Author Crystal Green
4.5 Star Review from Romantic Times - Crystal Green's Good to the Last Bite (4.5) has the erotic pull of the vampire tale with a romance to sweeten the story.
Romantic Times - One for the Road (4.5), by Crystal Green, has a wonderful, wildly romantic, wounded hero; hot, sensual sex; complicated relationships; and a heartwarming plot.
Author Elaine Levine
4 Stars, Romantic Times
First-time author Levine draws on classic western themes and a rugged backdrop like a veteran of the genre. Her realistic characters leap from the pages yet never supersede the emotionally charged romance. The western is alive and well with authors like Levine.
Author Anna Louise Lucia ~ 4.5 Stars Romantic Times

"Good character development - Kier, especially, goes through a sea chance - and a riveting plot make RUN AMONG THORNS an excellent read. The first section of the book is devoted to the battle of wills and emotions between Kier and Jenny, the second the run for their freedom, maybe even their lives. I don't know which part is more intense or exciting, just that the action is non-stop. The addition of three important minor characters enhances the whole. One is a vacillating Agency employee, another is the ruthless man sent after Jenny and Kier, the third is Jenny's brother, an intriguing fellow in his own right. Give RUN AMONG THORNS a chance to thrill you; you'll be glad you did."

Author Misty Evans ~ Rating: 4 Cups!
“This is a top notch romantic suspense…The characters in this story fulfill their roles perfectly, strong, heroic, and of course, dangerously sexy. Ms. Evans takes you on a wild ride, one that you will hate to see end. I will await her next installment of Super Agents with great anticipation.”

4 Stars, Romantic Times
TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT (4) by Kylie Brant After three years on the run, Lindsay Bradford lands in Metro City, where things go against her mantra of no close ties. She makes friends with Dace and Jolie, who > turn out to be SWAT team members and set her up with colleague Jack Langley. The attraction between Jack and Lindsay is electric, something Lindsay can't afford. When she lands in a hostage situation, the past comes to her front door, and Jack's not about to let her face it alone. This addition to the Alpha Squad trilogy is filled with nonstop action and a couple with sizzle that zings right off the page. But at the core is a terrific story about a woman who's finally able to be herself after years of hiding both literally and figuratively.
Author Linda Wisdom
"With clever writing, a high sensuality factor and an unfettered imagination, Wisdom makes a sparkling entry into lite urban paranormals." Publisher's Weekly review of 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover
"Wisdom, no stranger to romance fans, delivers a striking opening salvo in her new paranormal series... a zany, hot read." Book List
"Longtime series author Wisdom makes a wickedly fun jump into the supernatural realm. Offbeat characters -- including Irma, the ghost who haunts Jazz's car -- offer insight into this highly intriguing new heroine. The balance of danger,adventure and the supernatural is excellent. With characters as rich and challenging as these, let's hope we haven't seen the last of them." Romantic Times
Author Denise Agnew
“Every book I have ever read by this talented author has grabbed me during the first engaging paragraph, and the strong pull only escalates with each new scene...Ms. Agnew has a gift for crafting breathtaking scenes, whether from distress or joy, and her talent is evident on every page of CLOSE QUARTERS.” Amelia, Ecataromance.com
“Bridge Through The Mist is a time travel novel with a bit of a different twist. I loved the attention to detail that was not overpowering but a quiet theme running behind the scenes throughout the book...The characters are very realistic. I had no trouble believing Alenna was a modern woman who suddenly found herself bound by the constraints of the early fourteenth century...secondary characters are so utterly alive they make this book a must read. I highly recommend Bridge Through The Mist.” Karen Hass, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
Author Stacia Kane
"Kane's clever story is packed with supernatural action and unique characters. The heroine has made some powerful enemies in the past, and they return with a vengeance. She also has a nice love interest going, and it zings with sexual tension. Surprises throughout keep tension and high and the pages turning as it all comes to a satisfying conclusion."
4 Stars, Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine
"From demonic bodyguards with accents that seem uncannily like Cockney at times to how sometimes shrinks are literally the tools of demons, Personal Demons is so much fun from start to finish. This story has plenty of playful tongue-in-cheek humor that doesn't derail the story into irreverence nicely balanced with some effective moments of scares, thus making it a most readable one. Megan is a nice heroine because she's realistically tough in a situation that she is out of depths in and she is a pretty smart one as well."

Author Mark Henry
“Urban chic, sarcastic wit and cannibalism mesh in Henry’s riotous new take on the underworld….a truly unique and wildly warped tale!” –Romantic Times Book Reviews
“Marvelously unique…the fabulously original storyline will keep readers’ rapt attention from the first page. A beautifully bizarre and uproariously fun read.” –Darque Reviews
"For an equally good love story and mystery, be sure to pick up Sharon Mignerey's book."
4 Stars, Romantic Times Book Reviews
"One of your earlier Harlequin books, “Cassidy’s Courtship,” is a favorite of mine so when I saw this current book offered at eharlequin, it went into my ecart.... “The Good Neighbor” is a relatively short book that zips along but that doesn’t mean that I felt shortchanged. Megan and Wade are both vividly drawn characters who fit solidly into the story." - Jayne, Dear Author

Wonderful reviews, Donnell! Such a great reminder of the terrific reading we've enjoyed throughout the year.
BTW, I love the reviews you posted by the sites. There are so many books available, I love having just few choices set before me : )
Happy New Year, everyone!

This is a great list of authors and books. I'm printing it off as a reference. Nice work, Donnell, compiling the authors' reviews!
Thank you to Five Scribes, and most especially Donnell, for supporting me and my fellow authors! You guys rock!!
Happy New Year.
Wow, I feel like I'm in great company! That's an awesome collection of reviews.
Thanks so much, Donnell, for putting this together.
Thanks so much, guys! If you notice, KL Grady did a lot of these interviews, and she did them well. I learned a whole new language through KL, including... what is your writing kryptonite. She's an author to watch in her own right, so keep an eye on Ms. Grady. Also, thanks so much for allowing us these interviews and getting to know you. I wasn't much into blogging before this, but I love getting to know you. Thank you and best wishes for a fantastic holiday!
Hey, Donnell, takes one to know one. All five of us are writers with strong storytelling kung fu (hmmm, story-fu?).
I'm delighted I had the opportunity to interview so many wonderful authors this year. Cheers to all!
Great reviews! I'm inspired!
