{Blog Tour} Review: SILK by Chris Karlsen + Giveaway

Posted 25 March, 2015 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Blog Tour, Giveaways, Reviews / 13 Comments

I’m a fan of novels set in Victorian England so I was instantly drawn to SILK’s story line and setting…who can say no to a murder mystery and the notorious Jack the Ripper?! Definitely not me… It didn’t hurt that the book has a lovely cover (yes I’m a cover hussy). It looks a bit romantic, yet gothic, which is exactly what you get from Chris Karlsen’s writing. But don’t be fooled, while there are some romantic elements weaved […]

Review: Black Rook by Kelly Meade

Posted 18 July, 2014 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Reviews / 12 Comments

Kelly Meade has solidified my love of werewolves with her refreshing new alphas of Cornerstone, the McQueens are beyond SWOON-WORTHY! Kelly Meade has definitely changed the game with her new world of werewolves. I’ve read plenty of books with werewolves, they’re my second favorite supe, but I haven’t come across anything like this fascinating world of loup garou and magic Meade’s created. World building can sometimes overpower a “first in a series” book, but I found myself devouring every detail […]

DNF Review: Ghouls Rush In by H.P. Mallory

Posted 24 June, 2014 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Reviews / 14 Comments

I’ll start off this review by saying that I very rarely mark a book DNF, I think I’ve only done it twice before this book so that says a lot. H.P. Mallory is not a new to me author, I’ve read most of the books in her Dulcie O’ Neil series. She tends to write lighter paranormal romances with plenty of humor which I enjoy reading from time to time. I didn’t love every book in that series but was […]

Jane Lark has rekindled my love of historical romance with THE SCANDALOUS LOVE OF A DUKE! Being the cover hussy I am, I will admit I was instantly drawn to this book’s cover while browsing through NetGalley, needless to say I was ecstatic when I was approved.
