The Allure of Amnesia

Amnesia. It’s not something most people deal with in everyday life, but the loss of memory is a beloved storyline in romance novels. I can understand the popularity. Think of the angst, the challenges, and the ever-present intrigue in an amnesia story!
Imagine waking up with partial memory loss and having to depend on the gorgeous [...]

Love around the world

Moon Craving

If you know anything about romance books, you know of Lucy Monroe. Lucy and I have been in a couple of Brava anthologies together, and I’ve mentioned a few of her Harlequin Presents on this blog. She’s a sweetie, so if you ever see her at a reader conference, just sit by her and she’ll [...]

A Very NASCAR Holiday by Nancy Warren, Debra Webb and Gina Wilkins

I bought this book because it’s about Christmas and it’s about NASCAR. I’ve read plenty of Christmas stories, but I don’t know anything about NASCAR. This book was a gentle introduction to the NASCAR world for me.  A Very NASCAR Holiday is more of a Christmas romance anthology than a sports one and the novellas [...]

Hot for the Holidays

I’ve never read an erotic paranormal Christmas anthology, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Hot for the Holidays is very spicy and filled with different worlds created by Lora Leigh, Angela Knight, Anya Bast and Allyson James. There’s something for every paranormal romance reader: shape shifters, vampires, magick and genetically altered humans. I wouldn’t recommend [...]

To All a Good Night

If the holiday season is already stressing you out, you should pick up Too All a Good Night. This anthology has three Christmas novellas by Donna Kauffman, Jill Shalvis, and HelenKay Dimon. The stories are fun thanks mostly to the sexy banter and wonderful characters. This is a fun and festive book, so do yourself a [...]
