I found myself with a weekend of no engagements, no ‘have to attend’ gatherings or commitments. A free weekend. Quite a commodity in my life. So I did what any normal woman would do finding herself sans commitments, I planned every waking moment and by Friday night it was all mapped out. I would start with an oil treatment to tame the split ends dancing around my face, a simple, yet elegant, do it yourself mani/pedi, and an oatmeal facial scrub to wash away the grime accumulated during this beastly hot NYC summer. But blast it all if Teresa Medeiros didn’t come waltzing into my life with nary a care and her latest release under her arm. Well, Teresa didn’t literally walk into my home, but her book sure did,…

I found a ‘must read’ in debut novelist Erin Kellison’s latest release “Shadow Bound”.  This book has been categorized as an urban fantasy/paranormal romance.  Personally I don’t think it can be categorized.  The plot and the writing are fresh and captivating, making this a book to put at the top of your list this summer.  See my review at the Barnes & Noble, Heart to Heart blog.

What makes a good romance?  For each of us it’s different – but for me it’s the characters. I enjoy stories where the characters are three dimensional and practically leap off the page.

I recently read Rosemary Laurey’s Kiss Me Forever and was swept away by the characters she created.  I was also delighted to have found this ‘new-to-me author’.  You can read my full review at Barnes and Noble Heart to Heart Blog.

There’s a new voice in western romance and it’s music to my ears.  Kaki Warner is the author of the Blood Rose Trilogy.

Pieces of Sky, the first in the series was released last year.  Open Country, the second in the series was released this week.  I loved both books and I’m talking about them over at the Heart to Heart blog at Barnes and Noble.

After three terrific years, lots of romances and hundreds of new found friends, we’re saying goodbye.  Marisa and I thoroughly enjoyed creating Romance Novel TV, meeting and interviewing authors we  admire and most of all the chance to meet all of you – the readers that stopped by every day to chat about the books we all love.

We can’t thank you enough, but we’d especially like to thank the women that helped create RNTV each week, Kati Dancy, Buffie Johnson, PJ  Ausdenmore, Stacy Ahlgren. Stacey Agdern, Gannon Carr,  Andrea Williamson and Kate Garrabant.  We couldn’t have done it with out them and it certainly wouldn’t have been half the fun.  Thank you ladies one and all for your tremendous contributions to the site. We also want to give special thanks…

Welcome and thanks for joining us for a week long discussion on The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker.

I loved this book and was enchanted with both the characters, the time period and the locale.  I’d like to start off by asking everyone what appeals to you about Victorian England and the concepts of ghosts?
