$5 Friday eReads

$5 Friday E-Reads are my way of listing what I’ve been reading lately, sharing them with you as well as a few good deals to boot. Each week, I’ll either bundle a set of books that I know total $5 or less at the time of posting, or pick one book that’s $4.99 and see…

$5 Friday eReads

$5 Friday E-Reads are my way of sharing some good deals on the great reads I’ve read fairly recently. I’m going to try to bundle a set of 5 books that I know total $5 or less at the time of posting. I kinda like the 5 books for $5 or less idea too, so…

$5 Friday eReads

$5 Friday E-Reads were conceived because I’ve been contemplating a new type of blog post that’s both relevant and recurring. I’d also been thinking about listing what I’ve been reading lately, and thought this would potentially kill two birds with one metaphorical stone. I’m thinking I’ll either bundle a set of books that I know…

Recommended Regency Romances

Maggie Blackbird asked me about a month ago (sorry Maggie!) for my recommended Regency Romances. I had written up a long list and lost it to stupid swipe on my “magic mouse” that managed to erase the reply on the web page. So… I’m sure I’ve forgotten authors I absolutely adore on this list, and…

Review: Hot Contract

Today’s the official release day for Jodi Henley’s Hot Contract. Hot Contract by Jodi Henley When Jen Stalling, chief geologist on a new magma-based power plant known as the Pele Project witnesses the murder of a fellow scientist, Project officials don’t want the negative publicity of a murder investigation. “An accident,” they say.

Review: Mine Till Midnight

Publisher: St. Martin’s Pub. Date: October 2, 2007 ISBN-10: 0312949804 ISBN-13: 978-0312949808 I have enjoyed many of Lisa Kleypas‘ historical novels for their unique slant on how London life went on outside the highest eschelons of society. Lately, however, she’s gotten away from that and I was hoping this book would be a bit of…

Review: Wife For Hire

I was first turned on to Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series a few years ago by the wife of DH’s boss at the time. I went through them like candy. The only problem is now that I’m caught up, waiting for the paperbacks to come out a year after the hardbacks are released…

Review: A Touch of Minx

Suzanne Enoch has become one of my favorite authors. I forget where I first stumbled across one of her books. It was likely recommended by Amazon as something I’d like because of reading authors like Julia Quinn. I went through her available books still in print and then went and specially ordered a couple because…

Review: To Scotland, With Love

I was looking forward to the new Karen Hawkins book To Scotland, With Love, but I was disappointed with this one. The hero’s family has been cursed so that the weather is tied to their temper – love that idea and it was used effectively in this book. The story centers around a practical but…

Review: Sleepless at Midnight

Jacquie D’Alessandro’s latest offering Sleepless at Midnight was a fun read, but not as enjoyable as some of her previous books. In this story, the hero made two promises at his father’s deathbed and combines his efforts by hosting a house party at his estate to search for a hidden fortune while looking over heiresses…
