REVIEW: No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole

Limecello's review of No Rest for the Wicked (Immortals After Dark, Book 2) by Kresley Cole
Paranormal Romance released by Pocket Star Books 31 Oct 06

This is the second book of the Immortals After Dark series, and I enjoyed it. After reading the first, I was wondering how Ms. Cole would go from vampires being the ultimate enemy, to making one her hero. It works.

Review: Strike Zone by Kate Angell

Lawson's review of Strike Zone by Kate Angell
Contemporary romances released by Love Spell 1 April 2008

This is the third in a series about the players of the fictional Richmond Rogues baseball team. It follows the stories of two sisters who fall for two Rogues pitchers. One of the things I've seen in other reviews is a criticism of the baseball in the books of this series. How accurate is it? I really can't say, I don't know that much about baseball. I like the sport, but I don't know much about it really. The baseball in the book, though, does give a good feeling for the sport and it at least made me ready for summer time and watching baseball. In a general sense. Read the story »

REVIEW: Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks

Shannon C.'s review of Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks
Western romance published by Harlequin Historicals 1 Jul 07

I really like westerns. Admittedly, I've not read many books in the genre, but I count LaVyrle Spencer's The Endearment as one of the best romances I read when I first found the genre. For me, the appeal of the western romance is that it involves characters who have to be strong and tough and show what they're made of. It is, in fact, the dirt that I love when it comes to westerns.

Review: Dark Needs at Night’s Edge by Kresley Cole

Devon's review of Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole
Paranormal Romance published by Pocket Books 29 Apr 08

I wasn't going to read this book, to be honest. I had read A Hunger Like No Other and enjoyed it, and No Rest for the Wicked and thought it pretty good. But I had never quite gotten around to Wicked Deeds on a Winters Night. And I'm not a big fan of ghost love stories. No body means no sex, no hugs, no kisses. How's an author going to make that HEA work? I tend to view them with deep suspicion. But this book was getting good buzz (see Gwen's review), and it had a crazy hero. I love a tormented hero. Tormented to the point of crazy sounds good. (Let's not think too deep on what that says about me). So I decided to try it. Good thing for me, because this is my favorite read of the year so far.

Review: Scions: Insurrection by Patrice Michelle

Devon's review of Scions: Insurrection by Patrice Michelle
Paranormal Romance released by Silhouette Nocturne 1 May 08

Insurrection continues the story of three paranormal races spawned from a government experiment, enemies who are bound together by a prophecy. This sequel to Scions: Resurrection focuses on the Lupreda, or werewolves, who were created by vampires to be their prey. Like the first in the trilogy, this was a fast paced, action packed read, I but enjoyed it even more.
