The Merry Gentry Series, books 6-8

The Merry Gentry Series, books 6-8

By Laurell K Hamiltom Read: April 2010 Rating: Phwoar I tried really hard not to let them all run together, but they did. Rather than try to pull the last three books apart, I’m just going to shove ‘em in one post and mention what lasting impressions I have. A Lick of Frost I was [...]

Mistral's Kiss

Mistral’s Kiss

By Laurell K. Hamilton Read: March 2010 Rating: Slam First, I would have to declare that Mistral is not terribly important to this volume. Let it be known that the titles are farking arbitrary. (Just to spite me, Lick of Frost is going to be ALL ABOUT FROST, I just know it.) Anyway, Goddess and [...]

Seduced by Moonlight

Seduced by Moonlight

By Laurell K. Hamilton Read: March 2010 Rating: Engrossing First, let me just say that that cover is a total plot-tease.

Then she passed them on to me. Good, solid books. Not perfect, but few things are. As a whole, the series [...]

The Pillow Boy of the Lady Onogoro

By Alison Fell Read: July 2008 Rating: Humn. I bought this one for $1 at Strand, and so I can’t complain about the price. I was pretty pleased with it at first, titillated on my train ride home, but I stopped about midway through for some reason with the intention of picking it up again [...]

Sheikh's Ransom

Sheikh’s Ransom

By Alexandra Sellers Read: November 2006 Rating: BLECH. (This one has some bad language. Sorry.) Remember that school project about Christian Romance Novels? Well, I got an A on it. But my punishment was having to read this garbage. I’m not a stranger to fantasies that involve the dangerous, the forbidden, submission, and the otherwise [...]
