Sara Brookes' latest release, Forged in Fire is a delightfully erotic book that I found really enjoyable.
Ms. Brookes has penned a fantastic book that blends romance with storyline. For me it could use more blending between the two. The characters are realistic, intelligent and interesting. The plotline is intriguing, fast-paced and charming. Overall I really liked this book and found it worth the read. This

Even though he’s a perfect gentleman who prides himself on knowing exactly what a woman wants—and when she wants it—he can’t keep away from her. One scorching kiss in a dark theater changes everything.

Hardware was a very enjoyable read. I really liked learning and watching Allison and Patrick as their relationship developed. Both of them progress together along the same time-line. I enjoyed the fact that the d/s was just in the bedroom and not out of it. There were no extremes and no humiliation. Allison stands up for herself and is independent. The dynamics between the two of them are very interesting. Al

Genre(s): Sci-Fi / Fantasy Romance
Midnight’s Ghost by Sara Brookes is a Science Fiction Romance. Ms. Brookes has an excellent flair for description and I could really visualize the space ship, Eidolon, as well as Taran, Wallace and Kerr.
Taran was a wonderful heroine, you could empathize with her in the loss of her father. Then when her former lover, Wallace, walked back into her life after 5 years and ask her to help him deliver Kerr,
