Five faves read in 2012!


A Lady Awakened by Cecelia Grant

The careful slow dance of these two characters as they get to know each other and slowly discover themselves was so wonderful. A book I cherished and learned a great deal from. Fabulous.

Lothaire by Kresley Cole

A deliciously evil hero and a massively interesting and fun book.  I so loved how creatively the back and forth went, how the balance of power between the H/H shifted so interestingly.  The richness and twists within those sex scenes, how they advanced and deepened the plot - it blew my socks off.


Beyond Eden By Kele Moon

One of the most explosive and emotional erotic romances I've read in a long time. This book was nothing short of thrilling. My jaw was just hanging open about two-thirds of the way through for how high Moon twists the plot. It may be a bit hardcore for some, but I'd feverishly, breathlessly recommend it!


Dune by Frank Herbert

I finally got to Dune this year.  It is so amazing and absorbing, just in terms of the layers, the thought, the world building. Really quite a panorama of a book with so many characters to love, and everything pitch-perfect.

Ice Storm by Anne Stuart

I can’t believe I waited so long to read this! Anne Stuart’s ICE series is one of dark, amoral heroes working for the shadowy “Committee” and it’s  100% riveting. This book is the story of their leader, Isobel the Ice Queen, and an old flame, who happens to be none other than the most dangerous man in the world.
