My Lady's Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel by Kitty Curran & Larissa Zageris

by Leave a Comment

This book was a gift from my friend Jessy for my last birthday, and it was really fun! I’m glad she gave it to me, because I don’t know if I’d have ever gotten around to it on my own. For all you CBR romance addicts, this is definitely a fun book to check out, because it’s obviously written by two women who love and know the genre very well. Going in, I was expecting a straight romance that you could take different paths through, but this is much more of a tongue-in-cheek play on the genre, even a satire […]

Why is Rhysand so sexy? Because it’s always Feyre’s choice.

A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

by Leave a Comment

I’ve now gotten to the third book in Sarah J. Maas’s ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ series, A Court of Wings and Ruin.  Over the past three books I’ve mused about what makes Rhysand such a sexy character, beyond how devastatingly handsome he is, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it has to do with always allowing Feyre to make her own decisions.  He’s charming, flirtatious, intelligent, caring, loyal to a fault, a touch wicked, with just the right amount of restrained violence that makes him so attractive to Feyre.  But what I found so attractive about him is […]

Interlude

The Art of Theft by Sherry Thomas

by 2 Comments

This a review of the fourth book in the Lady Sherlock series, The Art of Theft. If you haven’t read the other books, what are you waiting for? Many people you like that review books on this site love them. I will say, this is the first one I didn’t go back and listen to immediately again to get all the things I missed before. The plot is pretty straightforward, where Mrs. Watson’s friend, the Maharani of Ajmer, is being blackmailed with information tucked away in a painting, which is soon to be auctioned at a Yuletide ball. This review […]

Is this put in the YA category because publishers think sexy faeries aren’t serious enough to be in the ‘adult’ fantasy section?

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

by 2 Comments

The most recent YA books I’ve read are Suzanne Collin’s ‘Hunger Games’ trilogy and Victoria Schwab’s ‘Monsters of Verity’ duology.  Were there heated, passionate moments in those books, yes.  Was there spine tingling sex scenes, nope.  I had the assumption that full on sex was part of the dividing line separating YA from other categories.  But if that is the case, then this series is in the wrong section.  I can’t help but wonder if a decision was made that impossibly attractive faeries having sex was not serious enough to put it in the ‘adult’ fantasy section.  A Court of […]

Delightful slow burn romance

Pisces Hooks Taurus by Anyta Sunday

by Leave a Comment

I’ve discovered that I have a sweet spot for a very specific plot: an uptight, super smart/educated guy gets just swept away by a joyfully enthusiastic not-so-bright sweetheart.  Beckett is an uptight very smart and highly educated professor who went through a hell of a breakup and is still quite tender. Zane is a wrecking ball of good cheer and optimism, a golden retriever of a guy who likely has a learning disability on top of just not being that smart, you know? He’s certainly heard it enough in his life. But he has a lot of gifts, and a […]

Whole Series is a Letdown

Sea Swept by Nora Roberts

Rising Tides by Nora Roberts

Inner Harbor by Nora Roberts

Chesapeake Blue by Nora Roberts

by Leave a Comment

Sea Swept (3 stars) So I lost my mind a little bit this weekend and read all four books in the series which is probably going to color my reviews cause I know what is coming. This book really is around 2 stars, but I rounded it up to 3 based on books #3 and #4 which were pretty terrible. The strongest book in the series is book #2 honestly. Each of the books in this series deals with a Quinn brother. This book really does a nice job of setting up the relationship between the brothers, how much they […]

Great Look at What Makes a Family

The Family Gift by Cathy Kelly

by Leave a Comment

So the newest by Cathy Kelly really hit home. I thought she did a great job with Freya and Freya’s inner voice, Mildred. I also thought at times Freya was acting so unreasonable and I am glad that the book didn’t hide away from how she was behaving at times. I also am glad that not everything ends up happily ever after with several real life events in Freya’s life. I think with contemporary romances authors often want to make everyone be happy and in love and nothing really terrible happens. Kelly did a great job of showing how Freya […]

I came into the Grishaverse backwards

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

by 2 Comments

I came across the Grishaverse backwards.  Last year I read a write up for Leigh Bardugo’s The Language of Thorns and was intrigued by the concept of a book of fairytales that characters in her Grishaverse would have read or been told, when they were children.  The piece said knowledge of the other books was not necessary to enjoy Language of Thorns and I put it on my Cannonball gift exchange wish list.  I was delighted to discover it in my gift box (Thank you, fellow, Cannonballer!), and was entranced reading it.  The fairytales are so well done, familiar but […]
