It’s becoming quite the habit that I start one of these books before bed and then stay up to ungodly hours finishing it, because I have no self control. But I just wasn’t tired! And I wanted to see what happened! (Okay, so I knew what was going to happen, that’s the whole point of reading romance novels, but you know what I mean.) An Offer From a Gentleman is the third of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books, and it’s basically a re-telling of Cinderella* (with […]
I glom some more sci-fi mystery/romance
It’s that time of year again, when I decide to check in on Lt. Eve Dallas and her unbelievably wealthy and gorgeous husband Roarke. Just like a long-running TV show with characters and a setting I enjoy, these books are perfect vacation reading for me. Salvation in Death – 3.5 stars – A Catholic priest is poisoned with sacramental wine during the funeral of one of the communities best-loved senior citizens. There are tons of witnesses and initially, it seems impossible that anyone could have anything […]
GFY Sizzle
New to reading m/m romances, I was taken aback by the raw, coarse, and descriptive language of Nick and Bryce’s sexual encounters, which seemed to occur at about every other page after the initial friendship building set up. As a result, I certainly got some updated sex education reading Crossroads, a Gay-for-You romance. Read the full review.
What’s my niche again?
I’d recently celebrated discovering my romance niche–dystopian romance. A Google search led me to some recommendations for Maddy Barone’s “After the Crash” series, so I plunked down the $0.00 to give it a try. What.the.hell. Carla survived a plane crash, but when she and another woman walk to find help they find themselves offered as prizes in a “Bride Fight” because the plane actually crashed 50 years into the future after nuclear war and meteors destroyed the planet which somehow means there are no women. So […]
Mama was right: you DO have to kiss a lot of frogs
I’m not sure quite how to classify You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs. It reads like a memoir but I think it might be fiction. Either way, it’s an interesting look at dating adventures. The novel opens with our narrator Karrie Klein attending yet another bridal shower for yet another friend, enduring the questions about when it will be her turn to get married. She doesn’t normally worry about her perpetually single status, but she’s 45, her acting prospects are drying up, her […]
This book would make V.C. Andrews blush…
I’m woefully behind in my reviews, and so I’ve had some time and space apart from this novel, and I have to tell you, I still don’t know what to think. I can’t tell if I loved it for all of its gothic-ness, or I hated it for all of its horrible characters. So I’m giving it three stars, because that feels like a solidly middle-of-the-pack recommendation, but if you pick this up, know going in to it that you might get to the end […]
