My first reaction when I saw the cover was : is he fingering her ? Their positions and faces mimicking the throes of passion can only lead us to think that. I don’t know if I am the only one but this type of cover does not entice me more to buy the book. Fortunately, I came across this book thanks to this review from Smartbitchestrashybooks. Check out their blog, it’s a great one if you are looking for romances. As I don’t want to […]
An Average but Enjoyable Trip to Grouchy England
I will try not to give any spoilers away during my review. Overall I would say that I liked the book. I am a Russo fan so I tend to enjoy fiction that is more character driven. This book fits the character driven category of fiction. The point of character driven fiction is to produce vibrant characters, I am not sure if these characters were quite vibrant enough for me. The main character is a little bit one-dimensional. His driving force is a little unclear. […]
A meh romance for the beginning of 2018
Let’s start this Cannonball and my first review with a romance! After being a lurker for two years, I think it is time for me to payback for all the awesome reviews and reviewers on this website, all the while raising funds for a great cause. Please bear with me and all my grammar and vocabulary mistakes, I am still learning English, writing is much harder than listening to. Any correction about my grammar or wording is welcomed. I came through this book thanks to […]
Do you disapprove of minstrels, too?
I often geek out when visiting historical sites. The whole “OMG, so and so ACTUALLY walked here, lived here, died here…” gets me every time. No surprise then that Juliana Gray’s dedication in “A Strange Scottish Shore” definitely spoke to me: To all those who have stood where history was made and felt its echo.” This is the second in what I truly hope is a continuing series about a no-nonsense administrator, Emmeline Truelove, her employer, the Duke of Olympia, and her would be paramour, […]
Mind numbingly tedious
Being terrible for buying tons of books at a time, which then sit untouched on my physical and virtual shelves for years whilst I get distracted by newer, shinier books, I thought I’d start this year by trying to get through some of my backlog. I picked Lorna Doone – this was a HUGE mistake, nearly robbing me of my reading mojo just two books into the new year. John Ridd is a farmer in the village of Oare and leads a simple enough life. […]
“There was something reassuring about the realness of outright hostility.”
I mean, this was definitely Written By A Man. This is a sports romance between a famously aggressive NFL player (Gavin, bisexual and in the closet) who is under house arrest for a brawl that was caught on camera, and the personal assistant (Noah, openly gay former social worker) he hires to help him manage his life while he can’t leave his house. There is much personality clashing, discussion of power dynamics, class issues, football, and sex. It is smart, also, and doesn’t give two […]
