Dear Ms. Stuart,

By Janine • Nov 14th, 2007 • Category: A Review Category, A Reviews, B Reviews Category, B- Reviews

Dear Ms. Stuart,
Black Ice is my favorite of all your books — the ones I’ve read, that is. You have a huge backlist and I have not come anywhere near reading them all, but I’ve read several of your most popular titles, including A Rose at Midnight, To Love a Dark Lord, Moonrise, Nightfall, [...]

REVIEW: CB- Chase for an Angel by Christy Poff

By Jayne • Jun 26th, 2006 • Category: DNF Reviews, Ebooks, Reviews

Dear Mrs. Poff,
I tried. I really tried to finish Chase for an Angel. But I just couldn’t. The book starts too slowly with a whole chapter of flashback. Then your style, more telling than showing, distanced me from the characters and the story. Then you separate the hero and heroine for years. The way [...]
