review 1: Oh my! This is such a fabulous story - I couldn't put it down! The fantasy world, the relationships between all the people, the fantastic villain(s), all of it added together to a wonderful reading experience. I loved how Areau had such fantastic inventions and even though I hate...

review 1: This almost felt like a different kind of Amy Lane to me. It still had the great story telling, angst and the obligatory parent issues, but it was softer and gentler in a way. (I don't know, maybe it was just me.) There's something about her stories that always leave me feelin...

review 1: Can you expect anymore from an Amy Lane novel other than spectacular? I think not. She as done it again and I was captured yet again into such a lovely world. Hammer and Air was short, sweet, and simple. A classic fairly tale. I enjoyed the simplicity of it. The rustic settings a...

review 1: What I really liked about this series is that Brian and Talker chose to grab and fight for love and happiness instead of living in past hurts and pain, giving in to fear, insecurity, and hate, and giving up. Brian grasped the gift of loving Talker and being loved by Talker when h...

review 1: City Mouse by Amy Lane and Aleksandr Voinov is a fast paced well written book that I just couldn’t put down. Malcolm and Owen are perfect together and have a chemistry that just jumps off the pages. I liked how they complement each other with their personalities. They are opposi...

review 1: Sad and beautiful all at once. This is a tale about a small-minded town and it's residents and the bravery of one young man to stand up to them all and admit to being gay - despite everything that has happened.I loved Peter's character - how he was true to himself, even when it w...

review 1: Me causa placer cuando puedo encontrarme con un libro en el que se percibe con claridad la mano particular de su autor, en especial cuando es uno que aprecio tanto como Aleks. Country Mouse es dulce, sexy, y con unos diálogos tan inteligentes que sostienen al libro por sí mismo, ...

review 1: I have a weird fascination with retold fairy tales and have read many different versions of them including a lot of variants of Beauty and the Beast. I did like this variant with Naef and Aerie-Smith, it was a bit different and I found it interesting but I couldn't find an emotio...

review 1: As usual, Amy Lane wrote a good story. It's just that I had no real interest in racing, so a large portion of this book held no real appeal to me. The characters were extremely well done, and I loved how broken they were (and how they tried to piece each other back together), but...

review 1: Oy, that was a tough one for me to get through. It's hard to pull off angst when the reader doesn't care about the main characters. I know I used to like Jeremy and Aiden. I think I lost whatever affection I had for them in the 18 months which have passed since I read the last ...

review 1: I dont think I've ever been more relieved to know that everything was going to be ok than I was when I finished this book! The two main characters know each other from when they were very young. And neither of them has had an easy life, but through it all they love each other. ...

review 1: Tate is so different than you would think when you imagine how he looks. His tattoo's are so intimidating. I mean how many people have tattoos on their face? But its really just camoflauge. He was burned very badly as a child and tries to hide his scars with the ink, the hair...

review 1: Oh my, how to begin. I almost became a DNF with this one. The first 1/3 was slow and unengaging, that bad. OK, the guy had a traumatic experience, we won't give you any details, he's in the closet, hiding behind a girlfriend. But and that's a big but, the second about 2/3 of the ...

review 1: Although I definitely prefer Amy Lane's angstier stuff, I still found this one to be a lot of fun. I loved Jace's fierce love and possessiveness of Quent. I loved the determination that Jace displayed in solidifying the relationship. I loved that there was never a doubt really...

review 1: I like the first part of the story, their encounters in the elevator. I like how they started communicating, Sean's friends, and how competent Zach is. The 'dings' were placed really well so they had enough time to realize what they want and need and at the same time not to have ...

review 1: This one felt a bit more fluffy than some of Lane's work, but had a lot of the elements I love in her work. The characters, both main and secondary, were quirky and appealing. There were a couple of meaty 'villains' to rail against and rally around the major characters because of...

review 1: This was a quick and fluffy read. Had the obvious Happy Ever After at the end. I really wish there was more depth to it. I would like to have experienced more than just the relationship part. For example, when they go out and recruit, or when they go out to protect and such. ...

review 1: I am confused--there seems to be a single listing for both a free short story and a not-free novella with the same title by the same author. Is that correct? I liked them both. It would be great if we would get them separate listings in goodreads. Some readers who liked the short...
