Amanda Quick holds a special place in my romance-reading heart because she was my gateway author. It was her straight-up early historicals that showed me strong, smart female characters with agency, interesting and smart male heroes who were more than Alpha he-mans, engaging external plots, and humor (the last was a big influence on me). … Continue reading
Please welcome Daniel de Lorne, author of M/M paranormal romance. His debut vampire tale BECKONING BLOOD comes out May 1, and it looks hot! What do you think? A gripping, blood‐drenched saga about twin brothers, the men they love, and the enduring truth that true love never dies – no matter how many times you … Continue reading
I’m a little ashamed that it’s taken me this long to pick up The Iron Hunt. I’ve always thought Marjorie M. Liu’s Hunter Kiss series looked like just the kind of dark urban fantasy I love, with unique world-building and unusual characters. What finally got me to pull the trigger? The final book in the series (Labyrinth of Stars) … Continue reading
Happy Monday…or is that an oxymoron? I’m over at My Book Addiction today, taking part in a talk about serial novels (with a giveaway, so check it out), so I thought I’d bring that discussion here as well. Just to bring you up to date, a serial novel is a full-length novel released in “episodes,” … Continue reading

The idea that two wolves/bears/dolphins/whatever so much as sniff each other and suddenly BAM! they are head over heels, they are going to the chapel, or at least ready to get … Continue reading
Happy Monday Dear Readers! Celia here. I’m pleased to welcome my editor at Champagne Books, Cassiel Knight to the Paranormal Unbound blog. Cassie writes paranormal romance with, as her Web site tagline puts it, “Kick-Assitude.” My new favorite word. 🙂 Cassie joins us today with a walk down Paranormal Romance Memory Lane. Take it away, … Continue reading
Since warm weather is coming–the season of reading on sunny porches, in breezy coffee shops, and in tropical places where the drinks come with umbrellas–and I’ve been filling my Kindle (not that it needed to be filled, but who cares about that?) with fun new reads. I thought today I’d share a mix of what I’ve just … Continue reading
I bought this because a) it had a cool cover; and b) the first page was intriguing. Same reason I buy most books, really. And I’ve had a bit of a thing for good old BFF (big fat fantasy) lately. The world in Promise of Blood has magic, and gunpowder. If you’re a Powder Mage, … Continue reading
