So, I got this message from Mrs. Julien, she who calls herself Prolixity, “Miss Katie, would you like to borrow a book?” My curiosity was immediately piqued. Obviously. My reply was instant, “Of course!” That is how I came to read The Deal by Elle Kennedy. It also came with this ringing endorsement, “[emmalita] and I enjoyed it very much.” How could I NOT read it at this point? Disclaimer: I didn’t truly understand what this New Adult business was all about. It just seemed […]
Someone’s got a secret…
…but I’LL never tell. Xoxo Annwyl the Bloody has problems. She can’t decide if her terrible name or her homicidal half-brother is a bigger pain in the ass. I’m leaning toward the former, if only because it sounds like she has serious problems with her cycle. In actuality, it’s probably her brother since he and his men are always trying to kill her. In fact, that’s the true source of “the Bloody” portion of her name – more often than not she’s got the blood […]
It’s getting hot in here (so hot!)
WARNING: Alisha Rai’s GLUTTON FOR PLEASURE is an erotic romance with a higher percentage of scorching hot sex scenes than your usual romance novel. As in, probably 60-70% sex scene. If that is not what you’re looking for, put the book down and back far away, far, far, away. You may want to find one of those silver fire suits or asbestos gloves at the very least. This book will scorch your fingers right off. Devi is the youngest of three sisters from an Indian […]
I really should leave well enough alone
Since my writing partner/snark enabler is on an island in the Caribbean for a month, I’m on my own for writing reviews. At first I thought I’d just wait it out and start reviewing again when she gets back from paradise, but my fingers have been itching to type and my mind starts writing reviews before I even finish the book. Evidently Cannonball Read can become an addiction. Who knew? On to the important part of today’s entry: I thought Susan Johnson’s Love Storm was […]
Daring? Not really, but a lot of fun.
Katie: After the debacle that was the shark shifter book, I felt like a palate cleanser was in order. LB Gregg’s sequel to Catch Me If You Can, Trust Me If You Dare, seemed like just the ticket – and it was, just as expected. I love that the author uses feisty to describe a male character. It’s not actually a gender specific word, but is so often used that way – especially in romance. And, let’s face it, Saysahr is nothing if not feisty. Now […]
In which I review a collection of works by a self-published author
Today, I’m going to be reviewing three works by self-published author Marlene Sowder. The first, described as stories to tickle your frontal lobe, Candy Dish is a collection of short stories – each 500 words or less. There were some interesting ideas and the author clearly respects the power of language and knows how to leverage the same in creating sound plot structures and narratives. The thing is, and this is a matter of personal preference that reflects more on me than the writer, I […]
