I jumped right into The Outsider the moment I downloaded it. I'll admit it. I've been devouring the Brotherhood of the Sword series as each book was available. This wonderful series is a rerelease, originally published under Ms. Kenyon's pseudonym, Kinley MacGregor. The Outsider, like its predecessors, is well-crafted and filled with emotion and romance....

Book Review: Shadows & Light by Tanya Anne Crosby
I don't like contemporary novels... usually. However, when an author I love and respect releases one, I will jump genres for them. I jumped this week. And oh my, I am so glad I did! Shadows and Light was a book that sneaked into my bones and wrapped around my thoughts. At one point I... Continue Reading →
The Champion: A Must-Read Medieval Romance by Sherrilyn Kenyon
I am thrilled that Sherrilyn Kenyon is rereleasing the Brotherhood of the Sword series under this name. I read this when I was younger and enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than when it first came out under her pseudonym, Kinley MacGregor. The Champion is well-crafted, filled with intrigue as well as romance.... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Serpent Queen by Jeff Wheeler
You've been there: It's the last book of a series that you have been devouring the minute you get your hands on the next book. And the next. And then it hits you. It's going to end. You're torn between wanting to know what happens and wanting the story to last forever. That was me... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Forgotten by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Back in my bookseller days, when a customer would ask for recommendations in my section (Romance, of course), Sherrilyn Kenyon and her alter ego, Kinley MacGregor, were always in my list. The Forgotten, originally published as Born in Sin (as Kinley MacGregor), is one of the reasons why. This book grabbed me from the start,... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Highlander by Sherrilyn Kenyon
I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's writing. So much so that I will pick up one of her books without giving it more than a glance, just to make sure I haven't already read it. This is an exception, and it won't be the last. I read this story when it was first published under her pseudonym:... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Forsaken by Sherrilyn Kenyon
You know that feeling when you get to the end of a book, when you close that last page, and you catch yourself smiling and breathing a happy sigh? That was me, finishing "The Forsaken" by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I've been reading Kenyon's work under both this name and her pseudonym, Kinley MacGregor, for decades. Somehow,... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Just One Kiss by Eileen Dreyer
I "hate" books that deeply capture my heart. It's not fair. All that emotion and stuff is just so distracting from the real world (of other emotions and stuff). What is one to do? Why read more, of course! And so, that is what I did when I picked up Just One Kiss. I absolutely... Continue Reading →
Book Review: What Happens in Brighton, a Regency and Victorian Collection
Ohhh, I want to go to Brighton! That was my first thought when I read the title of this anthology. Anyone who is a fan of the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice knows exactly what scene that line is from. (Just for the record, this collection of stories is nothing like that.) So, as... Continue Reading →
Table for Two?
I'm proud of myself. I think. Okay, I'm a little torn. I met my best friend (Willow!) for coffee today. I got there first, and since there's usually a wait, I went inside to put our names down for a table. There was no wait. Sort of. I was greeted by two people: "Table for... Continue Reading →
