Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series. Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s […]
Favorite book of this series. Loved it.
Please ignore the overgrown beefsteak on the cover of this book. I cannot imagine a worse dude to put on the cover to represent this lovely story. Okay, well, that’s a lie. I can imagine worse. But still! It is not representative! That is a LARGE MAN WITH UNREALISTICALLY LARGE MUSCLES. The hero of this book is a normal man with a more lean physique and probably very pale, because he is English in the 1800s and where is the sun? And also he is […]
An unnecessary sequel?
Dash and Lily met through a red moleskin notebook filled with dares. They egged each other on, two strangers galavanting around New York at Christmas time. They got to know each other through their writing, until their bit of fun turned into romance. The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily picks up a year after our couple met in Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares, and after an initial courtship straight out of a Rom-Com the real world has slammed into them, hard. Lily’s beloved […]
Half a War – only kept me half engaged
In my review for Half the World, book two in the series, I said, “The two can’t stop worrying at each other and their eventual romance, with standard misunderstanding, is pretty predictable. Both characters have good arcs and come to happy endings, I just wasn’t as interested in their perspective of world events as I had Yarvi’s. While I am interested in the events occurring around the Shattered Sea, and how Father Yarvi and Gettland will get through the eventual war that is coming, I hope that […]
Why has this author stopped publishing books? Her voice is so unique!
Okay, is there a legit reason why Cecilia Grant has stopped publishing romance novels? Because I read a lot of them, and both of the books I’ve read by her so far stand apart. It’s a little hard to explain, but her voice is so unique in the genre. 2013 is now five years ago (gross), and that is when she published her last book, so it is high time*. *Some Google-fu has revealed that her once-dormant blog is now semi-active, and she is apparently […]
Good in little bites
Charlotte Stein is a must read for me. So I grabbed this when Kindle told me it was available (all hail my amazonian overlords). Stein’s books are not kissing books, they are fucking books. So there is the usual dance of making sure no one is likely to be reading over my shoulder on my commute train because I like to think my porn is at least mostly private. Her short story collections, of which this is one, are really short tone poems. Like kink […]
