Remember when we used to be friends?

For You by Kristen Ashley

by 7 Comments

PATTY: Say it. Admit it. SAY IT. KATIE:  FINE. Fine. Kristen Ashley’s FOR YOU is actually fine, maybe even edging into decent/good. It’s the first book in her ‘Burg series, and if someone sent you this book to read with nothing identifying who wrote it, you’d probably think it’s an okay romantic suspense novel even if it is a little wordy. PATTY: February Owens and Alec Colton were once upon a time a dream couple. The *something* happened and February broke up with Colton and twenty years later they barely speak to each other but there’s all this yearning. Katie: […]

She’s Back!

Wild Like the Wind by Kristen Ashley

by Leave a Comment

KATIE: Y’all. Kristen Ashley has finally managed to surprise me. In WILD LIKE THE WIND, she has created a book that begins with a bit of history relevant to the Chaos Motorcycle Club, LOTS of sex, and an attempt at redeeming a previously unlikable character so he can be the hero of this story. PATTY: YAY! SHE’S BACK! We have missed her so. KATIE: You could say this one starts off with a BANG. NOT THAT KIND OF A BANG. Duh. This kind. And many more just like it. Y’all, this book ain’t nothing but sex interspersed with the care […]

An insult to avocado toast

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

by 9 Comments

katie: I take full responsibility for this one. I somehow missed A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness the first time around. My interest was piqued after seeing a trailer for the new series featuring Matthew Goode. Here. Have some eye candy: Katie: Anyway, I messaged Patty and was like, “we may have a contender.”

Well, I guess the red capes had to come from somewhere

Genesis Part VII - Chapters 26-30 by 6000 years of male privelege

by 4 Comments

Previously on Supernatural… Sarah’s death, Abraham’s death, Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah: the best little camel waterer in Texas, and sibling rivalry, as per the usual. In this installment… Patty: There was a severe famine so Isaac hightailed it to Gerar. God told him to stay put and not to go to Egypt and that if he obeyed, he would be rewarded with God’s standard offer of blessings and descendants. Now, stop me if you’ve heard this one but Isaac tells everyone in town that Rebekah is his sister (because of her great beauty, he was afraid they would kill him […]

Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

The Hookup (Moonlight & Motor Oil Series Book 1) by Kristen Ashley

by 5 Comments

Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series.   Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s heroines, she’s overcome a lot to find a little niche of happiness. She’s got a […]

The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson

by 4 Comments

Intro Katie: As is so often the case, Patty messaged me and said I needed to read The Opposite of You by Rachel Higginson. You can imagine my skepticism at this point. Then she added the deciding words: it’s cheap and Mariana Zapata. Patty: Have a little faith. I stumble upon decent reads every once in a while. A great while. My advice isn’t all bad… The reference to Mariana Zapata came into play because though we adore her, she tends to be a little long-winded. This book was perfect in length, the author’s style is reminiscent of Zapata but […]

Blurred Lines and Sharp Twists

When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann

by 11 Comments

You always know what to expect – especially when reading romance novels – until suddenly you don’t. Kinda like life: it just happens. It’s messy and funny and absurd and surreal but never, not for one second, can you ever really be sure of what’s going to happen next. Our heroine, Parker, has to move home after a two year peacing-out which happened after her sister’s wedding. The same sister – twin sister, no less – who Parker caught doing the dirty with Parker’s boyfriend and who ended up marrying said boyfriend. Suffice it to say, Parker is a wee […]
