Not Steve Rogers, but dammit I liked him anyway

Say My Name (Devil's Bastards MC) by Aviva Blakeman

September 17, 2019 by Emmalita 2 Comments

I’ve been sitting on this review for a while, at a mental impasse how to describe the highs of the excellent quality writing in Say My Name versus issues that are particular to this period in time and how it impacts my pop culture consumption. Something unrelated finally illuminated for me that my conflict is about what I want in a male romantic lead and how much I enjoyed the book even though John isn’t the hero I’m looking for.

I want to at least like every book I read, and when it’s written by someone I like, I want to like it even more. I liked Stacked. It is […]
