Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

January 14, 2018 by katie71483 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 […]

The things I do for my friends…

December 2, 2017 by katie71483 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 […]

Bon Appétit!

Intro Katie: As is so often the case, Patty messaged me and said I needed to read The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson. You can imagine my skepticism at this point. Then she added the deciding words: it’s cheap and Mariana Zapata. Patty: Have a little faith. I stumble upon decent reads every once in a while. A great while. My advice isn’t all bad… The reference to Mariana Zapata came into play because though we adore her, she tends to be a little […]

I feel like Alicia Silverstone in Clueless: Way harsh, Tai.

I was provided a copy of The Gloaming: Rise of the Stealth Vampire Elder by ML Worthingham free of charge in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was all… YES. FREE BOOK. WHAT ISN’T TO LIKE? Then I started actually reading the thing. The title should have been the first clue as to what I’d find, but honestly my mind was still stuck on “yay! Free book!” Doesn’t it sound like the title of an Edith Wharton novel or something? Or maybe a […]

Maybe Courtney Milan has spoiled me and my expectations are too high

October 7, 2017 by katie71483 5 Comments

As is so often the case with the books I review, this read began with a message from Patty: “I’m reading this book. It’s gotten off to a really good start and is quite funny in parts.” Of course I immediately check it out and purchase from Amazon. It’s what I do. I really should know better by now.  Having been battling alternating bouts of rage, frustration, and fear for awhile now, The Best Man (Blue Heron Series – Book 1) by Kristen Higgans sounded like […]

    I think there is more visibility for stories with older and middle aged women. I’m here for it.
