You want something different in a romance? Here you go!

March 25, 2017 by Ellepkay 1 Comment

This is not an easy romance.  Both the hero and heroine are rather unlikeable, almost to the point where you don’t believe they deserve a happy ending.  And yet, this book was really, really good.  It’s a hard book to recommend, but if anything about this review appeals to you, then you should definitely give it a try.  It is the fourth and final book in the No Better Angels series, and while the hero has appeared in every other book of the series I […]

I really wanted a better book for my first Cannonball

December 10, 2016 by Ellepkay 7 Comments

I read the first and third books in Erin Satie’s No Better Angels series well over a year ago, maybe even two years ago.  I adored them.  Why did I not read this, the second book in the series at that time?  Long answer:  I’m a hoarder.  The first step is admitting you have a problem.  And my problem is ebooks.  I snatch up anything that grabs my fancy if the price is right. And, then I am a weirdo control freak and force myself […]
