My Prediction/Request Came True!

Competence by Gail Carriger

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 11 (Travel) I waited until almost the next book in the series release to read Imprudence, the prequel to Competence. I waited until almost the next book in the series release to read Competence because I hadn’t enjoyed Imprudence as much as previous novels by Gail Carriger. In my review of Imprudence I remember stating that I wished that the next novel wouldn’t focus on Rue because she’d started to annoy me. Ms. Carriger seems to have heard my plea (because of course she listens to/reads my personal thoughts on her novels (:p) ) . Competence again follows the […]

Love and Politics Can Mix

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Review 2 (Rainbow Flag): On the one hand, Red, White & Royal Blue is a cute, light romantic story about how the First Son of the USA and a Prince of England start out as nemeses, are forced by political circumstances to fake friendship, become friends for real, fall in love, get outed as a couple, and the face their new reality together. I don’t view this as spoilers since this is the kind of mostly feel good light read that you know will have a generally happy ending. After all, the main couple always ends up together after […]

A choice between family and being your authentic self

Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu

by Leave a Comment

Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu isn’t quite a romance but digs into what it means to love. Lucky marries her gay friend Kris to appease her family and remain accepted by her Sri Lankan immigrant community in Boston. A marriage of convenience that works well on the surface. Everyone believes she married for love and escaped the fate of an arranged one. Kris and Lucky can be who they are together in LGBTQ spaces, taking home whoever they want. But things get tricky when Nisha comes back into Lucky’s life. Nisha is her childhood best friend and […]

Really, a life of crime is not the primrose path it’s cracked up to be.

Any Old Diamonds by KJ Charles

by 9 Comments

I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn’t expecting what I got from this book, and now I can’t believe I haven’t been reading KJ Charles for years. Any Old Diamonds is a fantastic read, part romance, part revenge plot, part heist. This is a tough book to talk about because it’s almost like a puzzle box. You can almost read it forwards and backwards. That makes it hard to avoid spoilers. Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes is the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar. The Duke is about to gift his second wife with an expensive set of diamonds. Alec […]

Not for me, maybe for you.

All Hours (One Night in South Beach Book 6) by Andie J. Christopher

by 5 Comments

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I requested this book because Andie J. Christopher is an author I follow on Twitter, but I haven’t read one of her books yet. There is a lot to enjoy about this book. Christopher writes well and I enjoyed most of the book. The issue I had with All Hours is a personal bette noir and one with which a lot of people wouldn’t have a problem. Felix Pascual is struggling to get over the end of a relationship that wasn’t much of a relationship. Joaquin Delgado […]

I cannot think of a single damned thing to say that isn’t either a lie or a felony.

Hither Page by Cat Sebastian

by 4 Comments

An English village mystery + spies + m/m romance. I received this as an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. If I have learned anything from the great British murder mystery tradition and Midsomer Murders, it’s that English villages are rife with scandal, secrets, and murder. Cat Sebastian, an avowed fan of Agatha Christie and her literary progeny, uses the British murder mystery tropes and stock characters as a back drop for a lovely romance between a war traumatized village doctor and the spy sent to cover up a crime. Leo Page is a spy and […]

Leah on the Offbeat – Fun Visit Back to Creekwood

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

by Leave a Comment

Finished on March 26, took 2 days to read 3 stars on Goodreads, actually a 3.5 Genre: Young Adult Rating 4/4 Young Adult Leah on the Offbeat is a follow up novel to one of my favorite books from last year: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I devoured Simon in one night, and immediately watched the movie (not as good as the book but still fun). So I was very excited to visit the characters from the point of view of Leah, one of Simon’s best friends from the first novel. We follow the Creekwood gang as they navigate […]

Down the rabbit hole

White Rabbit by Caleb Roehrig

by Leave a Comment

Per the book blurb: Rufus Holt is having the worst night of his life. It begins with the reappearance of his ex-boyfriend, Sebastian—the guy who stomped his heart out like a spent cigarette. Just as Rufus is getting ready to move on, Sebastian turns up out of the blue, saying they need to “talk.” Things couldn’t get worse, right? After finishing Death Prefers Blondes by Caleb Roehrig, I was intrigued enough to check out his previous books.  This is another YA book, but the tone is a lot darker and the action all takes place on one July 4th night.  […]
