Romance History: Bertrice Small

Bertrice Small (b. December 9, 1937 in Manhattan, New York, New York, U.S.A.) is an U.S.American New York Times bestselling writer of historical and erotic romance novels. Married to George Small, they have a son.

"I took care of you," her husband, George, announced when she sold her first historical romance, "Now you can take care of me." And so she has: Small-Sunny to friends, for her cloudless disposition - supported their son and George, a former photographer who handles her business affairs from their Long Island home. Small's novels are epics featuring frisky, inexhaustible heroines. Skye O'Malley, her best-selling tale, tracks its 16th century Irish heroine through three marriages, a harem, a stint as a pirate, and a nasty grudge match with Queen Bess that leaves Skye to give birth to her fourth child in a chilly Tower of London. When prudes complain about the endless entwining and exploding, says Small, a former convent student, "I just tell them it's all in the Bible." Fans savor the details, down to beribboned underblouses and busks - "If you're going to undress a heroine," says Small, "you'd better damn well know what she's got on underneath."

Second Nature (Pawprints 2) by Anne Cain

In Pawprints Anne Cain told us a story about men who shifted in cats, and both in human than cat nature, the main character was sensual and mischevous like a cat. In Second Nature, Gabe is a dog, and like a very good and nice dog, he is iperactive and cute like a puppy. He loves to cuddle and he need to live in pack, even if the pack is only made of two person, him and his lover Hayden. But there is a problem, Hayden has a deep fear of dog, being bitten when he was still a child. And Gabe has not yet found the courage to reveal to his lover that he is in part what Hayden fears most.

Gabe and Hayden are former high schoolmates and now they share an apartment together during College. They have a pretty good life, full of love and bright moments. But something dark and ancient could bring them to a very dangerous situation.

Both the Pawprints books deal with paranormal events, but in the end the evil is not so evil, and the danger is not so fearful. Second Nature is a enjoyable read, a perfect rest and relax support to go bed with a smile on your face.

And as always Anne Cain did a wonderful work with this cover: I have the previous one in poster size and this one is nice like the others.
