Review: Mine – Stacey Kennedy

Review: Mine – Stacey Kennedy

Mine is the seventh story in the Club Sin series, and this might be one of the reasons why I didn’t enjoy it all that much – not having read the other books in the series. However, I also found Presley to be very insecure and quite naïve, and Dmitri didn’t really seem all that dominant to me. My Mine review: I do kind of wish I had read the other Club Sin novels before I got to Mine, but at the same time, I really wanted to read this! A short, sexy romp was what I was looking for, and I didn’t really get that, though. There is a lot going on in Mine, and very little of it […]

Review: Rock Chick Rescue – Kristen Ashley

Review: Rock Chick Rescue – Kristen Ashley

While Rock Chick Rescue had a lot of fun and hotness going on, I had trouble connecting with Jet, and found Eddie to be slightly stalkerish in his way to approach her. My Rock Chick Rescue review: Jet is one of those women who ‘has no idea’ how beautiful she is, and while I can believe that this can happen, with Jet, this is taken to the extreme, she can’t fathom why Eddie would ever be interested in her. Eddie is a very hot cop, and part of Nightingale’s friends. While he seemed like a great guy for a while, I found him to be so pushy in cases I would probably have called the cops on him! When Jet […]

Review: Base Instincts – Larissa Ione

Review: Base Instincts – Larissa Ione

In Base Instincts, love proved to be stronger than species, laws of nature, evil demons and soul-stealing scum! My Base Instincts review: It is always a treat to enter Ione’s Demonica world, and the fact that Base Instincts finally explored some of the different sexual preferences of the characters, even those male demons who actually need sex with a female in order to survive, made it even better! When a story manages to have the characters push the boundaries of the universe in which they evolve, that story has the ability to also help readers think about things in a different way in my opinion. Getting to know Slake and Raze and see what Fayle meant to their possible relationship […]

Review: Wicked Edge – Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Wicked Edge – Rebecca Zanetti

Wicked Edge had one of the most kick-ass heroines I have ever had the pleasure of encountering! Felicity was made of steel, capable, intelligent and very strong in a fight! And of course, I enjoyed her verbal sparring with Daire as well. My Wicked Edge review: CeeCee seemed like an innocent, sweet young woman at the beginning of Wicked Edge, and Daire definitely agreed with me. Until he ended up flat on his back in his own apartment, drugged, and left behind. CeeCee also managed to keep everyone on their toes, because she was a very good planner, could hold her own in a fight, and had a grudge that wouldn’t disappear. Of course, Daire couldn’t let it stand that […]

Review: Friction – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Friction – Sawyer Bennett

Who knew legal-talk could be so hot? Friction has a lot of depth, characters I really enjoyed, and a case that made my heart lurch for the plaintiff. My Friction review: I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked up Friction, apart from the fact that I usually love Ms. Bennett’s writing, and thought I’d enjoy this story of hers as well. And I sure did enjoy it! It’s a fast-paced story, with a female lead who knows what she wants, and who is definitely willing to do what it takes to get that. Leary was both very smart and in touch with her feminine side. Using her sex appeal to further her clients’ agenda did not bother […]

Review: The Japanese Lover – Isabel Allende

Review: The Japanese Lover – Isabel Allende

The Japanese Lover is a deep, poetic story, where lives are intertwined and influence each other. Spanning over several decades, the story delves into characters secret lives, and show that love is indeed very strong. My The Japanese Lover review: The Japanese Lover follows Alma Belasco’s life, from she was a little girl and until she was an old woman in her eighties, and she tells her story to one of the carers, Irina Bazili. These two women, who seem to have nothing at all in common shared their days at Lark House Nursing Home, and Alma soon decided to pay Irina to be her assistant, so she could share documents from her past with her grand-son, Seth. Filled with […]

Review: Walk Through Fire – Kristen Ashley

Review: Walk Through Fire – Kristen Ashley

Walk Through Fire is yet another huge win from Kristen Ashley! The characters, as always, were amazing, and I loved that the main characters were in the forties, still hot for each other, and so open with their feelings. There were some pretty dark times for them, but lots of light and love as well. My Walk Through Fire review: First of all, let me tell you Kristen Ashley certainly knows how to write the smoking hot sexy scenes! I melted when I was reading about Logan and Millie getting it on, in every way! From the little touches, the looks, the beautiful words Logan said to his old lady, and how explosive they were together. The characters completely made […]

Review: A Winter Wedding – Brenda Novak

Review: A Winter Wedding – Brenda Novak

A Winter Wedding is a sweet and intense romance, in which Kyle gets a new chance at love, even if his ex is dong her best to stop him from moving his life forward. My A Winter Wedding review: I was so happy to get Kyle’s story at last! He had been through so much heartache, and he really deserved to catch a break. A Winter Wedding is his story, and Lourdes was definitely a worthy romantic interest for him. While their romance was really moving forward fast, it made sense to me, because they were thrown together during a time that was a bit difficult for both of them – and because they didn’t know each other they opened […]

Review: The Queen – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Queen – Tiffany Reisz

The Queen definitely does tie up loose ends, and it also shows the spectacular talent Ms. Reisz has with words… Everything Kingsley, Nora and Søren went through was worth it – because through all the heartache and pain, the found themselves, and each other, again. My The Queen review: While I am very sorry the Original Sinners series is over now, what a way to go! The Queen continues just after the end of The Virgin, however, most of the story folds out as a story Nora tells Søren, with only glimpses to the present. As always, Ms. Reisz’s storytelling is far above par, it’s always amazing to me how involved I have become in these characters, and how connected […]

Audio Review: Archangel’s Enigma – Nalini Singh

Audio Review: Archangel’s Enigma – Nalini Singh

Archangel’s Enigma features one of Raphael’s most enigmatic people, Naasir has been a mystery to me since he first showed up, and it was a delight to get to know him better! My Archangel’s Enigma review: Naasir has a very specific quest in Archangel’s Enigma, he is to get Andromena at the refuge, because the young scholar may be the only one who can help him find a sleeping ancient, one Raphael and his allies need in order to counteract the archangel who tried to start a war by attacking New York a little while ago. Naasir is a very complex character, it’s unknown what species he is, exactly, but he is ever loyal to Raphael and the others who […]
