Ruffled Feathers: an Omegaverse Romcom by Grace McGinty

by Leave a Comment

Grace McGinty’s Ruffled Feathers: An Omegaverse Romcom makes for such a delightful palate cleanser after some of the truly dark romance that I’ve been reading lately. Romcom is the perfect descriptor for this luscious bonbon. There are multiple meet cutes since it’s a why choose romance. There are amusing high jinx involving adorable animals. Which is not to say that it’s completely saccharine. There are some mild taboos – the FMC and one of the MMCs are stepsiblings, but their parents didn’t meet and get […]

An easily accessible Game of Thrones with more dragons

Dragon Found by Sam Hall

Dragon Fight by Sam Hall

by Leave a Comment

As I was reading two why choose fantasy romances by Sam Hall, Dragon Found and Dragon Fight, I was struck by the depth of the world building that went on. It was apparent that Hall has spent considerable time mapping out the history and culture of the land they are writing about, and that they really spent time fleshing out their characters (which, honestly, were tropes, but well done ones). The inevitable comparison is obviously Game of Thrones, but with more sex and dragons. It’s […]

I am reviewing this just so I can recommend a different book.

Pucking Around by Emily Rath

by 2 Comments

I’ve seen Emily Rath’s Pucking Around mentioned a lot in my romance circles, so I took a look. I love a high heat romance, and Why choose? can be a fun trope. I am dnfing at 47%. It has a couple of issues that bother me, and I’ve read a version of this I liked better so I’ve lost interest in finishing it. I’m trading in Rachel, Jake, Caleb and Ilmari for a reread of Rachel, Ace, Cruz and the horny denizens of the Sector 4. […]

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty

by 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 […]

An Inheritance of Monsters by Cate Corvin

by Leave a Comment

2022 was the year I really got into romance novels. I started with The Love Hypothesis, and quickly moved on to smuttier and smuttier books. After binge-reading about half of the Ice Planet Barbarians series, I started reading monster smut and I have never looked back! An Inheritance of Monsters tells the story of Juno, a paranormal investigator with a successful YouTube channel. Unlike most of her male counterparts, she can actually see ghosts. However, until she visits Duskwood Manor, she has never seen monsters. […]
