Book of the Week!
It's review time for Phantom Pleasures, the first book of Julie Leto's new Phantom series.
It's been a long time since I've read a ghost story and this is by far the sexiest ghost story I've ever read. The plot has wicked twists and turns that continue taking the story deeper and arousing anticipation for the next books in the series. Damon Forsyth is a delicious phantom trapped inside a cursed castle, and only Alexa Chandler can save him from the dark magic that has held him prisoner for centuries.
I love folklore, and Phantom Pleasures is steeped in romantic gypsy magic that promises to continue throughout the series. There's a well-crafted mix of historical and contemporary romance elements that lends depth to the novel that a lot of books don't achieve. The hero and heroine are explosive together and the threat outside the castle walls is complex enough to carry us well into the series. I'm looking forward to the second book, Phantom's Touch.
Next week I'll be reviewing First You Run by Roxanne St. Claire.

Book of the Week!
I haven't been reading enough lately. And that just SUCKS!!! I love to read and always have. Reading is what made me want to write books to begin with, and all writers need to read. If for no other reason, we need to keep up with market trends - assuming we're writing pop fiction and not creating fine literary art, of course.
So I'm going to try something, and I'm hoping some of you will play along with me. I'm going to commit to reading a book a week, and giving you all a brief review when I'm done. Wednesdays will be review days, and I'll also announce the book I'll be reviewing the following week, so you can give it a read too, if you'd like. This week I'm getting off to a late start, but hey, I'm feeling a little spunky! So this coming Wednesday, I'll let you know what I think of Julie Leto's new release Phantom Pleasures.
And to make it even more fun, I'll give away another of Julie Leto's titles as a prize to someone who leaves a comment. Sound like fun?
