What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera

by Leave a Comment

I feel like I can’t really even muster up enough energy to review this. It was okay, not bad. I just didn’t really enjoy it all that much. Parts of it were very cute, and then parts of it were just there. I guess I just never really felt Ben and Arthur’s connection, it was just told to me over and over again, amidst a staggering amount of dramadrama, which I do not like. Ben is a NY native who has recently broken up with his boyfriend Hudson, and is at the post office to mail a box of his […]

Less lust, more explanations, please

The Arrivals by Melissa Marr

by 3 Comments

This was more cheesy romance than I expected in my sci-fi western, but it ended up being pretty enjoyable. A group of people from various time periods in the “real” world have woken up randomly in the Wasteland. The Wasteland is full of monsters and not-quite-humans and some creatures sort of like vampires, and one bad dude named Ajani, who is trying to take over. The Arrivals (the folks from our world) don’t know why they’re there or how they got there, but over the years, they’ve banded together, live in the desert in a cowboy camp, and fight Ajani […]

All the things that make you different make you perfect.

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

by Leave a Comment

It was Amazon that recommended The Kiss Quotient (2018) by Helen Hoang to me. I’m a sucker for romance novels, but then I saw Roxanne Gay’s blurb: “This is such a fun read and its also quite original and sexy and sensitive.” I was sold. The long wait list at the library also showed how popular it was, so I read it almost as soon as it became available. In many ways, The Kiss Quotient is a normal romance novel. The plot and story are all about the two main characters getting over their fears and inhibitions and finding true love at last. What […]

A Good Road Trip Love Story

The Escape (The Survivors' Club #3) by Mary Balogh

by Leave a Comment

I have a library hold backlog gathering on my kitchen table, so I decided best plan was to knock out a few quick reads and hopefully catch up. Part of the backlog is a few of The Survivors’ Club books by Mary Balogh. I enjoyed The Proposal and The Arrangement earlier this year and had immediately put holds on the rest of the series. In typical me fashion I was nervous about the next book, The Escape, when I wrote my review for The Arrangement (as I was nervous about the focus of The Arrangement when I finished The Proposal) […]

Almost a Favorite

The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

by 7 Comments

Jasmine Guillory’s The Proposal was one of my most anticipated books of the year. I enjoyed The Wedding Date and was looking forward to where Guillory would go with Carlos. The taste we were given of a botched public proposal whetted my appetite further. When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn’t the hard part–they’ve only been dating for five months, and he can’t even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face […]

I’m Taking Off A Star For the Title

RAFE: A Buff Male Nanny by Rebekah Weatherspoon

by 4 Comments

I really hate the title. If I hadn’t read FyreHaar’s review, I would never have touched a book called RAFE: A Buff Male Nanny. It sounds like bad porn that’s trying to have a plot. It’s actually a pretty sweet contemporary romance. I follow Rebekah Weatherspoon on twitter and find her to be sharp, smart and funny. I was looking for a reason to try one of her books, but I wasn’t feeling enthusiastic about the titles. I recognize this as a me problem, however it’s my review, so everything here is filtered through the lens of me. Dr. Sloan Copeland, […]

Romance and adventure in Egypt

Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase

by 1 Comment

It was another Cannonball review that had me putting Mr. Impossible (2005) by Loretta Chase on hold at the library. I was sold at the description of the hero as a brunette Chris Hemsworth, and I love adventurous romances, so I figured it was right up my alley. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it quite as much as I was hoping. There were definitely good parts, but I never really got into it. Daphne Pembroke and her brother Miles are researching the ancient tombs and languages in 1821 in Egypt. Daphne is the genius brains of the family. She uses her brother to […]

Eleanor and Park Redux #CBRBingo

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

by 4 Comments

So I have to write eleven reviews in less than two days if I’m going to make the CBR Bingo deadline, so this and the next ten reviews will probably be short. This was my second time through Eleanor & Park, and I picked it up because I had already read all the books in the So Popular! bingo category, and had recently re-read Attachments, so this book, why not! It’s still great, first of all, but also, it’s still my least favorite Rainbow Rowell book. I used to have it rated at five stars because at the time I […]
