REVIEW: All He Wants | All He Needs by C. C. Gibbs

JaneC+ ReviewsCliffhanger / Contemporary romance / Fifty Shades8 Comments

Dear Ms. Gibbs: The All or Nothing trilogy (or in the UK Knight trilogy) is a series of erotic romance stories that feature the same couple–Katherine Hart and Dominic Knight.  Both stories end with some cliffhanger although the first is “worse” than the second. I’m reviewing the stories together but ... more >

JaneD ReviewsBooks-on-War / Erotic-Romance / kensington / Susan-Johnson12 Comments

Dear Ms. Johnson: I’ve re-read some of your backlist titles so many times, the cover fell off the paperback copies. I think you were writing erotic romance before erotic romance was even a commonly used term. What I loved most was the lush beauty of the writing that some might ... more >

REVIEW: Forbidden by Susan Johnson

JaneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book Reviews18th-century / Erotic-Romance / lawyer / law related / My Favorite Things-2006 / Susan-Johnson18 Comments

Dear Ms. Johnson: Long before there was Jaid Black and Ellora’s Cave. Long before the rise of erotic romance and the publication of lines like Aphrodisia, Spice, and Avon Red, there were authors like you who wrote historically rich, emotionally deep and impossibly erotic romances. There are three of your ... more >
