Remember when we used to be friends?

For You by Kristen Ashley

by 7 Comments

PATTY: Say it. Admit it. SAY IT. KATIE:  FINE. Fine. Kristen Ashley’s FOR YOU is actually fine, maybe even edging into decent/good. It’s the first book in her ‘Burg series, and if someone sent you this book to read with nothing identifying who wrote it, you’d probably think it’s an okay romantic suspense novel even if it is a little wordy. PATTY: February Owens and Alec Colton were once upon a time a dream couple. The *something* happened and February broke up with Colton and twenty years later they barely speak to each other but there’s all this yearning. Katie: […]

She’s Back!

Wild Like the Wind by Kristen Ashley

by Leave a Comment

KATIE: Y’all. Kristen Ashley has finally managed to surprise me. In WILD LIKE THE WIND, she has created a book that begins with a bit of history relevant to the Chaos Motorcycle Club, LOTS of sex, and an attempt at redeeming a previously unlikable character so he can be the hero of this story. PATTY: YAY! SHE’S BACK! We have missed her so. KATIE: You could say this one starts off with a BANG. NOT THAT KIND OF A BANG. Duh. This kind. And many more just like it. Y’all, this book ain’t nothing but sex interspersed with the care […]

An insult to avocado toast

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

by 9 Comments

katie: I take full responsibility for this one. I somehow missed A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness the first time around. My interest was piqued after seeing a trailer for the new series featuring Matthew Goode. Here. Have some eye candy: Katie: Anyway, I messaged Patty and was like, “we may have a contender.”

This ain’t no party. This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no fooling around.

One on One by Tabitha King

by 5 Comments

I am ashamed to admit, that although I have read pretty much every single word ever published by Stephen King, and most of Joe Hill, and even some of Owen King, I had honestly never even considered reading Tabitha King. It wasn’t until PattyKates wrote a review of One on One back in 2015 that I ever really even thought about reading Tabitha King. That review convinced me to order a used paperback copy, which then sat on my TBR shelf until last weekend. I needed something to read at the pool, so I grabbed it. I had no idea […]

Well, I guess the red capes had to come from somewhere

Genesis Part VII - Chapters 26-30 by 6000 years of male privelege

by 4 Comments

Previously on Supernatural… Sarah’s death, Abraham’s death, Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah: the best little camel waterer in Texas, and sibling rivalry, as per the usual. In this installment… Patty: There was a severe famine so Isaac hightailed it to Gerar. God told him to stay put and not to go to Egypt and that if he obeyed, he would be rewarded with God’s standard offer of blessings and descendants. Now, stop me if you’ve heard this one but Isaac tells everyone in town that Rebekah is his sister (because of her great beauty, he was afraid they would kill him […]

Bon Appétit!

The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson

by 4 Comments

Intro Katie: As is so often the case, Patty messaged me and said I needed to read The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson. You can imagine my skepticism at this point. Then she added the deciding words: it’s cheap and Mariana Zapata. Patty: Have a little faith. I stumble upon decent reads every once in a while. A great while. My advice isn’t all bad… The reference to Mariana Zapata came into play because though we adore her, she tends to be a little long-winded. This book was perfect in length, the author’s style is reminiscent of Zapata but […]

I would not have read this book if not for PattyKates

When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars (one half star for really surprising me) After Parker Cruse found her boyfriend in bed with her twin sister, and said boyfriend went on to marry her twin, Parker has nothing but contempt for cheaters. She’s also not really on speaking terms with her sister or brother-in-law after dosing her sister with laxatives during the wedding. Having initially planned to go follow her boyfriend to college, her plans for the future were derailed for a while. Now she’s moved out of her parents’ house (but only really to her grandparents’ farmhouse across the road) and is trying to figure […]
