You don’t sail a thousand ships, you pulverize them

Possession by Adriana Anders

March 10, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I don’t know why I love marriage in trouble stories so much, but I do. Possession, a fake marriage in real trouble, is a nice twist on the trope. Possession is a book that I probably wouldn’t have read from a different author, but Anders takes all the elements that usually make me wary and deals with them very well. This is a kink heavy erotic romance with damaged man who is solely responsible for the marriage being in trouble. Really good kink is hard […]

A fun, sexy conclusion

The Don by Katrina Jackson

March 6, 2022 by LB 1 Comment

It isn’t new to say Katrina Jackson is one of my absolute favorite authors and I hate that she made me love a mafia romance series, but here we are. The Don has been being set up since Beautiful and Dirty, and what a fantastic conclusion to the series! Now to wait for the spin-offs~ Shae and her cousin are sent to Italy by the Council of Aunties to retrieve her other cousin, but almost immediately she runs into Salvatore – a man she met […]

The Hitman by Katrina Jackson

February 3, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Katrina Jackson is so good. She is so good I’m thinking about taking up smoking just so I can have a cigarette in bed after I finish one of her books. Everything I’ve read of hers is funny, emotional, and scorching hot. I really need more of you to jump on the Katrina Jackson bandwagon with me. At the end of Beautiful + Dirty, Shae is grappling with her memories of Salvatore as she gets ready for her cousin Zahra’s wedding. The Hitman opens with Zahra watching […]

Beautiful & Dirty (The Family Book 1) by Katrina Jackson

Pink Slip (The Spies Who Loved Her #1) by Katrina Jackson

December 30, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Katrina Jackson has been one of my favorite discoveries this year. She is a college professor who writes high heat, queer, often polyamorous, diverse stories. Her stories are centered around black women and their desire. Very few of her interracial relationships involve white people. I would love it if someone smarter than me wrote a thesis on the genius of Katrina Jackson. I can see it, but I can’t explain it. Of the books of hers I have read, I would only describe Office Hours as […]

Beyond Series Bundle Volume 2 (Books 4 - 6) by Kit Rocha

Beyond Series Bundle Volume 3 (Books 7 - 9) by Kit Rocha

Beyond Series Novella Bundle by Kit Rocha

December 9, 2019 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I am struggling with this review, because a lot of what I said in my review for the Beyond Series Bundle Volume 1 is true for the three bundles I am attempting to review here. The overarching themes of the series are freedom to determine your own life, freedom to love who you love, bodily autonomy – including consent and reproductive freedom, and over coming the many forms of toxic masculinity. All of this was present in the first bundle of books, and all of […]

Boundary-crossing erotica that’s Courtney Milan approved

The Original Sinners - The Red Years #1-4 by Tiffany Reisz

August 28, 2018 by alwaysanswerb 1 Comment

It’s been a minute since I’ve written a review, and I feel like I’ve forgotten how to do it. Let’s pretend I was never gone and this is actually going to be competent, shall we? So I said right in the title of this review that this is Courtney Milan approved erotica, which is a kind of flippant way of saying she gave it a 5/5 star rating with about a billion caveats. Specifically, I’m referring to this review of The Siren, the first book […]
