Warren Zevon is not the appropriate soundtrack

The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt

by 1 Comment

Do you have one of those books that you can pick up, open it to any page, and start reading, knowing exactly what is going on? And you find this comforting, familiar, the book equivalent of an old friend. THE SILVER WOLF by Alice Borchardt is such a book for me. It’s one of those books that I have in hardback and on my Kindle so I can read it whenever. I originally picked it up at a local bookstore that doesn’t exist anymore. I was lured in because of a small sign recommending it to fans of Anne Rice. (At […]

You’ll never look at a library the same way

Stacked by Aviva Blakeman

by Leave a Comment

Note: I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. Not gonna lie, I was hesitant to read and review Stacked, because the author is a dear friend, but no need to worry! It was thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of things really stood out to me as I read this first installment of the Devil’s Bastards MC series: First, the author can impart a hell of lot of information about the protagonists during their meet cute. Both characters were immediately likable, which I really appreciated. None of this tortured alphahole who must be […]

Remember when we used to be friends?

For You by Kristen Ashley

by 7 Comments

PATTY: Say it. Admit it. SAY IT. KATIE:  FINE. Fine. Kristen Ashley’s FOR YOU is actually fine, maybe even edging into decent/good. It’s the first book in her ‘Burg series, and if someone sent you this book to read with nothing identifying who wrote it, you’d probably think it’s an okay romantic suspense novel even if it is a little wordy. PATTY: February Owens and Alec Colton were once upon a time a dream couple. The *something* happened and February broke up with Colton and twenty years later they barely speak to each other but there’s all this yearning. Katie: […]

She’s Back!

Wild Like the Wind by Kristen Ashley

by Leave a Comment

KATIE: Y’all. Kristen Ashley has finally managed to surprise me. In WILD LIKE THE WIND, she has created a book that begins with a bit of history relevant to the Chaos Motorcycle Club, LOTS of sex, and an attempt at redeeming a previously unlikable character so he can be the hero of this story. PATTY: YAY! SHE’S BACK! We have missed her so. KATIE: You could say this one starts off with a BANG. NOT THAT KIND OF A BANG. Duh. This kind. And many more just like it. Y’all, this book ain’t nothing but sex interspersed with the care […]

An insult to avocado toast

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

by 9 Comments

katie: I take full responsibility for this one. I somehow missed A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness the first time around. My interest was piqued after seeing a trailer for the new series featuring Matthew Goode. Here. Have some eye candy: Katie: Anyway, I messaged Patty and was like, “we may have a contender.”

Well, I guess the red capes had to come from somewhere

Genesis Part VII - Chapters 26-30 by 6000 years of male privelege

by 4 Comments

Previously on Supernatural… Sarah’s death, Abraham’s death, Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah: the best little camel waterer in Texas, and sibling rivalry, as per the usual. In this installment… Patty: There was a severe famine so Isaac hightailed it to Gerar. God told him to stay put and not to go to Egypt and that if he obeyed, he would be rewarded with God’s standard offer of blessings and descendants. Now, stop me if you’ve heard this one but Isaac tells everyone in town that Rebekah is his sister (because of her great beauty, he was afraid they would kill him […]

Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

The Hookup (Moonlight & Motor Oil Series Book 1) by Kristen Ashley

by 5 Comments

Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series.   Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s heroines, she’s overcome a lot to find a little niche of happiness. She’s got a […]

The things I do for my friends…

Darker by E. L. James

by 9 Comments

So, gentle reader, the target of my blinding rage this time is not Pattykins. I know. I’m surprised, too. Instead, it was caused by someone I used to think of as one of the best people I know. USED TO. It’s my fault, I suppose. I poked the bear by ranting about refusing to read Darker by E.L. James. It is the fifth installment in the Fifty Shades series, and the second time we’re hearing the story from Christian’s perspective. I know before reading the first word that it is going to be the written equivalent of a dumpster fire. […]
