Romance Novel Reviews, Author Interviews, Commentary
New Releases: February 4-10, 2012
Title: Blood Oranges
Author: Caitlin R. Kiernan (writing as Kathleen Tierney)
Genre: urban fantasy
Release date: February 5, 2013 by Roc
Description:
My name’s Quinn.
If you buy into my reputation, I’m the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I’m an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever.
Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn’t commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was “saved” by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too.
So now…now, well, you wouldn’t think it could get worse, but you’d be dead wrong.

Interview with Robin Bielman + Giveaway
A couple of weeks ago I told you about this new trend I see emerging: the New Year’s Eve romances, and I mentioned that lately I have read two such romances, one of which was Yours at Midnight by Robin Bielman, which I loved! This was my introduction to Robin’s writing and I immediately took notice, trust me she’s an author to watch! SO I was very happy when I got the chance to interview her and get to know more about how the novel came to be. Please give the warmest welcome to Robin Bielman and read on, and pick up Yours at Midnight, I’m sure you’ll love it! 😉
Stella: Hi Robin, welcome to Book Lovers Inc! Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Robin: Hi Stella! Thank you so much for having me here today! Let’s see, I work part-time in the medical field, am …
The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Welcome to our bi-weekly rendez-vous of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?, where it’s safe to talk about the covers you love, hate or just don’t care one way or the other about. Just remember, we’re only talking about the covers and not judging the content of the books! Since I’m always pestering Susi about my Historical Romances, I thought we could take a look at what 2013 has in store for us in this genre. Historical Romance is not an easy genre for originality. Most of the time you get the same elements on these covers, same decor, same dresses (or same open shirt flowing in the wind *wink*). But even within these strict codes, a few covers are succeeding in catching my eyes. So let the judging begin! As you will see, Susi and I mostly disagree on these covers 😉
Caro: I think the first thing I …

Around the Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! For this edition, we have long anticipated cover reveals and title from Nalini Singh’s Psy Changeling series, as well as Ilona Andrews and Sylvia Day.
First up! John Scalzi has announced he is stepping down as SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) President later this year. However author, Jim C. Hines, has posted that already two authors have chucked their hats into the ring for the presidency, while Steven Gould looks like a good candidate, the other potential is Theodore Beale who is also known as the controversial blogger and writer, Vox Day who is behind some pretty sexist and trolltastic articles on women, which Jim has summarised and linked here. It will be interesting to see how this contest will go.
And mentioning Jim C. Hines, he has also spoken about the financial realities in writing genre fiction, which isn’t that profitable. Along …

Romance and Me: The Office Romance
Hey Everyone!
In today’s post I’d like to talk to you about another trope I like a lot: office romances!
There is just something so exciting about having colleagues, or a boss and his/her employee try to fight their attraction and then sneak around trying to keep their relationship secret 😀 For me “office romances” don’t necessarily mean the hero and heroine have to work in an actual office/boardroom, I expand this category to any two people working together and falling in love: they could be co-workers in a hospital, bartender and restaurant owner, wedding planner and cameraman, etc. My only requirement is that somehow their meeting was due to them having to do work together.
When thinking of the different “office romance” stories I looked through the books I’ve read and made a compilation of the office romance books I have …
