This friends, is why you review books right away. Because I don’t really remember a darn thing about this audio book I finished it last Monday. You see, I’ve been packing, and moving, and generally trying to survive work. While not the best time to try to read and review, let’s see if I can’t give this book a fair shake. Overall impressions: it was good. I cranked up the audio speed though because the narrator was a bit laconic in her delivery, but her […]
Star Dust Is Golden
Buy Star Dust and read it. Heck, it’s free on Amazon right now. Genevieve Turner and Emma Barry have written a solid romance with great period detail and poignant moments that go with and beyond the love story Star Dust tells. The first of the Fly Me to the Moon series, each of the historical romances in the group feature an astronaut. It looks like they jump around in decades, so there are lots of period elements – the heroine os Star Dust smokes! – […]

You want something different in a romance? Here you go!
This is not an easy romance. Both the hero and heroine are rather unlikeable, almost to the point where you don’t believe they deserve a happy ending. And yet, this book was really, really good. It’s a hard book to recommend, but if anything about this review appeals to you, then you should definitely give it a try. It is the fourth and final book in the No Better Angels series, and while the hero has appeared in every other book of the series I […]
Paranormal Romance for Those Who Enjoy Such Things
This review required a little research from me on the genre distinction between paranormal and fantasy, so I could resolve that Widdershins is the former. The first in a series, which takes its name from the main characters, this paranormal romance features a couple interacting with occult forces and things that go bump in the night. I would recommend Widdershins, even though it was not my cup of tea. It was fun, but I like significantly less violence and prefer a dearth of imaginary creatures […]
An old favorite is still great on another read through
I have read this book several times before, but I’ve never reviewed it, so here we are! The other day I was going to ask the lovely CBR romance ladies for a recommendation. I wanted a historical with a house party, good banter, not too many outside plot distractions…and was going to cite this book as an example of what I wanted. Then I realized that I really just wanted to read this one again (but other suggestions that meet that criteria are always welcome!). […]
