Title: Curious Minds Authors: Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton Series: Knight and Moon #1 a fun romp with an intriguing plot but leaves one wanting something more This book seemed to come out of nowhere; Janet and her co-authors are all in the middle of series already, so the last thing I expected was a new one. Maybe the Lizzie and Diesel series isn’t selling like they hoped. Regardless, it’s an Evanovich book, so I was game. And overall, it …

If you’re a Robards fan, you’ll love it. If you’re new to Robards, I recommend starting this …
Title: Ravishing in Red Author: Madeline Hunter Series: Rarest Blooms #1 a little cliche, otherwise fantastic! worth reading This book had just about everything—a plucky heroine, a down-to-earth hero (or at least in the last three books he’s the most reasonable of the four), a scene involving a gun, an original reason for how the women knew each other (at least to my knowledge), steamy love scenes, intrigue, a wealth of historical detail (though the extent of my knowledge cannot …
