Unwrapping: Review of THE DEVIL'S HEART, a Chattan Curse novel by Cathy Maxwell

Unwrapping: Review of SINS OF A RUTHLESS ROGUE by Anna Randol

I fell in love with Anna Randol's fascinating and intriguing spy twists on historical romance from the first time I read her debut novel, A SECRET IN HER KISS.

Unwrapping: Review of AND THE MISS RAN AWAY WITH THE RAKE by Elizabeth Boyle

I hope you read ALONG CAME A DUKE, book one in the Rhymes With Love series by Elizabeth Boyle after I reviewed and recommended it last June because the next book in the series, AND THE MISS RAN AWAY WITH THE RAKE is coming March 26th. It might not be quite as excellent but it has its moments and it stars Lord Henry Seldon, the sensible uncle of the Duke from book one. Besides, Elizabeth always gets beautiful covers.    ***eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest and unscripted review. Blurb for AND THE MISS RAN AWAY WITH THE RAKE: Daphne Dale never could have imagined that when she answered an advertisement in the newspaper that she would find true love. Now she has the opportunity to meet her unknown suitor, but it means traveling to Tabitha’s wedding, and into the heart of her family’s sworn enemies....

Unwrapping: Review of KISS OF SURRENDER, a Dark Angels novel by Sandra Hill

Back in April of 2012, I reviewed the first book in the Deadly Angels series, KISS OF PRIDE, by Sandra Hill, and introduced you to the Vangels. The Vangels are a humorous group of seven Viking brothers who have each been found guilty of one of the seven deadly sins. The first was Vikar, whose sin was Pride. As soon as the second book in the series, KISS OF SURRENDER, was released last November, I knew I had to read it. My reading schedule finally allowed me the chance and because book 3, KISS OF TEMPTATION, is releasing at the end of March and I had to be caught up. More on that one another day. ***Print copy purchased for my own personal reading but of course, I'm going to share my thoughts with you. Blurb for KISS OF SURRENDER: It’s not easy being a Vampire Angel No one knows that better than Trond Sigurdsson. In...

I am a lover of all things literature but I have a special place in my heart for Romance Novels of all sorts. Some day, I hope to proclaim, that in addition to being a reader of romance, that I am an author of romance as well.
