Book

The Brands Who Came For Christmas (2014)

This story pulled me right in. I got this book for free. There are many books that are free, that are not worth the time to read them. this one on the other hand was a very good book.

Book

Angel's Pain (2008)

WOW! For a PR book, this had a ton of character development. First off, while the idea of a bunch of characters united for the sole purpose of revenge is not original, Maggie Shayne does it very well. It's funny how Briar calls them "The Scooby Gang" because they really are like a gritty, undead ...

Book

Voor de nacht valt (2005)

If the purpose of a prequel novella to a series is to get readers curious about what's to come in a series then Legacy of the Witch works well.

Book

L'eredità delle streghe (2005)

I actually read this short story after I read "Mark of the Witch" and it explained a couple unanswered questions about the mysterious box. I wondered how it arrived at Cornell.

Book

A Valentine from Harlequin: Six Degrees of Romance (2012)

This is an interesting concept to have six authors write a story in their sub genres with the same few paragraphs. However, each story was ok. They seemed a bit tongue-in-cheek. Nancy Warren's story was good, almost believable. The most interesting was Christine Bell's story because this was the...

Book

Darker than Midnight (2005)

I just happened to see this book featured at a local bookstore, and thought I'd give a try-- I'm really glad I did.

Book

Blood of the Sorceress

She put a jaunty cap on her head, a chauffeur’s cap like the one she’d seen Sid wearing that first day, only white, with a peace sign made out of blue glitter.

Book

Thicker Than Water (2003)

He hadn’t argued with her. He hadn’t insisted they “talk about” things, either. He wasn’t ready to do that, and he doubted she was, either.

Book

Reckless

It'll pass....

Book

Born in Twilight: Twilight Vows (1997)

But my lips merely brushed across hers, their touch light, fleeting. For her mouth was not my goal. Not yet. Part of me wished to frighten her, I think, but there was more.

Book

Forgotten (Shattered Sisters Book 2)

There were a pair of brackets etched between his dark brows. He kept looking at her across the table. Not saying anything, just looking at her between bites. It gave her a squirmy kind of feeling.
