JaneReading ListsJill-Shalvis / Michelle-Reid / Nalini-Singh / Nicola Marsh / Reading lists / Sarah Morgan12 Comments

Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh. This is a December release. It’s a full fledged fairy tale with an ugly heroine (described as having a hook nose, walks with a limp, and a misshapen body) and a somewhat virginal hero. He’s been Lord of the Abyss for as long ... more >

GUEST REVIEW: Harlequin Treasury Marriage on the Rebound by Michelle Reid

Guest ReviewerC ReviewsHarlequin / Harlequin Presents / Harlequin Treasury / marriage-of-convenience / Michelle-Reid7 Comments

Saturday Shorties: Faked Deaths, Amnesia and Fertility Clinics

JaneB- Reviews / C Reviewsamnesia / Doctor / helenkay-dimon / infertility / Michelle-Reid / nurse / romantic-suspense / Secret-Baby7 Comments

Under the Gun by HelenKay Dimon I’ve never been a huge fan of the Intrigue line because I felt that even full length romantic suspense books struggled to fit both romance and suspense in one story, how could a compressed format do both topics justice? Under the Gun had a ... more >
