You don’t have to love people the way you learned to love at first.

Love at First by Kate Clayborn

January 25, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

There are certain things you can count on in a Kate Clayborn book: her lovers will start off at cross purposes, the rapport and banter will be engaging, the pining and self reflection will plug right into your feelings, and the characters will (mostly) act like adults. Love at First has all of this. It’s a comfortable, enjoyable read. There is no shame in enjoying this book. It lacks the emotional urgency and tension of the Chance of a Lifetime series. I still think about those books. […]

Until the mountains are no more, I will love you

Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins

January 24, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I am so glad that Beverly Jenkins is finally getting more of the popular attention that she deserves. Her name has come up a lot as people have talked about what Netflix or Shondaland should adapt next for a series. Jenkins has been writing sine 1994, and calls her writing “edutainment.” While white writers, publishers and readers were debating whether it was possible to give Black characters a happy ending in romance, Beverly Jenkins was writing those stories and showing her work with bibliographies for […]

A YA cautionary tale for those DNA sites

You Have A Match by Emma Lord

January 20, 2021 by J Leave a Comment

Alternate title I didn’t have the fortitude to go with: more like parentS trap (I’m funnier in real life.) As far as summer camp adventures go, hiding out at an academic grind sleepaway camp in order to get to know your SURPRISE FULL-BLOODED SISTER and avoid summer school is kind of… okay, I’m not sure it would have ever occurred to me to do it, but The Youth are better than me. So there’s Abby. She’s having a bad year. Her beloved grandfather passed. Her […]

The Knockout by Sajni Patel

January 14, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I feel slightly disadvantaged reviewing Sajni Patel’s, The Knockout – I’m not Indian American, I know nothing about Muay Thai, and I haven’t been a teenager in a long, long time. That said, I enjoyed The Knockout. I’ve had it sitting in my NetGalley queue for months because it was suppose to come out last year, but the pandemic pushed it back. I received this as an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Once I started reading I realized that […]

Messy…And Then There’s a Stalker

Forgiven by Garrett Leigh

January 8, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Forgiven is the first book I’ve read by Garrett Leigh, and it wasn’t an entirely successful introduction, but it didn’t put me off the author either. I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Mia and Luke had an intense on/off relationship as teens that ended abruptly when Luke joined the navy without telling her he was leaving. Mia left their hometown a few years later, moved to Paris, got married, and opened a florist shop with her husband. […]
