Jaid Black

 

 

Book Reviews:

 

Someone mentioned Jaid Black the other day and asked had I read any of her books. I know I had read quite a few, but could only remember Sins of the Father in that moment. It prompted me to look back in my e-book files and check out some of Jaid's titles and go through them once again. Here are few quick Romance Bytes and reviews on some of the stories I have previously read. I know some are pretty old, so I'll have to take a trip over to Ellora's Cave and she what's new on Jaid's list.

 

As I've gone through the list of books and remembered reading, I realized there were quite a few five heart books on this list. If you decide to go on a search of Jaid's books, I've marked the ones I would recommend that you read first with *****.

 

To find her books check out her Website at: www.jaidblack.com or Ellora's Cave at www.ellorascave.com.
