two short reviews for two short scenes

To Trust Man On His Oath by K.J. Charles

How Goes The World? by K.J. Charles

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

To Trust Man On His Oath I saved this conversational exchange as a draft review, knowing that I was terribly behind on reviews and wanting not to forget the sentiment: Will sighed internally. “Look, you don’t have to talk to me. But if you want to, it’s three in the morning.” “Does the time … [Read more]

so sad this was over

Subtle Blood by K.J. Charles

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill 2 Comments

CW: I cannot fully remember, but I recall there's some period appropriate homophobia but from family members The interesting thing about this trilogy of books is how it doesn't fit the normal arc of trilogies. Usually, Book 1 stands alone-ish--sets up the world, but the main plot issue sorts … [Read more]

excellent middle novel in an excellent series

The Sugared Game by K.J. Charles

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Yep I just RAN to find this one after reading the prior book, and boy am I glad that I did. Realizing maybe I didn't read these as quickly because I really dislike the way that Kim is pictured on the covers--long sideburns and black lipstick, it looks like to me??? Wait is that Maisie and … [Read more]

run, do not walk, and read these

Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill 4 Comments

Narfna has stolen my first line for this review, which is: I love everything about this. Seeing as how I'm 90% certain I put this on hold because of her recommendation, I suppose it's only fair. So, yes. This was everything. I had this outstanding on my Kindle for ages, constantly pushing it off … [Read more]

romance novel jobs are hilarious to me

Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

So here we have the follow up to the Alexis-from-Schitt's-Creek fanfic It Happened One Summer that I had somewhat similar feelings for--aka, there is a bunch to like but a bunch to also see coming from a mile off that I disliked. Was it immediately obvious that this book was going to be about her … [Read more]

When We Cease To Understand the World cover

not what I thought, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

When We Cease To Understand the World by Benjamín Labatut

May 29, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

This book varied wildly from story to story, and there were parts I liked a lot more than others. On the whole since the parts I liked were so very much a bullseye for "Things I Will Read 100% Of the Time," I can forgive the parts between which were "Things I Will Roll My Eyes At And Abandon Books … [Read more]

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read them in the late 1980s/early 90s too. They were my first romances.

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read my way through her books, and those of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Shirley Busbee, in the 1980s and 'bonkers'...

    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine
  • Emmalita
    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.

    on The Kiss Quotient: Reverse, diverse Pretty Woman.
    This book helped me realize how very specific my pet peeves could be in relation to how people refer to...
