I’m a hypocrite. I can admit it. I’m not usually a fan of the “one handed reads”, and I fully acknowledge that I like a little plot with my sex. As a result, I’ve probably been more than a bit harsh in my opinion of quite a few sex-centric books that didn’t deliver much in... Continue Reading →

Many, many...way too many years ago than I care to remember, I watched a movie called Soylent Green, starring Charleton Heston. Set in a dystopian future, in a horrifically overpopulated New York City, Heston played an NYPD officer investigating the murder of one of the higher ups in the Soylent Corporation, a company that had...

Sleepwalker is a difficult book to categorize. There’s a little bit of mystery, a little bit of…not so much romance as much as there is a beginning of what could be a fine romance, and a little bit of personal turmoil for Dan “Web” Weber, a man who’s struggling with an affliction named George. And... Continue Reading →

The Winter Garden is a story of perspective, and by that I mean that while I was reading, what this story seemed to be on the surface became so much more to me upon reflection. The more I thought about this story, the deeper it touched my heart, and in such a wonderful way, leading... Continue Reading →

I happened across Suite Nineteen as a free read on All Romance Ebooks, and maybe that should’ve set off some alarm bells for me. To begin with, I very rarely find full length novels given away as freebies, and even more rarely have I been lucky enough to find a free novel that’s been great.... Continue Reading →

There is no one who can break my heart quite the way Amy Lane can. It’s never a quick, clean break. No, it’s a slow and agonizing process that begins with the first word of the book, and that first word is like the end of the thread that holds my poor little heart in... Continue Reading →

I'm not sure I've ever read a series before that has taunted and provoked me the way "Dark Soul" has, wanting two characters to be together more than anything else, then rethinking that, wondering if they did end up together, would they even be good or right for each other? Then again, maybe there are... Continue Reading →
"All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril." - Oscar Wilde Perilous? Perhaps. If one reads, though, and doesn’t look beneath the surface sometimes, how does that reader then make those personal connections to a book or the characters? The author writes the words...
