The Mercenary
Cherry Adair
HQN Books, 2008
Loved it!
+ I loved the story and Tory
+ Mercenary
I think authors of romantic suspense have to be very adept at balancing the romance with the suspense in this genre. Too much of one or the other, and the book sags under the imbalance. Too much romance, the writing often tips over into the treacly, the overblown, the gushy. (I'm not a big fan of ...

Beg for Mercy (Mercy Hollings, Book 1)
Toni Andrews
Mira, 2007
Nice twist on the paranormal

I am a fan of vampire and werewolf fiction. However, I really liked the originality of this story and purchased book 2 in the series. I am saving it for jury duty :) The story really makes you picture the people and their surroundings, so that you feel you are watching a movie when you read this ...

The Nymphos of Rocky Flats
Mario Acevedo
Eos, 2008
Meh
There was something about this book, or maybe the way the main character was written, that just did not agree with me. As a lover of noir fiction, horror fiction, vamp fiction, and practically any mix of those, I just did not feel like this one added up. Felix is a weak and unbelievable character, ...
