Loving the IAD Series Reread

No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole

by 2 Comments

The Immortals After Dark series was part of my onramp to romance that I read mumbles incoherently years ago. They aren’t perfect but they are fun although they haven’t been generally well received by some Cannonballers due to various issues including a tendency to feature ThunderSex™ . I mostly forgot about them before stumbling across Fated Mates, the delightful podcast by romance writer Sarah MacLean and romance critic Jen Prokop THAT I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH. (While the emphasis of the podcast is the IAD series it swerves into loads of genres like rockstar romance, fake engagements, and more.) Fated […]

by 4 Comments

  I am continuing my quest to read the books written by the amazing authors I follow on twitter. This review I get a two for one, Kit Rocha is a writing duo – Bree Bridges (@mostlybree) and Donna Herran (@totallydonna).  They are smart and delightful on Twitter and you should follow them. As Kit Rocha, they have been writing dystopian erotic romances set within the same future world for several years. Their third series is coming out this fall, published by Tor.

New Adult Romance- this one is so, so good

The Deal by Elle Kennedy

by Leave a Comment

From Amazon: Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date. All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening […]

Look, country house parties are nothing but trouble

The Austen Playbook (London Celebrities #4) by Lucy Parker

by Leave a Comment

Freddy Carlton is in a bit of a funk. The latest in a long line of a famous theater family, her career is going well, but she’s not really enjoying it. Like any British heroine, she heads off to the country to clear her head. It is a truth universally acknowledged that an actor in a rut must be in want of a spot of murder, mayhem, and true love.* And like any romance novel heroine, where there’s a country house, there’s a grumpy sod who owns it. Enter J. Ford-Griffin. Griff is barely holding his head above water trying […]

“Your relationship is a great adventure. Treat it as such.”

Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love by John Gottman, Julie Schwartz Gottman, Doug Abrams, Rachel Carlton Abrams

by Leave a Comment

Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman are renowned psychologists who specialize in what makes happy, healthy, long-lasting romantic relationships work. One of John Gottman’s claims to fame is to be able to determine, with 94% accuracy, which couples are headed for divorce on the strength of a five minute snippet of conversation. I read Dr. Gottman’s Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work before I married my husband. Neither of our parents have marriages we wished to emulate, and research is my love language. The advice in that book has stood us in good stead, but after thirteen years, […]

Ehhh…

The One Who's Not the One by Keris Stainton

by Leave a Comment

I honestly don’t know what to say. I liked the character Cat and her friendship with Kelly and how much she loved her, Kelly’s son, and Kelly’s husband. That said, the whole book revolves about her getting feelings for her ex’s brother. If that part had been cut out I would have loved it. Cat is a former stand up comic who quit after her ex-boyfriend Sam (also a comic) moved to Australia 5 years ago and never came back. Cat we find out has some abandonment issues. What I think is funny about it is that Cat tries to […]

Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren

by 3 Comments

I always keep a running list on my phone of authors and book titles that other Cannonballers have loved, just in case I find myself at a library or a book sale and have some free time on my hands. I recently picked up two books by Christina Lauren, My Favorite Half-Night Stand, and Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating. I enjoyed both – they were cute and fun and enjoyable. So I figured this book would be more of the same. But. Ugh. I really, really disliked this one. A quick and annoying overview: Present day Macy is […]
