What Willaful’s Been Reading and Listening To, Winter 2015

WillafulBook Reviewsaudiobooks / Reading lists2 Comments

This is a selected list rather than my entire reading; if I included every Harlequin Presents I read over the last few months, it’d look like I’m on the take.   A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong by Cecilia Grant Janine wrote a lovely review of this; I don’t have much ... more >

REVIEW: Wolf With Benefits by Shelly Laurentson

JaneBook Reviews / D ReviewsComedy / POC author / Shifters16 Comments

Dear Shelley Laurentson: Dear Ms. Laurentson: Your trademark humor and lively set up was evident in this story but the overwhelming cast of characters and slow development made this book a chore for me to read.

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / EbooksPOC author / Shelly-Laurenston1 Comments

Dear Ms. Laurentson: The Hunting features everything I like about your writing and everything I don’t like. Your heroine is strong. Your langauge, while coarse, is fitting for the setting. The hero is hot. What I don’t like is that your book is all crescendo and no diminuendo. Even in ... more >

REVIEW: CB: Pack Challenge by Shelly Laurentson

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / EbooksContest-Book / POC author / Samhain-publishing / shapeshifters1 Comments

Dear Ms. Laurentson: I read Pack Challenge twice before writing this review. First time I read it, I find it fresh and enjoyable. You have a very modern vibe about your books.
