REVIEW: Archer by Debra Kayn

JaneF ReviewsContemporary / romantic-suspense3 Comments

Dear Ms. Kayn: Jane Beaumont fell in love with an illusion. She thought her attentive boyfriend was a catch but it turned out he was a violent, possessive heroin dealer who threatened her multiple times with dismemberment and death if she ever left him, ever ratted him out. Somehow, she ... more >

A Fallen Star by Janie Summers

REVIEW: A Fallen Star by Janie Summers

WillafulF Reviews / Featuredreprint10 Comments

Dear Ms. Summers: When it comes to retro romance there’s “charmingly dated” and then there’s “should have been left buried.” This book, originally published in 1987, is of a time and place that I really did not enjoy visiting. The story concerns Holly, a photographer still mourning the accidental death ... more >

REVIEW: Waterwitch by Juliet Dark

AmyF ReviewsParanormal17 Comments

Dear Ms. Dark: There are spoilers in here for the first book, Demon Lover. I was drawn to this in part by the cover and in part by the suggestion that fans of Elizabeth Kostova and Deborah Harkness would enjoy this. I have yet to pick up one of Harkness’s ... more >

REVIEW: All In by Raine Miller

JaneF ReviewsContemporary / Erotic-Romance / self-published21 Comments

Dear Ms. Miller: The first book in this series (that ended in a cliffhanger) was a readable, if derivative, erotic romance. All In is told from Ethan Blackstone’s POV and he comes off as a whiney, angsty preteen boy. It was about as unsexy and embarrassing story as I’ve read ... more >

REVIEW: Dmitry’s Closet by Latrivia S. Nelson

JaneF ReviewsContemporary / criminal / Interracial98 Comments

Dear Ms. Nelson: This book was recommended to me when I asked for Interracial Romance recommendations and I am bummed I can’t give it any better of a grade. Not only are there typos, grammatical errors, terrible formatting, misused words on virtually every other page*, but the story drags for ... more >

Undeniable Madeline Sheehan

REVIEW: Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan

JaneF ReviewsContemporary romance / criminal / self-published89 Comments

Warning: The following review contains profanities, graphic language, sexual situations, and rape references. Dear Madeline Sheehan: I read this book in part because of chatter on an online forum. One of the readers said it was a love child of Sons of Anarchy and Kristen Ashley. She was not wrong. ... more >
