“Visions of Heat” by Nalini Singh
Dear Lola & Mimi,
Greetings from San Francisco! Alas my besties, my quest to hunt down the entire DarkRiver and SnowDancer pack has failed and I am on my way home. Please send either Juan or Sven to come pick me up at the airport. I’m the one wearing the bright orange jumpsuit. Long story, will explain later. I hope all is well back in the office, and that you haven’t converted my room into a shrine to Ted Bundy or a substandard video store consisting solely of bad B-grade mutant shark/octopus/mosquito/spider/crocodile movies. You know who you are. I learnt a few things while in San Francisco you know; which I may or may not have picked up while briefly in police custody. But again, will explain later.

“Overtime, Under Him” by by N. J. Walters, Susie Charles, and Jan Springer
With a title like “Overtime, Under Him,” tell me, how could I resist picking up this book? Sure, I was hoping for more of a conventional CEO-type thing, but hey, if it’s published by Ellora’s Cave, the nookie should be good right?
Yes and no. Yes, the nookie was scorch up the sheets hawt, but there were lots of moments when I exclaimed in my most genteel tone, “F*ck a duck!” Read on chickies, read on.

“The Phantom’s Opera” by Sadie Montgomery
Lola rustled her bodice, adjusting it so that it modestly clung to her navel. “OK Juan, you stand here.” She fixed the white half mask to Juan’s face and tenderly arranged the black cape to flow delicately over his body, clad in black boxers with little Phantom masks printed on them.

“Plain Jane” by Fern Michaels
Wow. La Lola took about 3 months to finish reading “Plain Jane” by Fern Michaels. And trust me, it wasn’t in a “Oh my God this book is so incredible that I want to savour every moment of it so that it’ll never end.” There were always more interesting books to read. Like the phone book. In fact, the one shining moment was when I finally reached the end of the book and could return it to the used book store and get 5 bucks back. Yeah, that was really the highlight.

“Power Play” by Deidre Martin
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of being Wild and Free. This is La Lola, and this is “The Wild and Free”.
Previously, on “The Wild and Free”….
Monica Geary, lead actress on America’s hottest soap “Wild and Free” (aka W & F) is in danger of being upstaged by a new actress with more cleavage than talent. Deciding that she needs more publicity, Monica needs to pretend that she’s in a relationship with a hot celebrity.

“Seduce Me at Sunrise” by Lisa Kleypas
It’s Dress-Up Night at the RMB offices, and in honour of “Seduce Me at Sunrise,” the theme for the night is “Gypsy Nights.” Lola, swathed in diaphanous silk and with thousands of bells tinkling away, swiped at the gauzy curtains, Sheridan following hot on her heels.
“Come in my dears,” crooned Mimi. “Tell Madame Mimi your worries, and ask away!”

“A Heart Full of Miracles” by Stephanie Mittman
“Lola, Juan’s made quesadillas for lunch! Are you comin—Lola?” Sheridan poked her head round the day, looking concernedly at Lola. “Errr… Lola? Is there a reason why your eyes are swollen like cantaloupes?”
“I’ve just finished another heart-twingey book! I know you don’t like Westerns, but this was so wrenching!” Lola sobbed. “Do you think you could get me 2 chilled spoons for my eyes?”

“Nauti Nights” by Lora Leigh
Frankly, I’m surprised that this book doesn’t come with its own warning label, complimentary oven mitts and a months’ supply of ice cubes. And the cover of the book should totally read “****WARNING! THIS BOOK SHOULD NOT BE READ UNLESS ONE IS SITTING IN OR ON A GLACIER (IN WHICH CASE WE HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY OF THE MELTING POLAR ICE CAPS)****” because that is how hot “Nauti Nights” is. It is hot, and yes my fellow readers, it is naughty. Or you know, “nauti”.

“Out of the Darkness: The Phantom’s Journey” by Sadie Montgomery
Amici! Since-a the last time, you all liked the French Lola so much (I not sure why, since everybody knows, the French, they eat frogs, and Italy with its canolli and hot blooded men, it is the place to be), I present to you— Italian Lola. That’s-a right. No-a need to thank-a me. I see Sheridan and Mimi crying in-a the corner! You see, they so happy, the tears of happiness come streaming down-a their face like lava at Mt Vesuvius.
