Do you have a favorite genre and, if so, what is it? Can I have 2-ish? First up would have to be sci-fi/fantasy/speculative. I know that’s not exactly a single genre, but some of my favorites really do end up combining, like the Checquy Files (?although the third says the series is now the Rook Files) series, most anything non-horror by P. Djeli Clark, and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series (I’ve read the whole thing), I’ve also been drifting slightly towards the cozy side of things, such […]
Jolene doesn’t have red hair, okay?
The Home-wrecker by Sara Cate
Sara Cate continues to be one of my favorite romance authors. Her new novel, The Home-wrecker, is the second installment in a series about the Goode family, a family recovering from the toxic Christianity of its fallen-from-grace patriarch who happens to have been a megachurch pastor before being brought up on attempted murder charges. Wow, that sentence is a mouthful, especially since he’s a secondary character. Caleb is a successful defense attorney who is married to Briar, his college sweetheart. Like many couples, they are […]
Thank God. A sexy pirate that isn’t Jack Sparrow.
Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey
I recently re-read Johanna Lindsey’s classic pirate romance, Gentle Rogue. I was curious to see how it held up since the way romances are written have changed so much since it’s original publication date. Back in the day, I’d read several of her previous novels, but this is the one that made her a must read whenever a new novel came out. I’d originally intended to include a ton of gifs from Ladyhawke in honor of the eclipse, but I didn’t get the review written […]
Definitely a formula, but an enjoyable one
Knot Guaranteed by Jillian West
Knot Wanted by Jillian West
I find myself reading a lot of Omegaverse* lately, which lead me to stumble upon Jillian West as a recommended author from Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program. I have finished two of her novels so far, Knot Guaranteed and Knot Wanted, and found them to be essentially the same book, but an enjoyable book. Wait. Let me explain: enjoyable if you are into why choose romance that takes place in an alternate universe. Which is not to say that it reads like fantasy or science fiction, […]
The Value in Horrible Things is What You Make of Them
There Are No Saints by Sophie Lark
There is No Devil by Sophie Lark
Sophie Lark has written herself a duology that is seriously dark and twisted with There Are No Saints and There is No Devil. Go ahead and insert a blanket trigger warning here. If you are easily offended or triggered by any thing, this is not the set of books for you. In fact, I almost didn’t start them when I realized that Cole, the male lead, is a serial killer, and that the female lead, Mara, is his latest obsession. Because that is messed up on […]
Desperately Wanting
Knot Her Goal by Ari Wright
Ari Wright has written a delightful bonbon of an Omegaverse why choose romance in Knot Her Goal. It is the first in a series of standalone sports romances set in an Omegaverse world. (I included a definition below for those of you not familiar with the concept.) Meg finds herself in desperate need of a job after being unfairly fired from a marketing job because of her Omega tendencies. The only place she gets an interview is with the football franchise Ospreys, which literally states […]
