Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

These people are in lust, not love

Winning It All (Hometown Players) by Victoria Denault

by 1 Comment

I read Winning It All (Hometown Players) based on the description from the Smart Bitches, Trashy books twitter feed. I’ve been going to professional hockey games since I was a wee little sprite. The cover photo made me laugh for a long time. Also, one of my favorite players, Mathieu Perrault, is French Canadian. He once celebrated a win like this. Amazing, right? Anyway. so this book has Sebastian Deveau who plays defense for the pro team in Seattle (this may happen some day, but does not exist now) and the heroine is Shayne Beckford. Shayne’s father is a womanizer. […]

Thanks to the CBR romance readers hive mind for this one.

Kulti by Mariana Zapata

by 13 Comments

This is another one of those books I probably wouldn’t have touched were it not for the online book reviewing community. Specifically, all of you fellow romance-reading reviewers here at CBR, who read and reviewed Kulti to pieces starting late last year. I’d never even heard of Mariana Zapata until y’all started raving over this book. I’ve learned to trust our collective hive mind over the years, so I picked this up with one of my Audible credits earlier this year, and decided to save it for just the right time. Kulti is not the best romance I’ve ever read. […]

Key to My Heart

Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen

by 2 Comments

What can I really say. I loved this book to pieces. It’s been a while since I can say that a book was picture perfect from beginning to end, but I really did find this book worked great. I had no issues with the writing, dialogue, plot, setting or pacing. I went and borrowed a ton of other Sarah Dessen books from the library as soon as I finished “Lock and Key.” I read this for the “Key to My Heart” square for Romance Book Bingo 2017. The main character in “Lock and Key” is Ruby Conner. Ruby is a […]

Cute, but not my fave.

Act Like It by Lucy Parker

by 1 Comment

Everybody here has been losing their minds over this book since it came out, so I knew I would read it eventually because I am a sheep and do what I’m told. BaaaAAAaaaAAAAaaAaAA. ANYWAYS. This book was great. Nothing earth-shattering or revolutionary, just straight up cute romance featuring hate-to-love protagonists. My only real complaint about it is that it wasn’t long enough. I needed at LEAST fifty more pages of them being in that stage right before actually falling in love with each other. This book didn’t even break 200 pages and that is unacceptable. I’m sure it also suffered because […]

This book is book crack.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

by 4 Comments

I fell in love with this book within, like, five minutes of starting it. I had zero problems with it, and I went basically full cartoon heart-eyes* the entire time I was reading it. So, you know, keep that in mind for the rest of this review. Critical thinking skills not getting much use here from me. *Or, because I’m watching Steven Universe for the first time right now, we might also say I went full star-eyes. I’m halfway through season one right now and already loving it. I’m sooooo glad I have CBR to recommend books like this to me, […]

Once More for the People In the Back!

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

by 4 Comments

Add me to the chorus of people loving this book!  I reread passages as I went along, I’m already reread Beth Ellen’s copy that she lent me, I intend to buy a copy of my own,  AND I’ll probably pick up an ebook copy one day when it goes on sale.  I suspect this will be a comfort read for years to come. I can’t even properly write about this book.  I had a big smile plastered on my face the entire time I was reading.  I felt all lit up and happy even after staying up WAY too late […]

An American in Oxford

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

by Leave a Comment

I found The Royal We excessively charming, for all that it is — as others have mentioned — Will and Kate Cambridge fanfiction. Every major player in their IRL romance has a direct analog here as far as I can tell (though I don’t truly consider myself an expert) and though our protagonist, Bex, is American, she still comes from money as Kate Middleton did. All of the major events in their romance are covered here, and, cover illustrations aside, even the physical descriptions of the characters are basically on-point for their real-life counterparts. (The notable exception may be the […]
