Book Review: The Dangerous Gentleman

This is another book read during my trip to Paris. Again, the author isn’t new to me. I’ve read one of Julia London’s contemporary romance, and her regency series, The Desperate Debutantes, and liked them all.
There wasn’t any synopsis on the backcover, but as I’ve been checking out the author’s website every now and then […]

Book Review: Fallen

I’m no stranger to Eric McCarthy, having read the hilariously entertaining Heiress for Hire in 2006. I recall making plans to hunt down some of her contemporary stuff but never got round to it.  Therefore, imagine my delight when I stumble upon this rather dark paranormal series built around the seven deadly sins and the […]

Book Review: Elijah, Caressed by Ice, Warrior Rising

The month of May was as much about celebrating differences as fantasy serials. The three paranormal/ fantasy romance reads I finished had relationships that involved protagonists who come from different worlds/ races and time/ century.
Elijah is the third in the Nightwalkers paranormal romance series by Jacquelyn Frank and boy did she have a bombshell of […]

Enthralled by C L Wilson’s Tairen Soul Novels

This magnificent fantasy epic was first brought to my attention by Katie, who named them her Top 2007 reads.  So, when I chanced upon the first two books of the series on a book buying binge, I swept them home and never regretted it.
Why? Lord of the Fading Lands and Lady of Light and Shadows deserve […]

Whether you’re a long-time fan or a new convert, there’s bound to be one amongst these six reissues that will capture your imagination. And the gorgeous new covers […]

Praises for The Mage’s Daughter

Being no stranger to Lynn Kurland’s sweet time travel romances, I was naturally delighted to discover that she has published two romantic fantasy works under the Nine Kingdoms trilogy and needed no persuasion to get the series. 
Turns out Star of the Morning and The Mage’s Daughter were every bit as brilliant as the back covers […]

Four Good Books

With one website launched, I have a little bit of breathing space, so without further ado, here are the reviews of four books read recently.
Lord of the Silver Bow by David Gemmel is a prize find. I mean, I’ve always been a fan of Greek heroic fantasy, but have always stuck to the interpretations of […]

Crazy Cool, Lessons, Mine till Midnight

It’s been two crazy weeks of non-stop preparation for the launch of another website, and the company annual dinner, so much so that now that the party’s over and we’ll know for sure if the site’s ready for take-off on Monday, I find myself with some time on hand, so what better thing to do […]
