You’ve Got (A Cute Guy Reading Your) Mail

February 18, 2014 by MelBivDevoe 3 Comments

Lincoln O’Neill is stuck, in more ways than one.  He’s living at home with his mother, having recently finished another of his many degrees and not quite ready to strike out on his own.  He’s haunted by memories of his one true love, Sam, the girl who broke his heart in college.  He’s also feeling bound by his job.  It was supposed to be “internet security” for the local newspaper – protecting the company’s computers from hackers, for example – but instead, he sits all […]

Another Historical Romance, But a Delightful Novella

February 18, 2014 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

The Scandalous, Dissolute, No-Good Mr. Wright is a gem. A delightful Regency romance pared down to its bare bones, this quick read is a perfect of example of what a novella can be and why I love them. There are no machinations, diversions, or distractions. Tessa Dare provides a witty, bright, engaging love story focused entirely on the winning main characters. Owing to a pubescent scandal, Eliza Cade has been sentenced to wait to enter society until her older sisters are married. Hers is an […]

Another Historical Romance, But Really a Romp

February 18, 2014 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

Road trip! I first read A Week to Be Wicked about two years ago when I started devouring every historical romance I could get my hands on. It is a wonderful romp and an entertaining read. It hits on all of Tessa Dare’s best aspects as a writer: Smolder. Really, really, good smolder. Lisa Kleypas level smolder. Funny of the laugh out loud variety. Witty, too. Sincere emotion successfully balanced against the aforementioned humour. At least one hysterical turn of phrase describing a man’s specific […]

Lord of the Flies – Review #8 for AamilTheCamel

February 18, 2014 by AamilTheCamel Leave a Comment

William Golding has painted the most beautiful picture with words and the picture is more than just that. It is more than the superficial veneer of a story, it a revelation.

“Web of the Romulans”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #23

February 17, 2014 by Vangie13 Leave a Comment

by M.S. Murdock  “Jim Kirk was aware of sound.  The ship roared around him, its gentle vibration magnified by his receptivity.  It throbbed through bone and muscle, its pulse his.  He thought fleetingly of the computer’s statement he and the ship were joined, and had to admit in some ways it was right, though the joining was on a different level…more his love of an idea.”  Ok, so an epidemic is wiping out the Romulan empire.  The only cure is derived from a grain (named […]

“Triangle”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #22

February 17, 2014 by Vangie13 Leave a Comment

by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath  “She was possibly a gorgeous female. He was not certain of what species. She was humanoid, certainly.  She even looked, for all practical purposes, Human. But there was a hint of something almost feral about the tawny eyes.  The matching tawny mane seemed to grow to some natural length and shape which she merely shook back.  She wore soft boots and a coppery bodysuit which looked as if it were poured out of the living metal, cut in lines […]
