REVIEW:  Undone By Moonlight by Wendy Etherington

REVIEW: Undone By Moonlight by Wendy Etherington

Dear Ms. Etherington: This story had a charming couple – Pollyanna from Texas and the hard bitten detective whose father did time but the plot of the book surrounded the mystery of how the hero, Devin Antonio, was framed for the assault of a New York citizen.

REVIEW: The Fireman Who Loved Me by Jennifer Bernard

Dear Ms. Bernard: The romance of this story was enjoyable but the sweet and sometimes serious nature of the romance was offset by over the top descriptions of the “villains” of the story creating a cacophonous tone mismatch.

This week, the print version makes its way into bookstores. I had enjoyed the previous Bulletcatcher books. Unfortunately this novel required one(…)

REVIEW: CB-The Fifth Favor by Shelby Reed

Dear Mrs Reed, Several people have recommended your work and this book in particular for our monthly contests. After reading it, I can see why. As Keishon said in her review of two of your books, the writing and characterization are stronger than most Ellora’s Cave books I’ve tried. I was most pleased about the(…)
