For the last Cannonball, I reviewed books 1 and 3 in the Wallflowers series and enjoyed them; I was asked if I was going to read the Bowman sisters’ books? I am very glad I did, because Lillian’s book, It Happened One Autumn, is possibly my favorite of the four. To recap: the Wallflowers series is about four women who, for various reasons, are having trouble finding suitable husbands in their circles. The eldest, Annabelle, is from a respected family but has no dowry; she finds love in […]

Unmoved
The Unbroken trilogy is composed of three novellas about a group of young adult friends living in a small town in Texas. Each story is a very quick read that will probably take no longer than 2 hours for the average reader, and they’re very simple HEA (happily ever after) erotic romances that prominently feature insta-love and plenty of sex.

What a way to wrap up a great year of reading.
Ever the model of restraint, I took a wee break in between finishing object of my obsession Outlander and starting this, Dragonfly in Amber, the second book in the series. And what do you know!

And then I kept reading. Make no mistake: Diana Gabaldon is playing the long game. […]

Bedding the Wrong Brother is a serviceable contemporary erotic romance that is, importantly, free on Kindle. It’s a pretty short story, so there isn’t any particular lip service paid to anything like a “plot” or “character development.” What we know is this: our heroine, Melina, has known the Dalton twin brothers, Max and Rhys, since childhood. Melina went on to have a respectable life in academia, but never really came alive in the bedroom. Part of this is because she dated jerks, and it’s partly […]
