About DA_January

January likes a little bit of everything. She's partial to unique paranormals, erotic romances, contemporary, and YA. She has a fondness for novellas and trying self-published works, though more of those are misses than hits. She still refuses to read anything that smells like literary fiction. January also changes this bio on a regular basis depending on her reading mood.

REVIEW: Wallbanger by Alice Clayton

Dear Ms. Clayton: When I don’t know what to read next, I admit that I prowl the Amazon bestseller lists in the hopes of seeing something that will catch my attention.

REVIEW: In the Band by Jean Haus

DA_JanuaryB+ Reviewscollege / divorce / New Adult / rock band / self-published1 Comments

Dear Jean Haus: I purchased this book sight unseen during an after Christmas sale on Amazon. It had quite a few positive reviews and something most band romances seem to neglect: a female actually in the band instead of just sleeping with someone in the band. At the sale price, ... more >

Dear Ms. Andre, Though I haven’t been the most effusive in reviews of your books in the past, I admit that you are one of my go-to authors. Your books are easy, sexy reads and almost always seem to hit the right spot. There’s a certain suspension of belief required ... more >

REVIEW: On the Island by Tracy Garvis-Graves

Dear Ms. Garvis-Graves, I picked up your book because it is everywhere lately. The concept of the teen boy-older woman romance is pretty repellant to me, but over 700 positive reviews on Amazon for a self-published book told me I should give this one a try. I read it, and ... more >

REVIEW: One Night to Remember by Kristin Miller

DA_JanuaryC- Reviewsmistorical / self-published9 Comments

Dear Ms. Miller, You can’t seem to go anywhere lately without hearing about the Titanic. It’s been on TV all weekend and commercials for the 3D movie seem to play every 10 minutes. It must have worked for me, because I went looking for Titanic books online and settled upon ... more >
