So I am, what Mr. Beth Ellen likes to call, full of hormones and baby. This ends up translating to, for the past month or so, an inability to finish any book remotely upsetting. Characters aren’t nice? Set it aside. People don’t fall in love? Set it aside. So in general, for the next many months of Beast Residency, it looks like I’ll be reviewing a lot of romances. After finishing up the Ivy Years series I started asking the Zon for recommendations like Sarina […]
All that’s missing is Otis Day & the Knights
So, I got this message from Mrs. Julien, she who calls herself Prolixity, “Miss Katie, would you like to borrow a book?” My curiosity was immediately piqued. Obviously. My reply was instant, “Of course!” That is how I came to read The Deal by Elle Kennedy. It also came with this ringing endorsement, “[emmalita] and I enjoyed it very much.” How could I NOT read it at this point? Disclaimer: I didn’t truly understand what this New Adult business was all about. It just seemed […]
A “New Adult” romance and my first Milan!
Ladies (and the gents who peruse our romance reviews, rock on) I have finally read a Milan. And it was okay. I will also state before anyone gets worried, I have already downloaded The Duchess War and shall be starting that shortly, but for now I read one. Trade Me falls into a new genre category it appears, called New Adult. It is more saucy than say a Young Adult love story, but nowhere near as saucy as I require from my grown up romances. […]
The hero’s a tight-end, and you’d better believe there are jokes about that
4.5 stars Gray Grayson does not have female friends, he has former and future conquests. The closest thing he has to a female friend is his best friend Drew‘s new girlfriend. That’s it. So no one is more surprised than he, when he seems to be developing a close relationship with a woman he’s never even met, via text message of all things. When Gray has to lend his own car to Drew for a while, he’s left with no other options than to borrow […]
I neither know nor care about American football, but this book was entertaining
Anna was either bullied or completely ignored in high school. With the exception of a few loyal friends, she was pretty much a social outcast. She has worked hard to become comfortable with herself and her body image. So when her college’s star quarterback addresses her as “Big Red” in one of their shared classes, he instantly earns her animosity. Drew Baylor is tall, gorgeous, extremely athletic and popular in all areas of college life. As Anna just wants to keep her head down and […]
Courtney Milan romances are the best kind of romances
Full disclosure, I am a huge Courtney Milan fangirl. She is simply the best at writing fun, swoony, smart romances. So when I found out she was writing something modern, I had to get my hands on it. She did not disappoint! In some ways, I actually liked this modern story better than her historical romances. Trade Me alternates viewpoints between billionaire Blake Reynolds and overworked Tina Chen. Tina is just trying to make it through college so she can get a good job and […]
