When Asking A Goddess for a Boon, Be Careful How You Word Your Request

Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

I read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in Talia Hibbert’s the Brown Sisters trilogy, Get a Life, Chloe Brown.  Knowing that I would likely enjoy the second book, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, I put off reading it – as one does. This was both genius and foolish because, of course I loved it. I loved it even more than Get a Life. When Take a Hint opens, Dani Brown and her best friend Sorcha are performing a ritual, calling to the goddess Oshun. Dani wants […]

Not all Holidays are Christmas

Love All Year: A Holidays Anthology by Elizabeth Kahn

by Leave a Comment

I loved this anthology of holiday romance novellas.  I knew I would. When Elizabeth announced she was putting together an anthology of romances centered around non-Christian holidays, I knew she would put out a thoughtful and entertaining book. I’m hoping this will be the first of many Love All Year anthologies. All of the stories were lovely, each in their own way. I wasn’t ready for any of them to be done when I reached the end. For the most part, the stories were about […]

The Theme is Adventure

Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 by Rachel Kramer Bussel

by Leave a Comment

I didn’t entirely consider that I would be writing a review of erotica for the Cannonball Read audience when I requested Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 from NetGalley. I just thought about how much I wanted to read it. I got a copy of this arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t generally review erotica because to do so in a meaningful way would get rather more revelatory than I usually do. With an anthology […]

CBR Diversions – To Give a Book, or Not to Give a Book…

by 13 Comments

When I get a little money, I buy books; if any is left, I buy food and clothes. – Erasmus The season of gift giving holidays, including our own Holiday Book Exchange, is approaching. You have an excuse to buy books! That makes this the right time to ask you for your opinions on: Books to give as gifts, Book-related things to give the book lover who has already bought the book you were planning to give them, Gifts that you, a book lover, can […]

If You Aren’t Reading Ilona Andrews, You Should Be.

Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

I read this MONTHS ago and now I’m going to try to write a review, but there are two important things: If you have read Emerald Blaze, please join me in a squee for how excellent this was. I am so looking forward to the next book, even though it has been delayed because it’s hard to be creative when the world is falling apart. If you have not read Emerald Blaze, I assume you haven’t read the Hidden Legacies series and I must ask, whhhhyyyyyyyyy not? If […]

Springing the Tightly Wound Man is Cathartic

He's Come Undone by Emma Barry, Olivia Dade, Adriana Herrera, Ruby Lang, and Cat Sebastian

by Leave a Comment

I read He’s Come Undone months ago, so this isn’t going to be the best review I’ve ever written (probably not the worst either). I enjoyed it a lot, but at the time that I read it, it was all I could do to review my NetGalley books before their publication date. Writing a review of a book that didn’t come with an obligation was too much. The five authors in the anthology are all authors I have enjoyed very much. I can guarantee that the […]
