Crazy for loving you: a Bluewater billionaires romantic comedy by Pippa Grant

Happy escapism and silliness Two books, in different series, but by the same author and featuring brothers as their respective heroes. I started reading Pippa Grant on an epic 40 hour trek from Australia to a farmhouse in France (back in 2019, before the pandemic). I don’t know how that first book ended up on my kindle, but I spent a bit of time in Singapore getting several more onto my kindle before we flew onwards (Brisbane to Singapore is apparently 7 1/2 hours). I […]

These fierce Honey Badger sisters are not meant to be underestimated

Hot and Badgered (Honey Badger Chronicles #1) by Shelly Laurenston

In a Badger Way (Honey Badger Chronicles #2) by Shelly Laurenston

by 1 Comment

Since I enjoyed Shelly Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, I started her new trilogy focused on shifters rather than Viking warriors. We got a very small peek of the shifter world in the Crow books, so I was intrigued. The Honey Badger Chronicles follows the misadventures of three sisters who can’t seem to stay out of trouble.

Bingo Review 6: Adaptation I never did go see the movie Crazy Rich Asians, but when it first came out and was such a big hit, I thought it sounded entertaining, and picked up the book. It’s been on my shelf ever since. I haven’t gotten to it until now because I often don’t like general fiction novels or romance. This book was written very much as a romantic comedy, and much of the plot follows the expected trajectory of boy and girl are getting […]

by 1 Comment

Naomi Westfield is engaged to be married to the handsome, thoughtful Nicholas Rose. They are a saccharine pair, complete with their own wedding hashtag (#TrueLovesKissFromARose) and schmoopy social media posts. Naomi has a dark secret, though: she despises Nick and desperately wants out. But she can’t really afford to initiate the break-up, so she has to get Nick to want to leave her. And away we go. I look at Nicholas and realize I am actually marrying this man. Forty percent because I love him […]

Happiness for Humans by P.Z. Reizin

Jen is a struggling writer (aren’t we all). She doesn’t have much direction in life (who does). To make things even worse, her smarmy lawyer boyfriend has not only decided that he doesn’t want to have kids with Jen, but that he doesn’t even want to be with Jen. She takes a writing assignment about a tech company, and later comes on full-time for the company for a year in order to become a conversation partner with an AI named Aiden (get it). The idea is […]
