My Reckless Surrender, by Anna Campbell

Anna Campbell made her romance debut with quite the splash in 2007, with the release of Claiming the Courtesan. It was a book that stirred up quite a bit of controversy, a lot of discussion about returning to old school tropes of forced seduction, etc. She has published several books since, but I never got… Read More My Reckless Surrender, by Anna Campbell

Waking the Witch, by Kelley Armstrong

Kelley Armstrong is the one author I will insta-buy in hardback. Whenever I do it, I brace myself, thinking, “Okay, this time I’m going to regret it.” And, knock on wood, I never do! Waking the Witch, Armstrong’s 11th Women of the Otherworld book, is just as captivating as her previous works. Followers of Armstrong’s books… Read More Waking the Witch, by Kelley Armstrong
