Review: Not the Duke’s Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt

Not the Duke’s Darling Author: Elizabeth Hoyt Reviewer: Jen Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Right from the opening lines, I knew I was going to enjoy Not the Duke’s Darling.

Review: Earl to the Rescue by Jane Ashford

Earl to the Rescue Author: Jane Ashford Reviewer: Ang Rating: C What I’m Talking About: I wanted to like Earl to the Rescue. The storyline had a ton of potential, but it just never lived up to it. The characters, when they weren’t bland and predictable, were annoying; for example the heroine, Gwendeline constantly refers […]

The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl Author: Annika Martin Reviewer: Jen Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl is one of the funniest, sexiest books I’ve read in a while – probably since the last Annika Martin title I devoured.

Review: Tied Up by Sionna Fox

Tied Up Author: Sionna Fox Reviewer: B. Rating: B What I’m Talking About: Oftentimes, a goodbye is my favorite kind of beginning, and Tied Up fits that description with unexpectedly tempting ruthlessness. What follows is a kaleidoscope of resentment and guilt, punishment and sex, and forgiveness and love. Not just about the manifestation of particular kinks in the bedroom, […]

Review: Diamond Fire by Ilona Andrews

Diamond Fire Author: Ilona Andrews Reviewer: Jen Rating: A What I’m Talking About: For those who enjoy the Hidden Legacy series, Diamond Fire is an entertaining, must-read novella.

Review: The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

The Proposal Author: Jasmine Guillory Reviewer: Jen Rating: B- What I’m Talking About: After experiencing mixed feelings about Jasmine Guillory’s debut title, The Wedding Date, I wanted to give her sophomore offering, The Proposal, the benefit of the doubt.
