“Echoes of her late husband drifted around her, this pernicious and lingering Old Gods notion that a uterus somehow endowed one with inherent childcare abilities.”

The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan Bannen

July 12, 2026 by bjornsnipe Leave a Comment

No one in the town of Eternity expected widowed, middle-aged Twyla Banneker to partner with her neighbor and best friend, Frank Ellis, to join the Tanrian Marshals. But that was eight years ago, and Twyla and Frank have rewarding careers patrolling the strange land of Tanria, despite the misgivings of her grown children. Hey, it beats the alternative; the domestic grind of an empty-nester mother whose sons think she has nothing better to do than be a free babysitter. Fortunately (or unfortunately) a recent decrease […]

The Light, The Dark, and The Dragon

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

December 18, 2024 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Consort of Fire was an insta-buy because I love the author duo Kit Rocha to pieces! Their new duology kicks off with Sachielle on her way to become the said consort of a mysterious dragon lord. He is a powerful man named Ash who can literally become a dragon. This immortal dude is pretty scary, but Sachi isn’t afraid. She has been dreaming of fire and determined to seduce him… The twist is she is on a lifelong path to assassinate him lest she will […]

The Roommate Risk (The Midnight Heat Collection #3) by Talia Hibbert

February 7, 2024 by carmelpie 4 Comments

When she’d asked his name, he wondered if she’d pronounce it right, or if she’d ignore the h and lengthen the u, and he’d have to teach her, have to press his lips against her skin as he sounded it out. She’d pronounced it perfectly of course. ― Talia Hibbert, The Roommate Risk This book was HOT. AS. HELL. Ahem…. Jasmine is impatient. Jasmine is flirty and confident and impossible and bursting with life and passion. She is also living in a crummy apartment where […]

Love Triumphant and a bit with a dog

The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate

July 17, 2023 by katie71483 2 Comments

Okay, so, some of you may remember that I reviewed Purity by Skyler Mason several months ago and that I was… not impressed. Purity was supposed to be spicy romance about someone who was recovering from growing up in purity culture. It wasn’t particularly romantic or sexy or spicy or even a good deconstruction* (see definition below) journey.    Today, I stumbled upon The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate. It is everything that Purity’s author wanted that book to be, but on steroids. It is filled […]

Ask me about my weiner…

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty

June 26, 2023 by katie71483 1 Comment

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty is a delightful little bon bon of a Why Choose? romance about a graphic designer, porn stars, and the sausage food truck owner who loves them. Does that sound like there are some built in jokes and finger scorching sex scenes? If you answered yes, you are today’s grand prize winner! There is also an adorable meet cute involving a gender fluid name, an ad for an unorthodox employment opportunity, & and a scam that strongly brings to mind the Justin […]
