Comments on: A Lick and a Promise by Jo Leigh http://dionnegalace.com/wordpress/2006/07/04/a-lick-and-a-promise-by-jo-leigh/ it's not chick porn Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:31:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Robin http://dionnegalace.com/wordpress/2006/07/04/a-lick-and-a-promise-by-jo-leigh/#comment-3890 Thu, 06 Jul 2006 02:36:00 +0000 http://dionnegalace.com/wordpress/2006/07/04/a-lick-and-a-promise-by-jo-leigh/#comment-3890 I had never read Jo Leigh until Arm Candy, which a friend recommended to me. I loved that book, but haven't read a Leigh book since that gave me the same warmly satisfied feeling. Maybe I'll try this one, though. I like Leigh in general, though, because she writes smart, snappily-written, HAPPY Romance, which, IMO, is no small accomplishment these days.

Really liked it. It's one of my favorite Blazes. Is she the one with the piercings, too? I’ve read this one, too. Really liked it. It’s one of my favorite Blazes.

Is she the one with the piercings, too?

I've always loved that expression. I 100% agree about wanting to read a simple love story without all of the by now tired paranormal constructs and gimmicks. What really gets me is that so many of the stories are the same yet the authors seem to think they've invented the wheel. Of course there are still some wonderful paranormal writers but there's such a huge pile of crap to wade through to get to them. I usually don't read stories with "sassy" or "feisty" heroines but this one has piqued my interest. I might have to go on the hunt for this book. Thanks for the review, Bam.

A Dash of Temptation is an older one in that series and it's a favorite too. That one also has a curvy heroine.

Especially creepy was that New Arrivals tag you posted a week ago with those disembodied baby feet. Ick! Stuff like that says: run! Anxiously waiting for you to skewer me. No paranormal stuff, but if you like what you see I've got an even flame-worthier collection with an absolutely ick! cover for you. It wasn't even done especially for the book, but some dreadful digital artwork the publisher had lying around.
