by Leave a Comment

Angelica is an overachiever. She can’t help herself. She loves to be counted as someone people can rely on. But she’s not relying on her body failing her, and after burnout leaves her too numb to do much else besides lie in bed, she gets into therapy and decides to choose one project to focus on instead of ALL the projects! She lands an internship at a local theatre which is celebrating its anniversary by mounting its very first show, an adaptation of East of the […]

This isn’t an eighties sitcom. I can’t casually accept an orphan into my house for comic relief.

The Sunken Mall by K.D. Edwards

Scenes from the Holidays by K.D. Edwards

The Great Atlantean Battle Royalchemy by K.D. Edwards

by 2 Comments

These are a series of novellas meant to fill in gaps between the three books in the Tarot Sequence. I’m reviewing them because it gives me an excuse to share more epic quotes from my favorite new characters. The Sunken Mall I had started to pull on my magical sight when Ciaran spotted a convenience store pharmacy combo behind us called CVS. He pointed and said, “You will leave that store alone in particular. I called dibs. Anything with a -cet after it goes in […]

Just Might Work by Katia Rose

And so, my journey through the sapphic romances of Katia Rose comes to an end. Originally this review of Just Might Work was going to be “Oh hey so this one has the best smut of the lot” but then I read Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner and frankly that blew everyone out of the water in the smut department, so with all due respect to the smut, I will be forced to talk about the way in which I liked the characters, very much […]

Oh, dang, this book has fallen out of my brain since July. I remember that I was really charmed by it upon finishing, but it hasn’t really stuck with me. I’m sure if I picked it up again, the reasons why I liked it so much would come back to me, but it does justify for me not giving this five stars on the first go-round, because a five-star read really should be “sticky”. Our two main characters in this here romance are Delia, newly […]

I adore romance trilogies where a trio of lady friends find their perfect partner, one set per book. CBR14 Bingo: Bodies

A Prince on Paper: A Reluctant Royals novel by Alyssa Cole

by 1 Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Bodies – There is a pair of attractive bodies on the cover.  Nya discovers what pleasures her body. Is there a name for the sub-set of romance that has a trio of women friends finding their perfect partner across a trilogy?  I enjoy them!  Nora Roberts was my introduction and I devoured several.  Then there was a long hiatus of romance reading.  Cannonball Read inspired me to start seeking out new romances and that brought me to Alyssa Cole, and her “Reluctant Royals” series.  […]
