As mentioned in my other reviews of her books, Laura Florand builds on fairy tales in her works and this one was no exception. Sometimes, I can’t quite tell which story she is referencing, and truth be told it doesn’t matter, but in this case it was Little Red Riding Hood. I know because it is quite explicit and Florand didn’t manage to tone it down as much as she did in other stories. At some point, I am going to have to make a […]
A Contemporary Romance with Issues & Concerns
I have really enjoyed and recommend Penny Reid’s Knitting in the City Series and plan to try out other novels she writes, but this one confused me. It’s a bad sign when one is wondering if the contemporary romance one is reading is in some way meant to be the questionable elements of 50 Shades of Grey (which, admittedly, I haven’t read) done right. What a mess. I was making notes by the end of the first chapter and have included them at the end […]
This Guy Listened to Blurred Lines a Few Too Many Times
Honestly, I was so annoyed by this book that I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. A friend gave it a glowing review so I decided to give it a try, but unfortunately the book was a weird mixture of boring and obnoxious. I got a little more than halfway through and decided it wasn’t worth my time, even as a hate read. Maggie Jameson is the heir to the New York Saints baseball team until her father sells it to “the devil” aka […]
Contemporary Romance with Twice the Attractive Heroes
I found these contemporary romances through the magic of KindleUnlimited. The Backup Boyfriend and The Boyfriend Mandate are the first two books in the Boyfriend Series by River Jaymes which also includes Brad’s Bachelor Party (see way below) and the upcoming novel The Boyfriend Makeover. The Backup Boyfriend Opting against the more traditional tattoo or radical haircut, Alec responds to his break up with Tyler by going full-on midlife crisis and buying a vintage motorcycle. He’s done all of the research and none of the […]
Finally, a Romance Hero With a Beard
A HERO WITH A BEARD! My first lumbersexual after 3 years and 300 books. I may need a moment. Penny Reid’s great Knitting in the City series continues with Beauty and the Mustache, a book that also happens to introduce a family of brothers (Cletus, Beauford, Jethro, Billy, Duane, and Roscoe) set for their own stories. They all have beards, too! Huzzah! Ashley Winston is a nurse living in Chicago and she has just come home to rural Tennessee to learn why her mother is not […]
The T-Rex and the Mouse
Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC from NetGalley in return for a fair and objective review. The book will be on general release 10/03/15. Charlotte Baird is anxious and painfully shy due to some unresolved trauma involving her first, very unfortunately chosen boyfriend. When the company she works for hires a new CEO, known for his ruthless efficiency, to come clean up the mess left by corruption and mismanagement, she and pretty much everyone else is terrified they might lose their jobs. Yet Gabriel Bishop, […]
