook release program and snagged the ebook version of Take Me Tonight (Bullet Catchers, No 3) a few weeks ago. This week, the print version makes its way into bookstores. I had enjoyed the previous Bulletcatcher books. Unfortunately this novel required one(…)

REVIEW: Thrill Me to Death by Roxanne St. Claire

Dear Ms. St. Claire, So I am on my way to a small town for a business trip and I have a Pocket PC full of books to read. This one made my four hour trip seem like 1 hour. And I gleefully reminded myself that I only paid $3.89 at SimonSays.com. Thrill Me to(…)

REVIEW:  Kill Me Twice by Roxanne St Claire

REVIEW: Kill Me Twice by Roxanne St Claire

Dear Ms. St. Claire, Alex Romero has a bad habit of allowing his libido interfere with his jobs. He signed on to Bullet catchers, not just for its super rich salary, but for the opportunity to guard “presidents, princes, and the head of Scotland Yard.” His boss, Lucy Sharpe, assigns him to guard the body(…)
