This gives romantic sci-fi a bad name

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

by 2 Comments

I picked up Ice Road Barbarians by Ruby Dixon on Kindle Unlimited because the listing was flagged as “Number 1 in Romantic Comedy” and since it’s obviously sci-fi, I thought it might be a delightful bit of space camp à là Spaceballs. But, you know, in book form. IT IS NOT THAT AT ALL. I have been unable to get it to display with that tag now that I’ve read it, which makes me wonder if there was a glitch or if I only imagined […]

Why, oh why, hast thou forsaken me, Pattykins?

Dream Spinner by Kristen Ashley

by 2 Comments

Patty has forsaken me. She started me down this damnable path, but seems to have been able to break up with the Ashley. I… have not been so fortunate. Dream Spinner dropped on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. I’d honestly forgotten that I’d even pre-ordered it, but there it was when I opened the kindle app on my phone. Of course I stopped everything to read it. (I hate you so much right now, Pattykins.) Hattie is one of the lead dancers in a burlesque review […]

Much more than super hot, sticky, sweet

Cinnamon Roll (Bold Brew Book 9) by Anna Zabo

by 2 Comments

So, I read this tweet from our very own Emmalita recommending Cinnamon Roll (Bold Brew Book 9) by Anna Zabo because it is a masterclass in setting up the story. It is that. It is also a fantastic example of BDSM romance that is actually safe, sane and consensual while being SUPER sexy. (And BDSM isn’t even a particular kink of mine, so that says A LOT.) Even more importantly, it is a romance novel where the leads actually communicate with each other. I was […]

Full speed rant ahead

Slow Burn by Autumn Jones Lake

by 1 Comment

This began as a review of Slow Burn (Lost Kings MC #1) by Autumn Jones Lake, but quickly evolved into something else entirely as I struggled to adequately express my feelings about the novel. Please be patient with me this time around. I find myself having a surprisingly strong reaction to a book which I was “eh” about. I came across Slow Burn when it was recommended to me by Kindle. Strike that. I came across SB when Kindle recommended the NINETEENTH book in the Lost Kings series […]

Break on Through to the Other Side

Now You See Her by Linda Howard

by Leave a Comment

Linda Howard was one of my top go-to romance authors for a long time, but somewhere along my reading journey she fell to the wayside. I was going through my Kindle library and came across Now You See Her which was originally published in 1998. I decided to do a re-read to see if it held up better than some of Howard’s other books like Mr. Perfect, which I used to love but have since come to realize is very problematic. The answer is maybe? Now You See Her […]
