This review was written by Sarah Elsewhere. This story was nominated in the Best First Book and the Best YA Romance category. The summary: Tessa doesn't believe in magic. Or Fate. But there's something weird about the dusty unicorn tapestry she discovers in a box of old books. She finds the creature woven within it compelling and frightening. After the tapestry comes into her possession, Tessa experiences dreams of the past and scenes from a brutal hunt that she herself participated in. When she accidentally pulls a thread from the tapestry, Tessa releases a terrible centuries old secret. She also…

Jude Deveraux is one of the classic names in historical romance, and is one of the first authors I glommed when I discovered romance. I still re-read her books, but for someone who is curious about Deverax’s books, which one would you recommend first? Knight in Shining Armor is among her most-beloved titles, and one of the best time-travel romances I’ve ever read. I never understood why the heroine’s shopping spree only included formal clothing in that one scene (though I still think wool challis skirts are the HEIGHT of posh fashion because of that scene). But then there’s also…

Every now and again I post Book Rants, where people email me for many, many kilobytes about a book that set their pants on fire in a bad way. Today I have a guest review that is mostly in the form of a Book Squee, lest you think we don’t squee enough around these here parts. Tina C. would probably flail her arms and jump up and down if forced to give this review out loud. Tina wrote, I just finished a book, Warped, by Maurissa Guibord, that I downloaded from our local library. It is a YA, which I…

At RWA, so many people told me how much they love the HaBOs - or that their spouses and partners love hearing about them. You guys are like oracles of romance: you freaking know every one of these things. So here’s another from Janice, who has one from waaaaaay back in the day. I read a book about 24 years ago. yeah I know a real long time ago. Anyway it was probably one of my first time travel romance. Let my sister in law read it and never got it back. Starts off in modern France with and american…

I knew “Hot Tub Time Machine” wasn’t an original idea. From Margaret, we have this request for help: I found your site while looking for a book I read years ago and wanted to find again. I tried to find this book for my mom who loved it but she died before I could find it again. I would still love to get this book in her memory. I saw a question by “Karen” who wrote: “she had met a woman who was from our century who had fallen into a pond and ended up in their time and I…

Karen writes: For years I’ve been looking for this book that I read that I loved but I cannot remember the title, the name of the book nor the author! I’m pretty sure it’s part of a series but I don’t know for sure. Yesterday, my co-worker and I were talking about books and I was telling her about this book that I loved and wish I could remember anything about it and she had read it too, which I was stunned!! Okay, what I remember of the book - which may not be 100% accurate because I read it…

Stephanie, a lurker (hi lurkers!) asks: I am hoping you, and the bitchery, may be able to help me out. Do you know of any time travel romances along the lines of the Meg Ryan movie “Kate and Leopold”? I’m not picky about who does the time travel or which direction (hero to the future, heroine to the past or vise versa). There was a time when every third romance was a time travel. This was back in the days when there was a cardboard postcard in the middle of the paperback, either Zebra or Dorchester, and there would invariably…
