REVIEW: Ties that Tether by Jane Igharo

JanineBook Reviews / C- ReviewsAdvertising / Contemporary / family drama / interracial marriage / mothers and daughters / Nigeria / POC / POC author / pregnancy / Toronto2 Comments

Dear Jane Igharo, It was the premise (and the pretty cover) caused me to request an ARC of your debut novel, Ties that Tether, a contemporary romance.

REVIEW: The Cowboy’s Christmas Seduction by Genevieve Turner

JayneB ReviewsAmerican historical / Christmas / Historical / holiday novella / pregnancy3 Comments

Catarina Merrill has had quite a year—with the shotgun marriage and the baby on the way—but she certainly never expected to desire her husband as much as she does. Dreaming up naughty, sensual things she’d like to try with him is easy, but actually telling him about her fantasies is ... more >

REVIEW: Reward of Three by Kelly Jamieson

KaetrinC- Reviewsbaby / Contemporary / Erotic-Romance / menage / pregnancy17 Comments

Dear Ms. Jamieson, There’s just no way I can talk about this novella without giving away things which might be regarded as spoilers.  So, be ye warned all who read what follows. I admit to a weakness for m/m/f menage stories and I think Rule of Three was among the ... more >
