Those brown eyes full of silver moonlight focused and her gaze found his as he took her into a dance for two instead of one.

Wings Once Cursed and Bound by Piper J Drake

by 4 Comments

I liked this a lot. Wings Once Cursed and Bound is an intriguing start to a paranormal romance series. It is getting marketed as “for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer Armentrout,” which I think is setting up assumptions about the book that won’t hold up. It is a fantasy romance, but it’s set in an alternate universe Seattle, not a fantasy world. Peeraphan, called Punch by her friends, is at a dance rehearsal when she is offered a gorgeous pair of red shoes. She is […]

The Demon Inside Me by Chace Verity

by Leave a Comment

I adore Chace Verity’s queer demon romances. Their human characters are working class and their sensibilities are solidly anti-bootstraps. Colby works at a low end big box store where, as he says, dreams go to die. Colby makes enough to pay rent and occasionally have a night out with the guys he has been friends with since junior high. He’s in the group chat, but their lives have diverged from his – they make more money and have office jobs that get more respect. Colby […]

A Bananapants Guide to Befriending Bears

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

by 8 Comments

I made the terrible mistake of starting this book at 10:30 pm. I planned to pick a book that I would read the next day, but instead I kept reading until 2 am. I could not stop laughing. Finally, I got so tired that I dropped my tablet on my face. Technically, this is a romance. But it’s really more about the MacKilligan sisters – Charlie, Max, and Stevie. Charlie, Max, and Stevie share a ne’r-do-well father, a honey badger shifter named Freddy McKilligan.  Charlie, […]

Epic Romances Rarely Start With a 5 Year Stiffy

Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole

by 4 Comments

Am rereading the entire IAD series so I can follow along with the insightful Fated Mates podcast by the delightful Sarah MacLean and Jen Prokop. Ironically they didn’t cover this one (or will later for reasons) so the jokes on me. This is a spoilery discussion of the book more than a proper review, so ye be warned. Myst is a valkyrie warrior, who in this world, all tend to have a special super power. Myst’s super power is using her sexuality to manipulate men. […]
