Must Love Dogs

July 31, 2017 by Lynn Leave a Comment

Oh Jennifer. You’re so fluffy and light and fun and innocuous. Sometimes, that’s just what a girl needs. Nina Askew has just moved in to her new apartment on the second floor of a three flat building. She’s left her dolt of an ex-husband, and she’s forty and fabulous. Well, fabulous on the outside, but as any woman of a certain age knows, sometimes it’s hard to be fabulous on the inside. But Nina’s giving it the old college try, and even goes so far […]

Blurred Lines and Sharp Twists

July 22, 2017 by PattyKates 11 Comments

You always know what to expect – especially when reading romance novels – until suddenly you don’t. Kinda like life: it just happens. It’s messy and funny and absurd and surreal but never, not for one second, can you ever really be sure of what’s going to happen next. Our heroine, Parker, has to move home after a two year peacing-out which happened after her sister’s wedding. The same sister – twin sister, no less – who Parker caught doing the dirty with Parker’s boyfriend […]

Perverted Ghosts

July 18, 2017 by Lane Leave a Comment

This book is not my usual type, but frankly I am running out of historical m/m by authors I trust and this author was recommended on Goodreads, so I gave this a shot. From the Amazon description: When lonely artist Siôn Ruston retreats to the seaside village of Rosewick Bay, Yorkshire, to recover from a suicide attempt, he doesn’t expect to encounter any ghosts, let alone the one who appears in his bedroom every morning at dawn. He also doesn’t expect to meet his ghost’s […]

Black and White (and Red) all over

So…This book wasn’t what I expected, not really. And that’s not a bad thing at all.

A fantasy romance with a librarian heroine

June 25, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars From Goodreads: Magic has broken free all over the Twelve Kingdoms. The population is beset by shapeshifters and portents, landscapes that migrate, uncanny allies who are not quite human…and enemies eager to take advantage of the chaos.  Dafne Maillouix is no adventurer – she’s a librarian. But the High Queen trusts Dafne’s ability with languages, her way of winnowing useful facts from a dusty scroll, and even more important, the subtlety and guile that three decades under the thumb of a tyrant taught […]

Excellent book, God-awful cover. Seriously, Avon Marketing Department, WTF?

June 25, 2017 by Malin 3 Comments

This is book 2 in a trilogy and if you’ve not read Burn for Me yet, that’s where you really should begin. While you could begin the story with this one, you’ll get a better introduction to the story, characters and world-building if you start with book 1. It’s been a few months since the events of the first book, and Nevada has been practising her abilities, learning more about what she can do and how she can control them. She insists makes Augustine Montgomery […]

    I was agog after reading that sentence. Could not read on for five minutes. I mean, wtf.

    “Skin covered finger bones”—that’s hilarious. This was a very satisfying review.

    No heist, but it still feels a little heist-y due to some heist-adjacent action.
