I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed this story didn’t play out more like the second (and superior) second season of “Justified,” I still came away enjoying a sweet romantic story about a girl so desperate to get out of her small-ass town she’ll resort to illegal moonshining to help her pay her way through college. Of course, falling in love with the podunk hillbilly hearththrob/recovering alcoholic wasn’t exactly part of the plan. Then again, when is it ever?
Death becomes her
Oh, Nora Roberts, why can’t I quit you? Change your name, “change” your genre, it matters not- I’m yours. Ceremony in Death, the fifth in the In Death series, is perhaps the quirkiest of the series thus far. This time Detective Eve Dallas is thrust into a murder investigation involving black/white magic, a fellow officer’s death, and the occult. Oh, my! Unfortunately, she is also forced to keep her mentor/father-figure/friend, Fenney, at arms length due to an internal affairs investigation. That also means her charming, […]
Live and Let Die
Victor Bayne lives in a slightly different America in Among the Living. In his America, it’s commonly accepted that there are people with varying degrees of psychic ability, and many of those train to be cops. It’s much easier to solve crime if you have a leg up, after all. Their partners are ALWAYS “Stiffs”, or people with no psychic ability, because their detective work is somehow more creditable if verified by a normal person. The idea is that the psychic will use their abilities […]
Better than 50 Shades of Oh Creepy Stalker No
Somebody, somewhere, recommended Push the Button as an alternative for those who are interested in reading about 24/7 BDSM lifestyles, rather than 50 Shades of BDSM Doesn’t Work That Way (and also as a book with persons of color as the protagonists). I don’t remember who, now, but I am ever curious so I picked it up. I’m afraid I’m about to damn the book with faint praise: it wasn’t terrible. Certainly it was a quick read, and I liked Star/Nicole and David even if […]
Beyond my horizons
I initially grabbed Beyond Shame because it was free on Kindle, and then picked up its sequel, Beyond Control, because I was intrigued. Like many series of its ilk, it’s kind of more-of-the-same, kind of not, and YMMV on how much you enjoy each individual book based on how much you like the lead couple. The series is fairly hardcore erotic romance, and it’s definitely out of my comfort zone, so it’s kind of hard for me to review it. Public group sex is the […]
Claire and Jamie grow up
Voyager (1994) is Diana Gabaldon’s third book in her Outlander series with Claire and Jamie. I flew through Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber even as I realized they had some problems, but this one finally slowed me down. I started reading it back in December and skipped around to many other books while I was pushing through it. Like all of Gabaldon’s books, a lot happens in this one. For all intents and purposes, it is impossible to review Voyager without spoilers to the first […]
