I absolutely adore Jayne Castle books. In case you don’t know, JC is also Jayne Ann Krentz, who is also Amanda Quick. In short, she’s a wildly talented author. While Krentz and Quick are on my auto-read lists, Jayne Castle is my favorite pseudonym. These books are set on St. Helen’s — a planet that [...]
Has anyone besides me noticed how many of the baddest of all bad boys are out there these days—i.e., demons and devils as heroes in romances? It’s really not unexpected, of course. Ever since Milton made his brooding Satan the most attractive figure in Paradise Lost, the die was cast. Bad boys are sexy – [...]
~buy this book~So Enchanting is one of the most original romances I’ve read in years – and I say that with full recognizition that originality is a fraught concept in romance. People often think that a newly published romance is just a cookie-cutter version of a previously published romance. “Marriage of convenience?” they scoff. “That [...]
~ buy this book ~ I adored this book even though it’s all about things that I can’t do. I can’t throw a magic spell, for one thing. I can’t knit. My mother didn’t leave me a magic basket of yarn. I don’t even have three cats. But I was utterly charmed by Chloe Hobbs, [...]
One of the complicated things about romance is that it speaks to all sorts of desires PC and otherwise. In real life, we want men to be gentlemen. We like to be paid large salaries ourselves, and we’d prefer that our men are not collecting welfare. It’s great if they can whip together a pasta [...]
I don’t know about all of you, but I’m getting burned out on vampires and werewolves. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have time for a particular delicious blood-sucking male, but I’m starting to feel about them the way I feel about chick lit these days: it had better be really fresh for me to [...]
I should say right away that I am not a vampire type of person. The mixture of kisses and blood doesn’t work for me as a whole (though I freely admit to enjoying a Carpathian novel now and then). But I am deeply, deeply addicted to novels of love and death. Do you know what [...]
I’m fascinated by what I see as a recent trend in romance: weather romances. In the old days, a guy got a cold shoulder for missing Valentine’s Day — these days he’s more likely to get a cold front (heh heh). These books involve women who can control the weather, or at least interact with [...]
After Midnight is a tale of delicious vampires (maybe) and the intrepid young ladies out to get them. Sound familiar? Three things you didn’t know about Terri: she wept when Buffy was cancelled. During the first season, she lusted after Xander instead of Angel. And this is her first vampire paranormal! Now I happen to [...]
