First: I really liked this book. Second: I’m really disappointed I didn’t five star love it. Third: I invented a word to describe my disappointment. That word is ‘swooners,’ and it is to be used in the context of things that make you swoon (obv). As in, unfortunately as much I as I liked this book, it didn’t hit me in my swooners. I’m not exactly sure what part of the body the swooners are in . . . maybe the back of the throat? […]
No Matter How Much This Author Pushes It, I am STILL Not Interested in Four Wheelers
… but I am interested in her characters. There is something truly wonderful about getting just what you are expecting from a book. Take a little time, slow down, read about some characters who aren’t too far from yourself and people you know, but just far enough to be fiction, and have a little happily ever after and steamy times as well. Shannon Stacey uniformly delivers on that promise in each successive work of hers I consume. In some ways, she’s my new Nora Roberts. […]
Long on the Historical, Short on the Romance
This novel came to me through a recommendation on my list of books sorted by author when a commenter wrote that she/he thought someone was missing from my reading list: Sheila Simonson. Always willing to look into a suggestion, I found one of this new-to-me author’s books available on e-loan from my library. Bar Sinister surely had the most authentic feeling historical elements of any romance I have read. (I say feeling because I am not a historian, just a pretentious reviewer.) I wasn’t expecting […]
“Someone wants to kill you? Well, I want to make love to you… With two such compelling alternatives, however will you choose?”
I’ve gotta hand it to Tessa Dare: I was not really sure how I was going to end up liking Julian Bellamy. In the first two books in the Stud Club trilogy, he’s very much that annoying friend in your group that you kind of put up with because he’s always been around, but you don’t really like him all that much. He’s whiny and has the worst case of tunnel-vision about the murder of his friend Leo — blinded by guilt and remorse, he […]
Surprisingly well-written romance
My mom borrowed this novel from a friend of hers, and when I saw the author’s name, I snagged it for myself. I’ve never read anything by Jojo Mayes, but I remember the reviews of her book Me Before You being really good, so I thought I’d try out this one. I really enjoyed The Last Letter from Your Lover, despite the fact that it was wedged a little bit more into the romance genre than I typically read, and I’m going to have to get a copy […]
Celebrity Hero Gossip
Superman/Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Power Couple collects the first several issues of DC’s ongoing Superman/Wonder Woman series. This is another Charles Soule book; the man seems to be writing every major book that Mark Waid is not writing. I would ask how he does it, but he is a lawyer and hard-charging, self-doubting Type As love to take on more than they should so that makes sense. In a way, that’s one of the themes of this book. In this book, Superman and Wonder Woman […]
