REVIEW: Freedom’s Price: Colonial America Frontier Historical Romance by Jenna Kernan

[image error]

Mary Price surprises him, adapting to her harsh surroundings and quickly becoming a godsend.

REVIEW: One Night With the Sexiest Man Alive by Ainslie Paton

[image error] Standard Disclaimer: I’m friendly with the author online, we talk often on Twitter, and I’ve met her a few times. She’s the kind of author who wouldn’t stop speaking to me if I didn’t like her books and I’m comfortable giving my honest opinion (else I wouldn’t review her work) but, it’s something DA readers might throw into the mix when considering the review below. ~ Kaetrin

Dear Ainslie Paton,

This little book happened to drop in my lap just when I had some space in my review schedule and...

[image error]

No one said being a medium would be easy.

Rain Christiansen, former FBI agent and current cold case detective, is starting to think it’s the hardest job he’s ever had—and the most important. He’s determined to accept all the changes in his formerly well-ordered life, but that means embracing a whole lot of weird. There’s no instruction manual for meshing his work with his medium duties, and he’s painfully aware that he’s flubbing the job. So are the ghosts, who are becoming increasingly...

REVIEW: Realm of Ash by Tasha Suri

Dear Tasha Suri,

I greatly enjoyed your 2018 debut romantic fantasy novel, Empire of Sand, so I was eager for Realm of Ash, your recently-published follow up. The two books are interconnected despite being centered on different characters, so I recommend reading Empire of Sand first. Besides filling out the world and clarifying some things, Empire of Sand is worth reading in its own right.

In Realm of Ash, Arwa, sister to the heroine of the previous novel, is stalked by one of the daiva....

I was excited to see a...

Reading List for Jennie for October through December, Part Two

[image error] Underlying by Janelle Harris

I know. I KNOW. Anyone who reads my reviews is probably heartily sick of me bitching about Amazon First Reads, especially all the mediocre suspense I find there. Skip this if you want to avoid my whining (which would be understandable). The book is narrated by Susan/Sue in the first person, switching back and forth between past and present time. In the past, Sue and her twin brother Adam are celebrating their 21st birthday in the flat they share in Dublin. In...

REVIEW: The Bridled Tongue by Catherine Meyrick

[image error]

Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
England 1586

Alyce Bradley has few choices when her father decides it is time she marry as many refuse to see her as other than the girl she once was–unruly, outspoken and close to her grandmother, a woman suspected of witchcraft.

Thomas Granville, an ambitious privateer, inspires fierce loyalty in those close to him and hatred in those he has crossed. Beyond a large dowry, he is seeking a virtuous and dutiful wife. Neither he nor Alyce expect...
