The Professional
Classed by my local library service as a ‘modern’ novel The Professional is very different from any other modern I have ever read. Cole’s website actually lists it as Adult Erotica which I believe is far more accurate. Natalie Porter was adopted from an orphanage by a lovely couple living in Nebraska on a farm. She […]
One Christmas Kiss in Notting Hill
Categorised as a romance novel and released by Harlequin, a division of Mills and Boon the renowned romance publicists, this is a departure from my usual material. Honestly I picked it because it said Christmas and I am a sucker for all things Christmassy. Meet Isla and Hannah Winters, two sisters who live in Notting […]
The Shadows
This is book number thirteen in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J. R. Ward. I reviewed Blood Vow from the Black Dagger Legacy series recently which has Paradis as a main character. She is introduced to us along with a few others in the context of our existing character base. This novel enters around iAm and Trez […]
If you dare
If you read my previous review of “The Bourbon Kings” by J. R. Ward you may know that I was not the biggest fan of her new direction. That is, away from the Black Dagger Brotherhood. However Kresley Cole has successfully managed to write a romance novel based in a non-supernatural world and I was rather impressed […]
The Lost Angels: Messenger’s Angel
Book 2 in The Lost Angels Series, which means I have come in part way and missed the start but it was still a really good book. I finished it in 2/3 hours while commuting to work earlier this week. This is a fantasy novel, for a bit different to the horror romance novels of Kresley […]
The Bourbon Kings
This books is scandal after scandal sandwiched with intrigue, betrayal, and strange encounters. I don’t watch soaps like Eastenders or programs like The Real Housewives of “X location” but this is what I imagine them to be like. Maybe this is worse?! Tulane ‘Lane’ Baldwine is the third child of the four children in the […]
Straken
Straken is the third and final instalment in the High Druid of Shannara trilogy. For my review of the second book Tanequil click here. We rejoin the story with Penderrin Ohmsford leaving the garden of the Tranquil and attempting to cross the bridge back to his companions only to discover that they have been captured by […]
The Lost Symbol
This is the second time I have read this novel. I like the Dan Brown novels, I have watched all the movie adaptations too. Gotta love a bit of Tom Hanks! This one I feel is more mature that the first two, it seems to give more dimension to the Masons, less of nasty view […]
Dark Bites
This is a review of the compendium Dark Bites by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It contains 12 short stories set in the world of the Dark-Hunters. It shows us some side stories behind those in main novels, and shows us the stories of secondary characters that we don’t see in the mainstream books. It is quite a […]
