I don’t think I’d want to be trapped in a giant empanada

Shrunkation by Janine Amesta

May 28, 2026 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars This was an ARC I received from the author, Janine Amesta. My opinions are my own. Catalina and Trey’s marriage is in trouble. Catalina is exhausted from her demanding work, nearing burnout, and incapable of forgetting some foolish and hurtful things Trey said to her months ago. She’s feeling unappreciated and ignored, not to mention misunderstood. Trey knows that he screwed up, but he thinks all they need is some quality time together. He won a weekend stay at a luxury resort in […]

The Final Gambit: The Inheritance Games Book #3 by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

March 26, 2026 by carmelpie 2 Comments

“That’s my girl!” Xander bellowed. “Woman,” Max corrected. “That’s my woman! In a completely not possessive and absolutely unpatriarchal kind of way!” ― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Final Gambit The Final Gambit picks up immediately after the final reveals of book two, The Hawthorne Legacy. Toby vanished in the wake of Avery’s rescue from Sheffield Grayson and left Avery with a new mystery: what is the meaning of the treasure he left for her mother, Hannah, and why did he steal it back from Avery […]

A giffy live-blog of a wet turd

June 16, 2016 by alwaysanswerb 17 Comments

When I started Stranded with a Billionaire, I knew it was going to be a silly read. The title gave it away, as did the whole billionaire premise to begin with. What I didn’t know was that I was already going to be shaking my head incredulously inside of the first five pages. So, I decided to do something I haven’t quite done before in a review, which is something of a live-blog of this book. -> 3% Wasting no time at all, our hero […]

“Googling ‘what to wear to an orgy’ had resulted in little assistance.”

April 17, 2015 by alwaysanswerb 5 Comments

I picked up A Gentleman in the Street because I had read that it’s pretty good erotica (check) with a reversal on the rich-guy-poor-girl scheme (check) AND the heroine is very experienced and the guy doesn’t have a problem with it (check.) So if that sounds like something you’d want to read, it’s worth checking out this book. Goodreads says: “Billionaire businesswoman Akira Mori can get anything and anyone her heart desires. Anyone, that is, except for a certain aloof author who has been dominating her […]
