Yes, I know I am a latecomer to this Nalini Singh sensation, but if I were to pick a book that has lived up to all the hype and rave surrounding its launch, Slave to Sensation would come to mind.
This futuristic paranormal is worthy of all the praises that’s been sung about its plot, characters […]

Long before this book came along, I had already fallen under the spell of Madeline Hunter and her writing. The author has a talent for seducing readers with her powerful story-telling skills, memorable characters (who could forget David de Abyndon, Christiana Fitzwaryn, Anna de Leon, Rhys, Daniel St. John, Dante Duclairc), heart-stirring description of emotions […]

Another mad week of rushing for an important regional meeting taking place next week in Thailand and planning the roll-out of our pilot batch of new sites just went by in a blink. I managed to squeeze in only two books on those bus journeys to work and back.

Anyway, I’m glad I picked up The Hazards of Hunting a Duke, the first of the Desperate Debutante trilogy. Ms […]

This historical romance by Judith E French, an author who’s new to me, found its way to my TBR pile quite serendipitously. There I was at Borders, trying to locate either Magic Study or The Rules of Seduction, but what should draw my eye but the magnificent cover of The Warrior.

Okay, I simply couldn’t resist this one which challenges my English skills. As I suspected, I’m crap at punctuation:
Your English Skills:
Grammar: 100%
Spelling: 100%
Vocabulary: 100%
Punctuation: 60%
Does Your English Cut the Mustard?
I’ve always prided myself on being open minded, but this quiz result shows there’s room for improvement:
You Are 60% Open Minded
You are a […]

Chanced upon this book at Borders and thinking it was another tale of Arthur’s knights of the Round Table, from the description on the back cover, bought it.
Well, it is. Except that The Knight of Darkness is set in an alternate universe after the fall of Camelot and Arthur’s death, and it is the second […]
