My Recent Reviews

My most recent reads, the first two books in Regan Walker’s Agents of the Crown Trilogy transported me to the early Nineteenth century. The first, Racing with the Wind, to Regency London and post Napoleonic France, where Bonapartists and Prussians plot against the  restored Bourbon monarchy. In Against the Wind, the government, fearing revolution in England, instruct agents provocateurs to incite rebels in the North Midlands to act, to justify repressive measures quashing reforming fervour. Both novels feature fantastic romances between the author’s heroes and heroines, in tales of danger, intrigue and passion.

I also read Christina Phillips’ Betrayed, an erotic historical romance, set in Roman Britian, featuring a forbidden romance between a Roman Tribune and  a Druid priestess, whom he enslaves. It is a tale full of passion, where the heroine is honour bound to betray the hero and if she is discovered will pay the ultimate price.

As part of our werewolf theme I posted my reviews of the first two novels in Karin Tabke’s erotic paranormal Blood Moon Rising Trilogy, Blood Law and Bloodright.  The wolves in this series are definitely alpha and the heroine Falon, whose life is on the line, has special powers of her own.

Our Coming Reviews

This week I will be reading Eve Rabi’s Burn’s World (books 1-4), describing a love triangle involving a sassy, mixed-race, girl called Burn, a wealthy, white teen and an African American street thug named Trojan, who wants what Brody has and who won’t take no for an answer!

After reading and reviewing The Wolfstone Curse by Justin Richards, this week Caroline will be reading and reviewing Mere Enchantment by Alicia Rivoli (followed closely by the sequel Rings of Enchantment). These are fantasy fiction for the younger and adult reader alike where a group of friends end up fighting for survival. After entering a cave to shelter from a storm, more and more strange happenings keep occurring the further they go inside the cave. With magic, wizards and other strange people surrounding them, the group become separated and try to find each other in this new magical world. The new kingdom is also under attack from a traitor. Will the group become one again? Will they survive? Caroline is looking forward to reading this novel as the synopsis itself sounds very exciting!

Caroline also has a short story review to post on A Night of Yowling Dogs by Henri Bauhaus for our Werewolf theme and she is also hoping to begin a contemporary romantic suspense Charades, by Ann Logan which will be a part of a double-review with myself. Charades will most likely be ready for the beginning of the following week.

Have a great week  everyone!
