Going Deep by Anne Calhoun

Going Deep

I really, really enjoyed Going Deep by Anne Calhoun.  It’s an excellent blend of romance and mystery, and it features a bodyguard hero, which I love. In addition, it’s pretty much free of violence, so if you’re iffy on romantic suspense because you don’t like violent themes, then this book is for you. Cady Ward aka pop superstar Queen Maud, is returning to her hometown for the holidays. She’s exhausted from being on tour for … Continue reading Going Deep by Anne Calhoun

The SEAL’s Rebel Librarian by Anne Calhoun

The SEAL’s Rebel Librarian

During a recent podcast with Molly O’Keefe, I learned about this novella, and really, who can resist the bundle of title temptation that is The Navy SEAL’s Rebel Librarian? Not me, that’s for sure. I really liked this story. Alas, it suffered from one of the major hurdles of novella-ing in romance: the hero and heroine didn’t know each other prior to the start of the story. That’s a lot of progress to make in a short time … Continue reading The SEAL’s Rebel Librarian by Anne Calhoun

The Devil’s Doorbell by Anne Calhoun, et al

The Devil’s Doorbell

The Devil’s Doorbell is an erotic anthology made up of seven stories by authors that I’ve heard of and/or read. The stories are all contemporary but they aren’t really connected, save for the explanation of “the devil’s doorbell.” Each story has some reference to the fact that “the devil’s doorbell” is another term for a woman’s clitoris. Recently, I was going through a heavy reading slump and an anthology seemed exactly what I needed. I … Continue reading The Devil’s Doorbell by Anne Calhoun, et al

Time for the last Sizzing Summer Book Club selection to mark the official end of summer (here in the northern hemisphere anyway).

Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun

Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun

Seems like cougars are the new black: I think there are three new TV shows this fall about older women and younger men, pointing to a cultural fascination with the experienced female and young energetic male pairing. Much of the portrayals I’ve seen in the promotional trailers and ads for these shows seem superficial at best and uninteresting – and the idea of tension based merely on age difference and maturity does nothing for me. … Continue reading Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun

The Devil’s Doorbell

The Devil’s Doorbell

A woman’s pleasure is a dangerous thing. A primal appetite that, once awakened, can never be sated. A secret that gives power to those who know it. A magic that, once unleashed, can never be contained. Some say the clitoris is the devil’s doorbell, set to summon him forth at the merest touch… It’s time to ring the bell. Here are seven tales of sexual empowerment and erotic defiance, featuring the hottest storytellers of erotic … Continue reading The Devil’s Doorbell

Featured image for “It’s Not Really Like That” or How We Talk To Girls About Sex - A Guest Post from

 Molly O'Keefe prevously wrote about her love of Bruce Springsteen, and is back with a discussion of how she – and we – learn about sex. I never had a discussion with my parents about sex. Or even a vague and confusing birds and the bees conversation. Which is odd considering my dad was a high school health teacher and my mom was a nurse. Instead what I got was a musical montage of pornography, … Continue reading “It’s Not Really Like That” or How We Talk To Girls About Sex - A Guest Post from
