A romance roundup with all of the best tropes

Snowed in with Benefits by Misha Horne

The 12 Hunks of Herculeia: A Monstrously Mythic Romance Part 1 by C. Rochelle

Pansies by Alexis Hall

October 10, 2023 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

If walking back out into the real world this morning had been sensory overload, this trippy detour into fantasy land was full on sensory system crash. Except there was no crash, there was no quit, there was just keep going until you hit a wall and then figure out how to walk up the wall to the ceiling. So that’s what I did, gritting my teeth and pushing through. ― Misha Horne, Snowed in with Benefits 3.5 stars Austin Ash is wild, uncontrollable, and an […]

Reading the city

City Under the City by Dan Yaccarino

October 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I think I have read City Under the City before. However, I did not really remember it at all. Sure, things seemed a smidgen familiar, but the theme is similar in other works and I always find samples here and there so that’s why a page or two wasn’t completely “fresh.”  And that is not necessarily a bad thing as I was able to read it fresh. And like with another book I read and this happened to me, I was able to take something […]

Eating some delicious bugs and solving a mystery

Booker the Library Bat Volume 1: The New Guard by Jess Brallier

October 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Booker is a library bat. This means, like the real bats of the Joanine Library in Portugal (which eat around 500 bugs per bat per night, keeping the books safe from book eating bugs) he protects the books in the library he lives in. On his first night as a guard, with three old-timers (my favorite is Rocco who uses gel in his fur but they are all adorable), he decides to check out the library to get the lay of the land. That night […]

The book, "The Fragile Threads of Power" by V.E. Schwab standing next to a partially complete bingo card.

Revisiting the Shades of Magic world with a captivating new story that also brought back fan favorites

The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab

October 8, 2023 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

CBR15 Bingo: Sex – V.E. Schwab does not include sex scenes in any of her books.  They tend to be more ‘fade to black’ moments.  However, I wish this book had more than just suggested sexy times! Several years ago when Schwab finished the original “Shades of Magic” trilogy, she left a door open to potentially revisit the series in the future.  Apparently inspiration struck and we now have The Fragile Threads of Power to build upon the first trilogy.  First off let me say that […]

Cover for the book Prince and Pawn by Tavia Lark

One Night Stand Turns Into Messy Politics

Prince and Pawn by Tavia Lark

October 8, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Corin was just looking for an evening to forget everything.  Audric figures one night of indulgence before he’s betrothed won’t hurt.  Neither of them were expecting the explosive chemistry between them or the instant connection on a personal level.  Of course, Audric had no clue that Corin is his bethrothed’s illegitimate half-brother, and Corin doesn’t discover Audric’s a prince until they meet again the next day at the betrothal ceremony.  It’s a political marriage for the good of the country, and both Corin and Audric […]
