“One should not make a pet out of a wild beast.”

Damsel by Elana K. Arnold

by 6 Comments

cbrbingo11 – Cannonballer says! In the kingdom of Harding, heir to the throne Emory must go through the ritual every king has had to take on before being granted the crown: slay a dragon, rescue the damsel captive there, and make her your queen.  Emory conquers this task as he conquers all of his conquests, and the young woman he takes back to his kingdom is like the ones who came before: no memory of her past or her time in the dragon’s lair, nameless, a vessel for the king to fill. Newly dubbed King Emory names her Ama, and […]

The most enjoyable book I’ve read so far this year

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

by Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Bingo: I Love This First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. Alex is busy enough handling his mother’s bloodthirsty opponents […]

Much better than the cover made me expect

Whatever Life Throws at You by Julie Cross

by Leave a Comment

From Goodreads: Seventeen-year-old Annie Lucas’s life is completely upended the moment her dad returns to the major leagues as the new pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals. Now she’s living in Missouri (too cold), attending an all-girls school (no boys), and navigating the strange world of professional sports. But Annie has dreams of her own—most of which involve placing first at every track meet…and one starring the Royals’ super-hot rookie pitcher. But nineteen-year-old Jason Brody is completely, utterly, and totally off-limits. Besides, her dad would kill them both several times over. Not to mention Brody has something of a […]

Typical Romance Read

Three Girls and a Leading Man by Rachel Schurig

by Leave a Comment

Eh, this one didn’t set my hair on fire. Annie and her dilemma was lame to me. She has the opportunity to become a big time actress, but you know love is the answer. I loathe romance books that do this mess with heroines. It also didn’t really line up with what Annie wanted for herself either. And it doesn’t say a lot about her friends and love interest if that she needs to give up what she wants to be in a relationship. “Three Girls and a Leading Man” has Annie and friends go off to Las Vegas where […]

A man falls in love with a woman he’s never met because he reads her e-mails. Wait don’t go!! No, it’s charming, really I promise!!

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

by 1 Comment

You wouldn’t think a story about an adult man creeping on two women’s private email conversation would be cute and charming, but this is a Rainbow Rowell book, so of course it is. “I know that people change. I thought … I thought we’re going to change together. I thought that’s what it meant to be in love.” Lincoln is lost in life. He’s been reeling ever since his girlfriend broke up with him first year in college. He now has several degrees and a job he took to pay his bills while he figured it all out. His job […]

#CBR10 Bingo: Underrepresented – Let’s Talk About Love

Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann

by 1 Comment

#CBR10Bingo: Underrepresented Alice’s girlfriend dumps her because she can’t really handle the fact that Alice is asexual and while she’s perfectly willing to engage in sexual acts to please her girlfriend, she herself doesn’t really get much out of it. Dumped and heartbroken, Alice swears off dating entirely. She moves into the spare room at the apartment of her two best friends (who are a couple) and is determined to power through the summer enjoying good food, binge watching TV and working at the library. The only problem? There’s a new guy, Takumi, working at the library and he makes […]

I was rolling my eyes so hard

Hooked on the Game by C.M. Owens

by Leave a Comment

A friend of mine from book club mentioned that she’d read some romance novels by C.M. Owens and really enjoyed them. I was intrigued, always ready to find a new, favorite romance author. I went on Amazon and quickly found Hooked on the Game (2014), the first book in the Sterling Shore series for free! So that worked out perfectly. Unfortunately, even though there was sometimes some good heat and connection between the leads, I found the whole thing preposterous. Raya Capperton is a focused college student, determined to get through school. Unfortunately, her roommates have just been kicked out of school […]
