Opus 63 (actually 65) in three parts: Hop, Joker and High

November 24, 2015 by PattyKates Leave a Comment

Opus 63 in Three Parts: Hop, Joker and High.   Trixie: We are banging these out (no pun intended) in a single review and finishing this crazy ride that has been the Chaos Series. Kitty may or may not ever speak to me again. I may or may not ever speak to myself again.     C’mon,  Baby, Light My Fire     Kitty: Fire Inside, like Kristen Ashley’s other novels, features a lack of interpersonal communication on every level, a deep-seated conviction that all problems […]

Grunt. Posture. Hump. Repeat.

November 19, 2015 by PattyKates Leave a Comment

Kitty: Remember how we reviewed Kristen Ashley’s Motorcycle Man a short time ago? It’s because Trixie has taken it in her head that we need to compare self-published KA to published, polished and edited KA. Personally I think it’s because she derives pleasure from the mental and emotional distress it causes me. Trixie: Rule, review: Incomplete sentences. Communicate like men in books. No articles. Few verbs. Kitty: Own the Wind, the first in the Chaos series, is pretty much the epitome of KA terribleness. Shy, […]

Bad Motor Scooter.

November 17, 2015 by PattyKates 3 Comments

Kitty: Oh, dear friends… Patty talked me into reading Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley. Obviously she is a sadist and I am a damn fool. Five pages into the first chapter and Tyra, the heroine, is slut-shaming herself, “I’m embracing my inner slut.”, referring to a one night stand with a guy who turns out to be her new boss. Trixie: We need motorcycle gang old-lady nicknames for this one, Kitty. And I didn’t so much talk you into reading it as demanded that you […]

Holding out for a hero…

November 4, 2015 by PattyKates 8 Comments

Katie: Y’all, I want to give a shout out today to Patty for raising her Girl right. Being the great parent she is, Patty has gotten Girl started down the Judy Blume path. Being the great kid she is, Girl has some thoughts and feelings she’d like to share. Patty: Because PattyKates wasn’t enough of a departure, we’ve decided to do a review à trois with my daughter – who henceforth shall be referred to as Girl – being very careful to maintain a level […]

Chakra here, chakra there, chakra everywhere

October 20, 2015 by PattyKates 2 Comments

Patty: Confession Time: When I approached Katie with the idea of doing a joint review, it was supposed to be a one-time thing, my way of getting her to complete her Half-Cannonball as she had kind of been in a slump. We had a blast and have kept the momentum going (sorta) through shark shifters and carnies, lip biting and watersnakes, and 500 Shades of Crap. They haven’t all been bad, mind you, but somewhere along the line I started to wonder what the point […]

In which Patty and Katie are scarred for life.

June 20, 2015 by PattyKates 14 Comments

Katistasia: Our slogan should be “Reading crap so you don’t have to since 2015.” Oh, friends. We did something SO STUPID. We decided to read EL James’ Grey. It seemed like an excellent opportunity for snark. Evidently I’ve subjected us to 450 pages of lip biting. Pattistasia: I read the acknowledgements and already hate you. Katistasia: Not nearly as much as I hate myself. I NEED TO GOUGE MY EYES OUT. Seriously though, how can you claim to have written this especially for the fans […]

    Oh,what? How cool! Seems like there were just little pockets of Frenchness in this Anglo-Indian world. Who knew.
