Rough and Ready (Viking Time-Travel) ReviewLt Torolf Magnusson has decided to go back (if he can) and put a hurtin' on old Steinolf, the bad ole viking who tortured his sister and destroyed his old home.
Tor has been in the SEALS for a while and he is one of those very macho hombres, who think they are invincible. HE probably is, he sounds fine and has a heart to match. Men like that are hard to find in any century. When he tells his buddies he is going on a raid, they decide to go with him. Non believe they will be going to the thirteenth century. But that old magic works once again and history here they come.
They land in Norseland at an old hunting lodge that has been turned into a sanctuary for women. Hilda is a Norse Lady whose home has been captured and destroyed by Steinolf. She and a few women made it here and have settled in. The arrival of five good looking hunks comes just as they decide they need men to have children.
Tor finally convinces Hilda that he has come to defeat Steinolf. They start training the women to protect themselves and Tor finds he likes Hilda a little to much, he is in trouble whenever he gets around her.
As they get ready to storm Steinolf 's keep his cousins arrive with a number of long boats and sailors. As usual the action is non-stop and the laughs are too. The actions in that time and in our time are hysterical, I laugh till I cry. Then the romance is also sweet, what more can you ask for from a book.
I absolutely love these stories and she can't write them fast enough. The story of Hilda and Tor is just as good or better than any of the others. As long as she writes these stories I will buy them. Do not miss this one.Rough and Ready (Viking Time-Travel) Overview

Everything I Know about Love I Learned from Romance Novels ReviewI have been reading Sarah Wendell's blog, Smart Bitches Trashy Books, for several years. When I'm not reading, I'm writing. After all, romance novels are easy to write, according to those who malign them. Interestingly enough, producing a memorable, publishable, and re-readable manuscript is not a simple undertaking. EIKAL addresses the fact romance is the only fiction genre written by women, for women. Our books reflect our lives, whether they are set in medieval Scotland, or the neighborhood Starbucks, fifteen minutes ago. Our subject is the never-ending thrill of falling in love.
Sarah demonstrates throughout EIKAL that while some plots may be a bit far-fetched (shooting the object of one's affections, for instance, won't get you a Saturday night date,) the authors in question continue to bring real-life sensibilities into their work. We don't want the guy on the front cover, despite his six-pack and lush, flowing hair. We want the guy who sits in an oncologist's waiting room, holding his wife's purse while she undergoes chemo. We want to know that, at the end of the story, he'll still be holding her hand. We muse on our own relationship issues through the obstacles thrown in the path of the couple the author writes about. Plus, we're entertained. All this, and a happy ending, too.
Sarah uses some great real-life examples to illustrate her points. Mostly, EIKAL is a celebration of those of us who read and write romance. It's funny, it's thoughtful, and it might make the mockers and naysayers think twice. (While you're thinking twice, might I suggest picking up a copy of Jennifer Crusie's Bet Me? You'll thank me later.)
And, yes, Loretta Chase does know everything.
Congratulations, Sarah, on another great book.Everything I Know about Love I Learned from Romance Novels Overview

Just the Sexiest Man Alive (Berkley Sensation) ReviewI've been a little leery of reading debut authors lately after one too many bad experiences, so I admit I did hesitate in picking up this book (even though I loved the cover and it kept drawing me back to it). Definitely a mistake on my part. Just the Sexiest Man Alive is one of the best debut novels I've read in a very long time! As a fan of virtually every sub-genre in romance, I found it surprisingly refreshing to have a light-hearted, sweet, romantic storyline without a vampire or serial killer in sight. Contemporary romance seems to be on a downward shift lately and authors are more frequently jumping onto the paranormal bandwagon (which I am a fan of, but every now and then you just want to pick up a nice boy-meets-girl story without a lot of subplots and angst involved).
This book follows a somewhat simple premise, but puts a unique spin on it. Yes, boy-meets-girl, boy-ticks-off-girl, hate at first sight ensues, but the difference being that girl is a very successful lawyer and boy is "The Sexiest Man Alive" (three times over) and the biggest name in Hollywood. An unbelievable plot told in a very believable way. When Taylor Donovan finds out she is supposed to "coach" Hollywood playboy Jason Andrews for his new upcoming legal thriller that he's scheduled to film, she's initially star struck. But after a no-show (twice) on his part, she's not impressed when he saunters into the courtroom two days late and a dollar short.
These two characters start their first scene off with a bang and the witty banter (especially during their first meeting) kept me turning the pages. There is sexual tension in nearly every scene - although actual consummation of said tension is very limited. I finished it in less than a day and actually found it hard to put down.
If you're looking for a light contemporary romance, this is definitely a book I would recommend. If her next book is as good as this one, I've found a new autobuy author!Just the Sexiest Man Alive (Berkley Sensation) Overview

