My Familiar Stranger by Victoria Danann

My Familiar Stranger

Reviewed by Lynn Reynolds

Sovereign Sol Nemamiah is with his knights when something ends up in the room with them. One of his men Rammel Hawking was curious as to what they are seeing. Rammel’s fellow knight, Engel Storm, decided that once they take whatever ended up in their room to the infirmary he would wait and see how things work out. Victoria does a great job of blending the old and the modern to make this great tale.

Elora Laiken has traveled from an alternate dimension and ends up badly injured. Who would have ever thought that there is … Continue reading

This book starts with a “Dear Reader” from the author.  Please make sure to read it.  I know how sometimes people like to skip this but in this case you don’t want to.

This is a book of second chance endings for the eight books that she has written for this series.  If you have not read these books before, this book might not be for you.  A suggestion would be to get the books covered here and then after you finish the book, read her second epilogue.  If you have read the books before, but … Continue reading

Review: Against the Wall by Rebecca Zanetti

Against the Wall by Rebecca Zanetti

Ginny’s Review:

Alright, first off I’d like to point out that if you go to the Goodreads.com link — you will find that they have Jake listed at “Jack” — Not cool, Goodreads. Not cool. You scared the bejeesus out of me thinking that I’d picked another book with the hero named “Jack” and not realized it.

His name is Jake. Not Jack. Phew.

Now that that’s been said — Good book! And suitably titled, as Sophie does, at one point, ask Jake, “Do you ever notice how often you have me up against the wall?

I was more drawn … Continue reading

Private Practice by Samanthe Beck

Ginny’s Review:

Amusing quote:
“Let me get this straight. You decide you want more action and adventure in your sex life, so first thing you do is buy a book and study up? Does that strike you as ironic?”

I highlighted this passage in my Nook because it made me laugh out loud, both at Ellie and myself.  While I agree with Tyler on this stated question, I identify with Ellie. I research the hell out of anything that interests me, and that includes sex. I will proudly raise my hand and say I … Continue reading

Review: A Highland Werewolf Wedding by Terry Spear

A Highland Werewolf Wedding by Terry Spear

Reviewed by Lynn Reynolds:

The year is 1785.

Elaine Hawthorn is very sad on this day.  And in amongst all her grief she’s supposed to find a mate.  She has convinced her uncles that she needs to get away for awhile.  Cearnach MacNeill is a Scottish werewolf and he wants something from her.

Then our story jumps to present day.

In having the story jump, Terry shows that werewolves have a long life.  She also shows the reader how deeply the Scottish wolves feel about family and tradition.  And speaking of family, one of my favorite characters in this book … Continue reading

Review: Kiss of Temptation by Sandra Hill

Kiss of Temptation by Sandra Hill Cover

Reviewed by Lynn Reynolds:

Ivak Sigurdsson really loves women.  In today’s world we might consider his problem an addiction.  But Ivak has other issues he has to deal with – one being that he is a vangel.  And that is the least of his problems.

Gabrielle Sonnier is a lawyer.  She’s a woman that fights for what she believes in and that includes family.  Sandra also reminds her readers how scary prisons can be.  And hopefully we are one of those that are lucky enough never to find out personally.

Early on, Sandra has a scene where the demons are … Continue reading
