Sunshine tightly wound meets grumpy tightly wound, everyone comes undone

Wild Life by Opal Wei

November 30, 2023 by Emmalita 1 Comment

What happens when a burnt out, high strung cancer researcher runs into an anxious, handsome, recovering boy bander with a private island and a elderly cougar? Shenanigans, wild animal attacks, a massive storm, run-ins with the law, and the complete abandonment of The Plan. Zoey Fong already has an M.D., but she is in a prestigious doctoral program  to be a cancer researcher so she can cure cancer in kids like her sister. She hates her program, her lab mate, and the mug collection she […]

“Dr. Matthew Vine,” she said, then raised a mocking eyebrow. “The Third. How wonderful.”

Book Mail from Jake!

November 27, 2023 by Emmalita 3 Comments

Thank you! I’m so excited to add to my Murderbot Diaries collection and I get a new book to discover. Sure, I already have Artificial Condition as an ebook and an audiobook, but what if the internet disappears, or, more likely, I don’t have access to wifi and I need the wit and wisdom of SecUnit? I’ve heard of Ross McDonald, but haven’t read any of the classic mystery writer’s work. I’m looking forward to finding out more about “one of the most intricate plots […]

Horny Dragon Book

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

November 15, 2023 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I am very fond of Kit Rocha’s books. When asked what they wanted readers to get out of their books, the two authors who make up Kit Rocha, Donna Herren and Bree Bridges, said hope and joy.

Their new series, Bound to Fire and Steel, is pure romantasy (fantasy+romance). […]

New York City is about to be invaded by a lot of honey badgers.

Born to be Badger by Shelly Laurenston

November 15, 2023 by Emmalita 4 Comments

Welcome to the 5th installment in Shelly Laurenston’s Honey Badger Chronicles, Born to be Badger. It has everything and everyone you loved from the first four books including the McKilligan sisters, Max’s teammates, violence, anti social behavior, inter species conflicts, and plot so bonkers it can’t be explained. This one also has a small child and puppies. Actually, the plot isn’t so bonkers it can’t be explained, but there is a lot of action as the plot unfolds. The plot is basically – someone is tying […]

  • Emmalita on “Would you please make haste with your mental breakdown. We have masculine flesh to consume.”I’m glad it was fun. I thought there might be a romance, but it could have easily have been between demon and host.
