Please note that for now I decided to focus on her series that I love and not make a full list of her rather extensive backlist. Also this list includes titles from her Amanda Quick & Jayne Castle AKAs.Read More →
Because I have so many things I want to do on the site right now but my life has been chaos lately. Seriously it’s gotten so bad that I finally had to sit down and go over the “in-progress” stuff I’m supposed to be working on for the site. Mainly because I couldn’t remember some of them and wanted to make sure I still wanted to work on them right now. Oye. Which kind of turned into an idea for a post. I don’t like doing these “a little bit of everything” posts because I prefer to concentrate on one thing at a time butRead More →
The Bridal Jitters novella introduces Jayne Castle’s world of Harmony but that world truly begins to take shape in the two book story of Lydia Smith & Emmett London called After Dark and After Glow. While writing this post I have gone back and forth on whether to talk about these two books separately or together.

So here goes. dust bunnies are simply adorable The most striking thing up front is that dust bunnies make their debut in After Dark (and by association After Glow) and they are truly winners.Read More →

Because she’s single-handedly managed to drag me kicking and screaming – okay, not exactly screaming but definitely reluctantly – out of my self-imposed hiatus with a recent post on a Jayne Ann Krentz book called Random Romance Sunday: Jungle Love. And even that probably wouldn’t have done it for me it I hadn’t already been mulling over the craziness of a recent purchase of mine. Here’s the thing, I’ve been seriously thinking lately on filling out my collection of Krentz’s backlist, all AKAs. Notice the word “collection” there. This isn’t so much a reader thing, as it is a collector thing, although I do love her current Jayne Castle books. Anyway, last week, I think itRead More →
I was in and out of the doctor’s office so fast I barely had time to get the book out of my bag, much less read anything. Truly amazing considering I as in for a yearly physical. OTOH, I think I’ve figured out part of the reason why I’m having so much difficulty reading this one. It’s the horse racing theme. Now normally something esoteric like that would grab my attention but I’m not a horse person and I just remembered I had problems getting into Demon’s book, too. So, I am seriously considering either pulling out another one of hers to reread – I’mRead More →
