REVIEW: Collision Course by Zoe Archer

REVIEW: Collision Course by Zoe Archer

Dear Ms. Archer, My track record with space sci-fi romance (SSFR) has been terrible of late. There are moments when I wonder why I continually punish myself with middling (at best) SSFR when there is so much incredible romance reading available out there. But I do it because I’m hunting for that perfect mix of(…)

REVIEW:  Beyond the Shadows by Jess Granger

REVIEW: Beyond the Shadows by Jess Granger

Dear Ms. Granger, Let’s face it: I love romance in space, having to do with space, or having the element of the alien (and I don’t mean Sigourney Weaver Alien).

The Pioneers of Paranormal Romance

see more Lolcats and funny pictures I was telling a friend of mine about Christine Feehan the other day. I had picked up Dark Slayer to read after a long absence.

REVIEW: The Down Home Zombie Blues by Linnea Sinclair

Dear Ms Sinclair, You really love Star Trek, don’t you? Not that I hold that against you. I love it too, including the original series (TOS) with Kirk where men were men and women were, well, sometimes they were clouds of energy that sucked the very life from you, but at some point they could(…)

REVIEW: Forest Whispers by Lyssa Hart

Dear Ms Harte, I was checking out New Concepts ebook site, looking at some of the offerings and decided to take a chance with Forest Whispers. I’m glad that I did. It’s got a strong heroine who’s always had to fight to earn her place but one who can change her stance on men when(…)
