Reviewers:

Mildred Burkett

Lauren Calder

Lauren has been a reviewer with AdC since 2005. She works with real estate and as a photographer in her spare time -- when she is not reading, sewing or crafting, cooking and baking, playing sports, swimming, or anything else that keeps her mind occupied. She enjoys reading all types of fiction and non-fiction. Being a history buff, she favors historical novels that wind history into the fiction romance.

Danielle Christie

Danielle Christie grew up in the sleepy beachside town of Satellite Beach, Florida. A true Floridian, Danielle has lived all along the Florida coastline, never venturing too far away from the steady ebb and flow of the ocean. Even though she is happily tethered to her home, Danielle seeks out new adventures far and wide as frequently as she can. She has always enjoyed picking up a good book and being lost in a craftily spun story. When she’s not engrossed in a good book, Danielle tries to keep up with her Jack Russell Terrier, Volkswagen loving husband, and nineteen amazing students.

Marilyn Anita Dalrymple

Sheila Griffin

Sheila Hendrix

I'm 47 years old. I'm a nurse who works at a psychiatric hospital part time and nursing home full time. I'm in school for paralegal. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is read. I always have a book going and I love a lot of different genres. My favorite is romantic suspense, and paranormal romance but I'll read almost anything.I'm also the author of a young adult book series entitled, The Dark Circle. Book one in that series is The Betrayal and was just released. I love to write, travel, garden, swim and camp. Some of my favorite authors is Helen Graham, Nora Roberts, Sherrylin Kenyon, Sherryl Woods, Melissa Mayhue, Lynn Kurland, and Shannon K. Butcher to name a few but there are so many more. Some of the authors I found while doing book reviews for Affaire de Coeur and Reader to Reader.

Danielle Hill

Danielle Hill is a single bibliophile in her thirties who lives in Texas. She has more books than she knows what to do with, but can’t seem to say no to the ones she doesn’t own. She a Christian, loves movies and television, animals and gardening, arts and crafts, making and eating desserts, creative writing, and writing and talking about books.

Lacy Hill

My name is Lacy and I love words, whether written, spoken, or thought. So, it’s not so surprising that I spent most of my time reveling in words both in my spare time and in my job. I love reading books and fiction, predominantly romance, listening to music, watching TV shows and movies. I’m a writer and editor, a job I love because I work with words and the expression of thought. When I’m not doing any of those things, you are likely to find me writing, swimming, dancing, learning to play guitar, or playing Rock Band/Guitar hero.

Mallory Lane

I am blissfully addicted to books and firmly believe that the only ones worth reading are those that sweep me away to another time and place. Books allow me to travel to far away lands and do the kinds of things I’d never get to experience otherwise. Whether the wee feisty bride of a medieval Highland Laird or the bonded mate of an edgy, sexy vampire, I don’t allow a day to go by without spending some time living a fantasy, the kind to be found on the pages of books.

Lani Roberts

Dera Williams

Paul Zunino

Elizabeth Anne

I am a single mother to a wonderful four year old. We read together all the time. My love for books was not love at first sight. My mother loved to read and believed that it was important that I did too. It wasn't long before I fell in love with it, per her insistence. After I caught the "reading-bug" I never stopped. Reading is a big thing in my family. When I was younger my go-to genre was always paranormal, or anything with the slightest bit of magic. Even today it is one of my favorite genres but I do occasionally read things that are outside of my comfort zone.
