THE TALON OF THE HAWK is book three in Jeffe Kennedy's

VIRGIN'S NIGHT OUT by Shiloh Walker is a quick stand-alone
read. This book is listed as 213 pages, but there is
a bonus novella Tempt Me included, so VIRGIN'S NIGHT OUT
clocks in at 106 pages. Due to the short format, the
story is compressed, but there Read more...
THE DUKE'S DISASTER by the lovely Grace Burrowes appears
to
be a standalone Regency romance, although with a
brother-in-law and a twin brother, I can see the potential
for this to develop into a series! As with so many
Burrowes
books, the heroine has some significant anguish Read more...
DARKNESS ETERNAL is novella #7.5 in the Guardians of

the Lymon Chronicles from Dorothy Dunnett, which is Read more...

Oh my god, The Others series by Anne Bishop just
keeps
getting better, and I'm not sure how that's even possible,

extraordinary. There are werewolves Read more...
THE BEDDING PROPOSAL by Tracey Anne Warren is a lovely
