YA paranormal romance -- without vampires!

This book, "Minder" by Kate Kaynak sounds like a winner and I'm anxious to read it. See http://www.site.ganzfield.com/Home.php

Sometimes, well, I'm interested in a paranormal romance without fallen angels or werewolves, that have more to do with the MIND rather than other-worldly kinds of things. One of the things I've read about this book (it's first in a series) that I find utterly…

Review: Darkness and Light

Author

Kathryn Nichole

Publisher

Outskirts Press

This story touches back into the past to show us the strong attraction of love at first sight. It shows how those in our lives can interfere with our choices in love and cause more heartache for all involved. This was the case for Sage, whom back in that past time, had the love of her life stolen from her and was turned by her father, into a vampire against her will for survival. Sage returned to Egypt where she took up… Continue

Bride series, by Nora Roberts

I have on hold at the library (but haven't picked up yet!) "Savor the Moment," by Nora Roberts. It's part 3 of the Bride Quartet series. I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying this series. It is just wonderful. It's about 4 life-long friends who are running their own business, Vows, which naturally is about the wedding business. The first book in the quartet was about the photographer, the second, the florist. The third (the one I'm going to get later) is about the cake and sweets designer and… Continue

Author Why Women Love Reading Romance

Romances were strictly written as prose starting as early as the 13^th century. But I think it’s pretty safe to say true romance began after Eve ate the apple in the Garden of Eden and ticked off Adam. He had to do some real “wooing” back then to populate the world and according to scholars he lived to be 930 years old.

It has become such an inherent part of our society that as little girls we fantasize about a…

Author Romance 101

Let's face it. When it comes to romance, Cupid isn't going to be there to help us salvage our relationships or create one. Some people naturally seem to have all the right moves, while others are more romantically challenged. If you

happen to fall into the latter category, don't worry. There is hope.

The following are 10 simple suggestions to help kick-start your R.Q.,

a.k.a. your romance quotient:

1.… Continue

Author The Makings of a Great Romance Series

Personally one of the key elements I think is finding a genre that fits with your comfort level. There are so many categories to choose from that include erotica, paranormal, historical, contemporary, thriller, sci-fi, futuristic, regency, horror, mystery … it’s crazy yet, awesome! And as a writer, you have to decide from the start what the level of intimacy will be between your main characters. I prefer not to be vulgar but create… Continue

Review: Silentheart

Author

Roberta D. Hoffer

Publisher

AuthorSolutions

Mrs. Hoffer has presented Silentheart, the first book of a new Vampire trilogy, in a manner that if adults did not care for the pandemonium of the Twilight Saga, then this would be the next exciting paranormal romance to choose. I found that I was immediately caught up in this unwinding, twisting story and I thoroughly enjoyed…

Crusade Against the Grail: The Struggle between the Cathars, the Templars, and the Church of Rome

I give this first English translation of Rahn's book only four stars as opposed to five due to it's beginning, 'Parcifal'. A long, convoluted histriography of English and French noblemen is given that in short, to me, is bordering on the incomprehensible.

The text moves along, though, to the Cathars at the turn of the thirteenth century in the south of France. The 'pure ones' profess God is Love, and a Spirit, and that the Heaven we long for is beyond the stars. Flesh is separated from…

Naked in Death

As NYPD Lt. Eve Dallas races to find a serial killer, she becomes very

involved with one of the suspects. Her overpowering feelings for a man

she barely knows could jeopardize her investigation, her faith in

herself--and her life.

REVIEW: I can't tell you how many times I have read this book over the

years, but no matter how many times I read it, it remains on of my

favorite books.

It has been at least 3 years since the last time I read this book,… Continue
