I kept putting off these reviews because I wanted to get more in-depth about an issue that kept popping up in them – around consent and authors drawing lines in the sand that they then continuously cross over – but my brain cannot manage to do those thoughts any more justice than what I’ve got here, so I’m just going to go with it at this point. This review is technically about three books, a set I grabbed for free off of Amazon a couple […]
Can we BBorS another hero? Please?
I had some issues with this next book. And when I say “some issues”, I really mean, I just did not like the ‘hero’ of the book, at all, in any way, and the way the author set up the book, I’m not sure she actually wanted us to? At the end of it all, I wrote in my notes “I’m so mad because this COULD be a good book. The writer is very good. The feminism is not.” And, look: I acknowledge that not […]
“That was, perhaps, the most unfeeling proposal she could imagine. The man was cynical, insensitive, condescending, rude. And she was definitely going to marry him.”
Guys this book? Is so good. That I’m mad that the next book in the series doesn’t come out for months. (MONTHS! August is a lot of months away.) It’s full of trope-y delicious nonsense, and ridiculous people, and stuff you know could never happen in real life, but who cares? Duke, hideously scarred in The War, loses fiancé and proposes a Marriage of Convenience to the Uppity Seamstress who dared ask for the funds he owes her for creating the lost fiancé’s hideous wedding […]
The Pressure to Pun is Too Much, so no pun.
It’s going to be hard to review An Affair to Dismember without saying in the vein of Janet Evanovich, because that’s one thousand percent true, but it’s also so trite – it is literally on the book cover, and the Amazon review I saw of the series that made me click on the free Kindle link. Which is kind of annoying, because they’re definitely right: I mean there’s for sure a Stephanie Plum, Bobbie Faye, name your favorite screwed up, clueless, somehow still manages to […]
Showing up late, hitting them all in one post
I’m just going to get this out of the way from the start – I read a lot of books this year. A lot. And I started a lot of reviews, because some of them were excellent, and some of them were horrible, and all of them were review worthy. But… between a completely not-user-friendly borrowed computer saga, the nonsense that is our entire world right now, and a year that would just not quit beating up on me and those I loved, well, not […]
Sneaking in another good one, before the deadline
And here we have a full Cannonball, completed at the last possible moment! That’s fine though, because I’m at least finishing up with an excellent book. Everyone Brave is Forgiven is the interwoven tale of three interesting and intrepid characters, set in World War II London. From their very first introductions, till the bitter end of the story, I was so involved with them that I genuinely worried for them, given the fact that they were, you know, in an active war zone and all.
