Needed a good developmental edit but not a bad story at all. Some minor mistakes in the story that a good editor should have caught.

This is a reread, but I love the Kresnov series. I hope the author writes more about Kresnov, but I am willing to wait for good books rather than the author put out crap in a hurry.

My friend, Iori recommended this book do if it sucks ass I am going to blame her. I desperately need a break from the romances, so back to my love of Space Opera.

Oh too much teenager angst! Flipping, flipping, until I find some action, plot movement, hell even some sex right now to escape teen drama. I hate enough teen drama in my house, don't need to read it too.

God this romance started slowly. Took a while to get to the action, with too much story building at the beginning. Sex is hot, if rather vanilla - so far the risqueisk thing the couple has done is have sex in a fitting room in a specialty boutique.

Went from plain vanilla sex in the last romance to a bunch of horny, hot SEALs that enjoy MMF threesomes and swapping. Sex, while well described is - meh, for creativity. Story has a bunch of horny sailors who have been overseas, they will have plenty of ideas more creative than just spit roasting and sandwiching a woman. Obviously everyone in this book wants a MMF threesome, because that is how SEALs roll.

Sweet baby Jesus, I am getting swamped with romances faster than I can read and review them. Ladies, (and gentleman) I appreciate that you want a review from a reader outside of your target audience, but you are swamping me. I am approaching romance burn out.

This has been a long, drawn-out romance centered around a college hockey player and his gf. It's a sweet tale with very well-written characters, smooth dialogue, and excellent sex scenes. The sex is rather vanilla, so if you are looking for a 50 Shades clone or something kinkier than sex on a stationary motorcycle - look elsewhere. I would not have read this book except it was given to me for a review.

Not a terrible romance. A little slow at times, but tender. I like how the couple quickly realized they were more than just fuck buddies. At least they had the maturity to step back and give it a shot as a couple. I wonder what the conflict is going to be? In the middle, happy part of the story arc now.

So finally started this series again. Time for serious Space Opera.

Alright some mindless trashy novel is just what I need to floss my mental belfry of too many mushy romances.

Taking a break from Romances for a while, but perhaps this is not the best series of books for that break.

I've always wondered how this series ends - does the hero ride off into the sunset with one of the women from his life for a HEA? Or does Sten go down in a blaze of glory taking his enemies such as some of the great Japanese sagas? Nice to see Haines again; she is my fav of Sten's lovers and I hope the one he settles with at the end. Bet is a possibility as well, but I am waiting for Bet as assassin targeting Sten.

God dang this is a thick romance. So rock star wannabe and sorta groupie get so drunk that they get hitched in Vegas. Some history between the now wed single mother, the band, the band's manager (who happens to be the new hubbie's stepmom), and the stepdad. So bottom of the story arc, be interesting to see where the author takes this one.

Taking a break from the romance fest ad nauseum. Cheesy, male-centric Space Opera from the '80s. I always wanted to read the Sten series, but never found all of the books in paperback. With the wonders of the digital age, thankfully the local libraries have the Sten ebooks for borrowing. After over 20 years of wanting to read this whole series, I finally can complete it.

So this is all four books in one omnibus. Not all that bad except for some little details. Little less focus on romance and more on the legal aspect, and you would have a Perry Mason-like story.

this will be a quick read, so far the story is meh, but maybe I am just too jaded

So I am a little disappointed with the sex scene in this book. So the billionaire bargains one night of pleasure with the girl for his help. Only goes one round, one position, does not plan, and then dumps her in her own bed? WTF? For someone supposedly so hung up on control and obsessing with this woman for so long, that is all that he does? Should have been so much more than a lightweight 50 Shades rip off.

So this story starts slowly ... really burnt out on romances right now. Getting these damn books faster than I read and review them.

God I get a bunch of these romances for free for the reviews. Got to admit this one starts really well - just goes to show you how much of a dirty mind I have.

So surprisingly this has not been that bad of a romance. MC is stuck with no hubby, kid and fighting against her biological clock. The male love interest is an egotistical arrogant asshole. So far good surprises; every time that I thought I knew where the story was going the author tossed a nice twist.

So this will be a quick read, but so far I like the look into some of the backstories of Sean's wives.

Rereading the first three books of the Kresnov series. The author has stated that six Kresnov books for now is all that he has planned, but more are possible. I would like to see more Kresnov books.

Didn't have much time to read this series yesterday and there are a couple of books I borrowed from the library that have a time limit. Since I own this book, I concentrated on the library books. At this point Admiral Geary is getting his third fleet together to explore the far side of Sindac space and if possible, peacefully meet the enigma aliens.
