Review: Seducing Chaos by Luna Quinn

Jun 242016 by Laurel

Review: Seducing Chaos by Luna Quinn

Seducing Chaos is a Paranormal/Urban Fantasy romance written by a writing team going by the name of Luna Quinn. The story takes place in both a dystopian future and parallel universe. This is the first book intended in a full series, but this book can be read as a stand alone. The heroine, Sasha, is strong, independent, kick-ass and snarky. The hero, Razor,  is strong, independent, kick-ass and snarky. Already you must know that I enjoyed this … [Read more...]

Review of Dark Requiem (The Darkling Trilogy Book 3) by A.D. Koboah

Review of Dark Requiem (The Darkling Trilogy Book 3) by A.D. Koboah

First, this book cannot be read as a standalone. You definitely should read books one and two, Dark Genesis and Rising Dark, before diving into Dark Requiem. You can read my review of Book two, Rising Dark, here (http://romancenovelsincolor.com/review-of-rising-dark-the-darkling-trilogy-book-2-by-a-d-koboah). Book two left me in a whirlwind of emotions. The relationship between Luna and Avery was at a crossroads. There’s so much I can’t reveal … [Read more...]

Review of Rising Dark (The Darkling Trilogy Book 2) by A.D. Koboah

Review of Rising Dark (The Darkling Trilogy Book 2) by A.D. Koboah

First, let me say that if you haven't read the first book in this trilogy, Dark Genesis, you shouldn't read this novel. Seriously, do not read this book until you read Dark Genesis! It's available for free on Amazon. Who doesn't love a FREE read? Also, it makes sense to read them chronologically as Rising Dark is a continuation of book one. You'll thank me later. A little background if you will: In Dark Genesis, we're introduced to Luna, a … [Read more...]

Review of Ice and Peace by Clare Dargin

Review of Ice and Peace by Clare Dargin

Ice and Peace is the follow up to Cold Warriors. It’s book 2 in the Cold Warriors Universe series. First, a warning to potential readers, Ice and Peace should not be read if you haven’t read Cold Warriors. I think reading it as a standalone novel might be confusing. The story picks up with Caitlin and Medoro living on earth as a married couple. They try to settle into a life of normalcy but I still felt disconnected from them. I really … [Read more...]

Review of Cold Warriors by Clare Dargin

Sep 242014 by Roxy

Review of Cold Warriors by Clare Dargin

Cold Warriors is marketed as an atypical interracial romance, but I'm not certain that's an accurate description. The story follows Caitlin Driskoll, a former high school English teacher, and Medoro Keegan, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marines. Caitlin awakens from a cyrogenic statis 90 years in the future to find that the world as she knew it no longer exists. The reader isn't given much information about Caitlin's background or what life was … [Read more...]

Review of Nights of Steel by Nico Rosso

Mar 32014 by Roxy

Review of Nights of Steel by Nico Rosso

I love this book! Combining Steampunk and the Wild, Wild West makes this story so much fun to read. Anna Blue and Jack Hawkins are two people that you want to continue reading about, without having an end to the story. I could smell the old west and feel the grittiness because of the fantastic way Nico Rosso writes. Anna Blue is the kind of woman that legends of the Old West are written about. She is a bounty hunter who never likes to be … [Read more...]

Review of Her Black Knight by Vivi Dumas

Feb 172014 by Roxy

Review of Her Black Knight by Vivi Dumas

If I said I only liked this book, I would be doing it and myself a disservice. This was a beautiful story. I loved it from page one, to the last word. I wanted to be Gwyn; she was a feisty and fun heroine and her love interest, Morien, was an incredible knight in shining armor. He was from Camelot, she was from the 21st century, and they worked well together. This is a short story, and the only bad thing about it was that it had to end. … [Read more...]

Let’s Talk Romance: My Steampunk Obsession

Let’s Talk Romance: My Steampunk Obsession

Many authors will tell you that they are or were avid readers. What they don't' tell you is that they bitch and complain about their favorite genres or authors as much as you do. I am an author who loves writing contemporary and paranormal romances. They are my happy place and I love to read in those genres. However, they are not the ONLY genres I enjoy. For the last several months I've been on a Sci-fi and Space Opera romance binge that is … [Read more...]

Review of Bound as the World Burns by J.E. Keep & M. Keep

Feb 32014 by Roxy

Review of Bound as the World Burns by J.E. Keep & M. Keep

I couldn't give this book anything but a one-star review. I don't know whether it was because of the poor editing, the naivete of Cassidy, the female character, or how stereotypically Leon, the male character was written. There are only two people in the book, and I understand that the theme is survival after some kind of apocalyptic occurrence, but I just think Cassidy and Leon could have had more layers and depth instead of having sex right … [Read more...]
