Review: The Lion’s Lady by Julie Garwood

I took great pleasure in reading this novel. It wasn’t a typical romance though it held many of the typical pieces you would find in a romance. Atypical you ask? Yes! The heroine for instance was raised by the Dakota, or Native American Indians. She had to return to England to pursue the rest of [...]

Well we can easily define paranormal romance as subgenre of romance. But what is it really? Paranormal romance combines the supernatural world with that of the real, the natural, the plain. One lover is sure to be something special and the other lover is special because they are so plain; something is [...]

Review: Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer

I’m devoting the next three days to the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer. When I first heard about this new teenage vampire romance I was skeptical. This is probably because my favorite vampire/human duos from other fandoms do not work out. For instance, Angel left Buffy after three seasons and then the series creator and [...]

Review: Some Nerve by Jane Heller

Review: Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie
