Brynn Chapman makes you question how far science should take humanity. Project Mendel blurs the distinction between genetics and horror and merges them in a reality all too plausible. A gripping read.

The Necklace - I don’t read historicals that often but am glad I picked this one up. Be ready for a lot of dry wit and humor. Ms. Corwin gives you a generous dose. This is an interesting mix of history, romance and mystery in which the hero finds himself knee-deep in trouble and a growing affection for a woman who thinks she has given up on men.

Moon of the Falling Leaves is an incredible read. The characters are not only believable, but the blending in of how Swift Eagle shows Jessica and her children the acts of survival is remarkably done. Diane Davis White pens a poignant tale that really grabbed this reader. She tells a descriptive story of discipline, trust and love in a time where hatred and prejudice abounded among many. This rich tale offers vivid imagery of the beautiful scenery and landscape, and brings in the tribal customs of each person, as Jessica and Swift Eagle search their heart.

I adore this Scottish historical romance! Blood on the Tartan has more history than some historical romances—but never dry history! Readers will find themselves completely immersed in the scene, the history and the characters. This intricate historical detail emanates from the story itself, heightening the suspense and the reader’s understanding of the history in a vivid manner as if it were current and present. Blood On The Tartan is a must read for romance and historical fiction lovers of Scottish heritage.

The Mosquito Tapes - Nobody tells a bio-terror story better than Chris Holmes. And like all of Chris Holmes’ books, this one begins well—when San Diego County Chief Medical Examiner Jack Youngblood discovers a strange mosquito in the pocket of a murder victim. Taut, tingly, and downright scary, The Mosquito Tapes will keep you reading well into the night.

The Garden of Evil - Chris Holmes’s novel is a modern day cat and mouse, no…cobra and mongoose investigation, with the stakes more personal and deadly as the adversaries find themselves continually within striking distance. The weapon – food – is one of man’s most basic needs.
~ John Sylvester, FBI Agent (Ret.)

The Medusa Strain by Chris Holmes - Race with government and civilian virus chasers as they trace how the plague disease travels from Iraq throughout the United States. This thriller incorporates the very best of military, government and civilian disease centers, and political knowledge. The author takes the time to leave your teeth on edge in parting with his knowledgeable reassurances in the epilogue that this bio-weapon technology is with us today. The Medusa Strain really could happen!

Jean Harrington’s The Barefoot Queen is a treasure in the historical romance genre you’ll want to read for yourself!

The Sense of Honor - Ashley Kath-Bilsky has written a historical romance of the highest caliber. The plot is exciting, characters are multi-dimensional, and the secondary characters bring life to the story. Ms. Kath-Bilsky gives her readers a breathtaking romance. This reviewer was very pleased with how the author handled all the secrets and both characters reacted very maturely when the secrets finally came to light.

Beats A Wild Heart - In the ancient, Celtic land of Cornwall, Emma Hayward searched for a myth and found truth. The legend of the black cat of Bodmin Moor is a well known Cornish legend. Jean Adams has merged the essence of myth and romance into a fascinating story which catches the imagination. I enjoyed the way the story unfolded at a smooth and steady pace with Emma and Seth appearing as real people who feel an instant attraction for one another. At first the story appears to be straightforward, but as it evolves mystery, love and intrigue intervene to make a vibrant story with hidden depths. Once you start reading you won’t be able to put this book down.

Down Home Ever Lovin’ Mule Blues by Jacquie Rogers - How can true love fail when everyone and their mule, cat, and skunk know that Brody and Rita belong together, even if Rita is engaged to another man? This is a fabulous roll on the floor while laughing out loud story. Rarely do I locate a story with as much humor, joy, and downright lust spread so thickly on the pages that I am surprised I could turn the pages. A treasure not to be missed.

When the Vow Breaks by Judith Leigh - This book is about a woman who fights breast cancer. The storyline dealt with the commitment between a man and a woman, with a true belief of God. The intrigue was that of finding a rock to lean upon through faith in God. Not only did she learn to lean on her relationship with Him, but she also learned how to forgive her husband. This is a great look at not only a breast cancer survivor, but also a couple whose commitment to each other through their faith grew stronger. It is an easy read and one I highly recommend.

A Heated Romance by Candace Gold - A fascinating romantic suspense tells the story of Marcie O’Dwyer, a female firefighter who has had to struggle to prove herself. While the first part of the book seems to focus on the romance and Marcie’s daily life, the second part transitions into a suspense novel as Marcie witnesses something suspicious at one of the fires. Her life is endangered by what she possibly knows and I found myself anticipating the outcome almost as much as Marcie.

Rebel Heart - Jannine Corti Petska used a myriad of emotions to tell this story and the reader quickly becomes entranced in the ways Courtney’s stubborn attitude works to her advantage in surviving this disastrous beginning to her new life.

***
Brides of the West by Michèle Ann Young, Kimberly Ivey, and Billie Warren Chai - All three of the stories in this wonderful anthology are based on women who gambled their future in blindly accepting complete strangers for husbands. It was a different era when a woman must have a husband to survive and all three authors wrote exceptional stories featuring fascinating and gutsy heroines and the men who loved them. For an engrossing read with splendid original stories I highly encourage readers to pick up a copy of this marvelous anthology.

Holiday in the Heart (Anthology) - Stories that would put even Scrooge into the Christmas spirit. It does not matter what type of romance genre you prefer. This book has a little bit of everything. The stories are set in the U.S.A. and Europe. Some take place in the past, some in the present, and one story takes place in both! I strongly suggest you put on something comfortable, brew up something hot (tea, coffee or cocoa will do), light up a fire, settle down somewhere quiet and begin reading this anthology.

Legend says that if you wish with all your heart upon the rare blue moon, your wishes were sure to come true. Angels may help, ancient spells may be broken. Even vampires will find their perfect mate with the power of the blue moon. Blue Moon Magic is a perfect read for late at night or during your commute to work. It offers historicals, contemporaries, time travel, paranormal, and futuristic narratives to tempt your heart.

Love and Silver Bells - I really enjoyed this heartwarming anthology. The characters are heart-wrenchingly human and hurting and simply looking for a little bit of peace on earth. Luckily they all eventually find it, although not without some strife. But we always appreciate the gifts we receive when we have to work a little harder to keep them. I recommend these warm holiday tales be read by the light of a well-lit tree, with a lovely fire in the fireplace and a nice cup of hot cocoa. All will warm you through and through.

Love on a Harley is an amazing romantic anthology. Each story was heartwarming, tear jerking, and so perfect.

I couldn’t ask for a better romance anthology; each author brings that sensual, longing sort of love that every woman dreams of.

No Law Against Love (Anthology) - If you have ever found yourself rolling your eyes at some of the more stupid laws, then you are going to adore this novel.
