Not going to lie, I totally started reading this book because with a name like A Forbidden Rumspringa, I thought it’d be hilariously over the top and I figured I’d be able to laugh about it with bookish friends later. Andrews managed to take a silly sounding premise and turn it into a well-written romance that takes its characters and their problems seriously. The story takes place in a small Amish community in northern Minnesota called Zebulon. Apparently there’s a lot of variation within Amish […]
An arranged marriage, two races who hate each other. Of this romance is born.
Radiance by Grace Draven is the book of the month for Vaginal Fantasy. I am beginning to despair over the choices made for that particular book club. It’s not that Radiance is bad exactly, it’s just a ridiculous piece of fluff that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense once you start to think about various plot elements. Brishen Khaskem is a prince of the Kai and Ildiko is a human noble woman of a neighboring kingdom. The kai and humans find each other to […]
Wicked After Midnight
As a long time Pajiba reader (but never commentor, always lurker) I remember AlabamaPink’s charm and wit and was saddened by the world’s loss when she passed. As a parent of an 8 and 4 year old, my to read pile is ever increasing at a steady rate as I don’t seem to have the time to read that I once did. This year I have decided to read more, and justify all the books I buy, and figured the Cannonball Read would be a […]
This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no fooling around.
We’re back, bitches. Now new and improved with the PattyKates tag instead of appearing mixed in with Katie’s solo reviews. And, to get us off to an interesting start, Patty has selected King by T.M. Frazier. Patty: King is the story of a homeless amnesiac named Doe (as in, Jane Doe) and the questionable love story between her and a criminal named King. We’ll get to the part where Katie messaged me with “What fresh hell is this?!” in a bit. […]
An Amanda Quick Read
Garden of Lies is a typical non-supernatural Amanda Quick novel. The romance and mystery combo fans have come to expect, though not the best Quick book out there. It made for a pleasant light read over the holiday weekend.
One of my favorite romance heroines
Bella was one of my favorite characters in earlier books, so I’m glad she got her own book. I feel like it’s rare to see such a sex-positive, confident, no apologies for being sexy kind of female character. Maybe I’m just reading the wrong books. It was great fun to see traditional romance tropes turned on their heads in The Shameless Hour. Bella, manager of the men’s hockey team, likes to sleep around and she doesn’t really give a shit what anyone says about it. […]
