REVIEW: Beyond the Dark by Angela Knight, Emma Holly, Lora Leigh, Diane Whiteside

By Jane • Dec 5th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, C Reviews, C Reviews Category, C- Reviews, D Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ladies:
The anthologies in this collection had one thing in common - they all had a paranormal or mythical backdrop. While most of these authors are associated with super erotic fare, I found the sensuality to be mixed as well as the quality. Emma Holly’s is the top dog, her writing [...]



REVIEW: Forbidden Pleasures by Lora Leigh

By Jane • Jun 9th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews

Dear Ms. Leigh:
My good friend called me up and said that she wanted me to read your latest release, Forbidden Pleasure. I asked her when the last time it was when she read my blog and she replied that she knew that your writing hadn’t worked well for me in the past, but that [...]



REVIEW: Dangerous Games by Lora Leigh

By Jane • Feb 20th, 2007 • Category: C Reviews, C Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Ms. Leigh:
My friends love you. Generally, I love things my friends love. Unfortunately, the categorical syllogism ends there. While this story features a stronger, more emotionally secure heroine than I have seen in previous Leigh books, the implausability of the plot and the tiresome machinations of the hero left me deflated.
Morganna [...]

REVIEW: Kiss of Heat by Lora Leigh

By Jaili • May 23rd, 2006 • Category: C+ Reviews, Ebooks, Reviews

From the desk of guest reviewer, Jaili.
Dear Ms. Leigh,
When I saw that Kiss of Heat is Book 3 in Feline Breeds series, I assumed that it would be a standalone, anyway, just enough for me to get into the story easily. I mean, how hard could it be to catch up? Pretty easy, I’d say, [...]



REVIEW: Loving Lies by Lora Leigh

By Jane • Apr 16th, 2006 • Category: Ebooks, F Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Leigh:

I know that we have been harshing on you here and I thought maybe we haven’t given you a fair shake. Just because I was totally icked out by your erotica version of the 7 Brides for 7 Brothers concept (where instead of singing and dancing in the snow, the brothers are [...]

Dear Ms Leigh,
Thanks to a friend, I got to read your ebook all about twin wizards, princess consort of same, a dragon (thank God he’s not in on the sex part) and magick. Not magic, mind you, but magick. Blue green magick that erupts whenever the twin wizards and their princess consort get nekkid and [...]
