March is sparse with recommendations but save your money because April has a full slate. Historical The Temporary Wife by Mary Balogh (reissued in a 2-in-1 with A Promise of Spring, which I’m NOT recommending). Recommended by Janine and Sunita. Reviewed here. PNR Fair Game by Patricia Briggs. Recommended by Josephine, Janine, and Jane (The(…)

In alphabetical order by author’s last name: If It Ain’t Love by Tamara Allen (my review here) The Only Gold by Tamara Allen Vienna Waltz by Teresa Grant The Rifter by Ginn Hale (Janine’s and my joint review of 1-5 here; my review of 6 & 7 here) The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley (my(…)

I am not a big fan of Halloween, except for the seeing the small fry in costume, of course, but I do enjoy a zombie, ghost, or other creature-centric story around this time of year. When I saw that Josh Lanyon had just released a novella called Mummy Dearest, I couldn’t resist, and I thought(…)

Like Jane, I’ve been reading a lot of ARCs for November and December, and wow, you’re all in for some real treats. Riptide Publishing opens its door on October 30. It’s already open for pre-orders and sending out review copies. Almost all of the initial offerings so far listed are under 30K words. And honestly,(…)

My reading weeks are highly variable. Sometimes I read half a dozen (or more) novels in their entirety, sometimes I don’t make it through a single one. This was a good week. I was doing some catching up of series in preparation for new releases, as well as following up on reads that have been(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, You are so well known for your series that some readers may be less familiar with your stand-alone books. I’ve done my part to avoid this possibility, and I was delighted to see that you were releasing a new stand-alone novel. Come Unto These Yellow Sands, like last year’s Fair Game, features an academic(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, It’s no secret around here that you are one of my autobuy authors. Amazingly, however, I have not yet read every single one of your stories. Snowball in Hell was originally published in 2007; this edition is a slightly revised version. It is a standalone novel, shorter than Fair Game or the(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, When I began reading gay romance, or m/m, last year, your novels were among the first I read, and Fair Game was one of my top reads of 2010. My second-favorite fiction genre is mystery, so your books are definitely in one of my reading sweet spots. I didn't pick up the(…)

Jayne reminded me I hadn’t posted these. !!! This month has been crazy for me and I apologize profusely. The good thing is that all the books are available now. From Sarah F: Not Knowing Jack by KA Mitchell (review by Sarah F) His for the Holidays by Josh Lanyon et al. (Kindle link) The(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, My recent and much too delayed venture into m/m romance led naturally to your books, given their strong reviews and word-of-mouth and my predilection for mysteries. I have your first two Adrien English books in my ebook TBR, but when I saw that you had a stand-alone coming out from Carina, I(…)

Can you believe that it is August already? I can’t. This year has just swept by. We’ve changed up the recommends rules a little bit to accommodate digital book and category book releases. We reviewers are having a hard time keeping up with the new release dates and so we are keeping our print recommendations(…)

When I started my post yesterday, I had pretensions of including the views of m/m historical romance authors as well, and so I interviewed Alex Beecroft, Charlie Cochrane, Josh Lanyon, Erastes, Lee Rowan, and Kate Rothwell and Bonnie Dee (Kate writing as Summer Devon, and Bonnie write m/m historicals that I have very much enjoyed).(…)

Dear Josh Lanyon, As our interview with Lorelie Brown says, the Roaring Twenties/Prohibition seems to be “in” now. I know I’ve just recently got three books set in this era and I couldn’t be happier about it. When Samhain offered us your latest novella, “The Dark Farewell,” I jumped at it. But despite a good(…)

Note: It will be hard to totally avoid spoilers in this review. Dear Laura Baumbach and Josh Lanyon, Dr. Sarah read and recommended “Mexican Heat” back in February but it’s taken me this long for a spare moment to check it out. Hot action, hot love and hot loving all rolled up in one book.(…)
