REVIEW: A Third Party by Chris Tanglen
A Third Party by Chris Tanglen, Ellora’s Cave, Short Novel or Category, ebook format only, no print copy seems to be available. Are you in the mood for some romantic comedy?
A Third Party by Chris Tanglen delivers the goods. The plot is a simple one: Theresa’s fiancé Dale is open to the idea of making her ultimate fantasy come true: sleeping with two men at once. After much discussion, they decide to make it a reality. The best part of the story was watching them figure out how to make it come true. Alas, it’s not as easy as it seems. As they explore their options of Internet chat rooms and personal ads, the banter back and forth was quite funny. So good in fact, that I could have did without the gymnastics in the bedroom. In fact I did skim those but I’m sure that’s my loss. Quick read, good pacing, great flow, little lax on the chemistry for me but a fun read anyway. B+. Shelly blogged about this book on her blog. Now back to my mystery novel. This was a fun interlude.

About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).

Aunt Penelope’s Harem, Chris Tanglen
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
Aunt Penelope’s Harem by Chris Tanglen is an ebook published by Ellora’s Cave. This is a sexy romantic comedy despite whatever else the cover may imply and it’s a good one, too.
This purchase was an impulsive one. I’d read this author before (A Third Party). In that book, the story was about a woman whose boyfriend decides to

Dangerous Lover by Lisa Marie Rice is a romantic suspense novel, copyright 2007 and published by Avon Red. It’s a trade paperback novel with 352 pages. Lisa Marie Rice is a popular author at Ellora’s Cave. However, I’ve never read her but I was curious to know if her voice/style would suit me. I’m a fan of romantic suspense when
REVIEW: Scandalous Lovers by Robin Schone
about 3 years ago - 4 comments
Once upon a time, I was a Robin Schone fan. I consider that a fair statement after enjoying one book by her and a couple of novellas. I wasn’t exactly eager to read her next book as I’d read and discarded quite a few of her previous titles. The Men and Women’s Club by Robin Schone was at one time, an anticipated
REVIEW: The Assignment by Evangeline Anderson

Man Love. My first. Maybe my last. I just know that I couldn’t have a surfeit of these types of books on a daily basis. Or any erotica that’s m/m,m/f, f/f or whatever. If it entertains, I’ll read it but erotica these days, compose very little of my reading diet. Moving on. I bought this book because the buzz surrounding it has been pretty
Sucks to Be You by Sahara Kelly

Sucks to Be You by Sahara Kelly from Changeling Press was a fun read. Jayne from Dear Author reviewed this little gem of a book that I wouldn’t have otherwise picked up on my own. The story features a time traveling vampire who was conjured up by a couple of women playing on a Ouija board. It’s a very short story for a romance
Dare Me by Leigh Ellwood

Dare Me by Leigh Ellwood is my first keeper of the year. It is published by Phaze, a epub that was the recently featured at Dear Author . I decided on Dare Me on a whim. I couldn’t put this book down once I had started reading it and while I would love for everybody to read this book, it won’t appeal to everybody.
Dare Me is
REVIEW: Seduced in Twilight by Anya Bast
about 4 years ago - 2 comments
After reading and enjoying Ms. Basts’s Seduced in Twilight , I realized that this is the first book of the series and that I should have started with Tempted by Two which introduces this world and its characters. One thing about Ms. Bast’s books that keeps me reading is that her world is unique and her stories are always character
REVIEW: Tempted by Two by Anya Bast
about 4 years ago - 4 comments
Tempted by Two by Anya Bast was a very good read. This is my fourth foray into her Ms. Bast’s paranormal novels. If you enjoy novels where there are two hot heroes that are fated to be with one woman, then you would enjoy this novel. Or not. Hopefully, you will if you enjoy such stories. I know
REVIEW: A Change Of Season by Anya Bast
about 4 years ago - 3 comments
A Change of Season by Anya Bast is my second foray into her fantasy/paranormal work. You have two really hot heroes, smoking hot love scenes and some magick. Alas, no book is perfect and this book is far, far from perfect. Is the enemy of my enemy, my friend? I just used that quote because I like saying

I’ve been seeing reviews of this around the net and am thinking it and it’s sequel may need to find a home on my tbr pile.

Heh. I skimmed the bedroom scenes for the most part too. I really enjoyed the dialogue — but of course I like any book that can make me chuckle out loud.