Entwined ReviewEntwined is a delightful retelling of the Grimm's fairy tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses. While my taste in fairy tales typically runs more to the evil witch or flesh eating ogre variety, I was quick to recognize all the basic story elements from the original. The book takes place during the year of mourning following the death of the Queen, mother to twelve daughters all named after flowers. The eldest daughter (Azalea), is the primary focus of the tale which details her efforts to take care of her sisters after their mother's death.
Azalea is a wonderful character. First seen at what is essentially her "coming out" ball, we follow her growth from a girl most concerned with balls and dancing to a girl with a strong sense of family and loyalty. All of her sisters are also well portrayed, each having characteristics that will endear them to readers and easily enable them to differentiate between each girl. Clover and Bramble, the two who are next in line following Azalea are each as well developed and eventually have their own roles to play in the story.
There are so many things going on with this story that readers will be entranced from the beginning. The dancing, balls, gentlemen suitors, and gowns will appeal to any young girl who ever fancied herself a princess. There are also elements of magic and adventure, and a villain who provides some genuinely creepy moments. The author does an excellent job creating a believable environment, and while there's not a lot of world building going on, it doesn't detract from a story that is expertly plotted and paced.
This is a great fantasy that transitions well from light moments to chilly moments of genuine peril that will keep the pages turning. There are romantic elements that are not overdone and left me with a big smile on my face, and sinister moments that made me stay up late so I could finish. The entire book has a cinematic quality to it that guarantees a great flow and makes this one a perfect recommend for young fantasy lovers. This is a fantastic choice for grades six and up, or any adult who wishes to remember what reading a great fairy tale feels like. Don't pass this one up. Recommended.Entwined Overview

Something About You (Berkley Sensation) ReviewContemporary romance fans will rejoice in SOMETHING ABOUT YOU, the third delightful contemporary by Julie James. In Chicago, Illinois, hard-working Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde has decided to treat herself to a weekend at the luxurious Peninsula hotel while her newly refinished hardwood floors dry at her Victorian home. However, instead of getting the R & R she planned for, she finds herself the sole witness to a high-profile murder in the hotel room next door. After the authorities find a videotape with a U.S. Senator involved with a dead call girl, FBI Special Agent Jack Pallas is put in charge of the case. Of all the agents who could be assigned the investigation, Jack is the last one Cameron wants to see. Three years ago, when she was a new Assistant U.S. Attorney, she had to shut down an organized crime case in which Jack had worked undercover for several years. Likewise, Jack isn't thrilled to see Cameron since he believes she's directly responsible for a demotion he received from the Department of Justice. Will the feisty Cameron and the brooding Jack be able to set aside their past differences to solve this high profile case? And what about their former chemistry that seems to be as strong as ever? In a market where too few really good contemporary romances are being published, Julie James is breathing life back into this subgenre with her witty and wonderful love stories full of great chemistry and sparkling verbal repartee. There's something about Julie James's unique writing that will make readers definitely notice SOMETHING ABOUT YOU!Something About You (Berkley Sensation) Overview

How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf ReviewMo Wenstein has moved from the south to Grundy, Alaska to get a fresh start. Most welcome her into their small town, especially the towns bachelor's. All except the constantly grumpy yet very delectable Cooper Graham who doesn't believe Mo has what it takes to live in Alaska. Things between them change when Mo finds Cooper on her porch with a bear trap on his ankle. As odd as that is, it's nothing compared to when Cooper changes into a wolf before Mo's eyes.
Cooper is Alpha of his pack but after a bloody encounter with another pack, he exiles himself to Grundy. Both him and his wolf are drawn to Mo but he uses his bad attitude to try and push her away. There have been wolf attacks around Grundy and Cooper starts to believe he is the one responsible. Though she has her doubts at times, Mo knows that Cooper isn't the one behind the attacks and is set on finding the one responsible. Not exactly what she planned on when she moved to Alaska but who said love wasn't complicated?
How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf isn't a fast paced, action packed read but is more character based with it's share of family drama and werewolf politics. Mo and Cooper both have come to Grundy to get away from their families and have a fresh start. Mo's parents are forever hippies. Everything she's done since she was a teenager was some sort of a rebellion against them. She has moved to Grundy to end that and live her life for her own reasons. Cooper didn't want to be alpha and after an encounter with another pack turned deadly, he came to Grundy to get away from it all. Mo doesn't take Cooper's attitude and Cooper challenges Mo each day. Their relationship isn't all rainbows and kisses but they still work really great together. Mo has the type of personality that very few can help but love and even when Cooper is at his most grumpy, you can't help but fall for him. It probably helps that he's easy on the eyes. I did think Mo took to what Cooper was a bit too easily, even with her parents being as opened minded as they are.
When Cooper's grandfather falls ill, he reluctantly goes home for a visit and we learn more about his pack and some of why he left to begin with. Almost no one was happy with Cooper's departure so there is family conflict where this part of the story is concerned. Back in Grundy people are being attacked around town by a wolf and since Cooper can't remember much when he is in his wolf form, he assumes it's himself. Mo understandably has her doubts but in the end knows it's not Cooper and does what she can to convince him to believe that also. I was a little thrown off by the end and liked that I wasn't able to predict everything.
Grundy has it's share of quirky characters that add funny moments to the story. How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf has the right amount of comedy, drama, paranormal and romance without any of it being too over the top. It's the first book Molly Harper's new paranormal romance werewolf series and I look forward to reading the next installment.How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf Overview
