A Romance and Everyone Ever Was Correct…

February 17, 2015 by Beth Ellen 6 Comments

And I’m here. Thank goodness for a snow day today (for 4 inches of snow. Wimps.), because my world just became so much better. BEST ROMANCE YET THIS YEAR. Everyone: if you read romance, and have not read this one yet I MUST INSIST you do so. It does start a touch slow, but oh, goodness was this one a winner. The fifth book of the Pennyroyal Green series, What I Did For a Duke, gave me every feeling I thought my cold, dead, cynical […]

I Swear, I Like Romance…Really!

February 17, 2015 by amberdragonfly Leave a Comment

I met Tillie Cole at an author signing recently. She was adorable and so fun to talk to that I actually expected to like her book as much as I liked her. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. It Ain’t Me Babe is about Mae and Styx, who saw each other across a fence when they were kids for a fleeting moment, but never forgot each other. Mae grew up in a sadistic cult. The night she is supposed to marry the cult leader she makes a […]

Mama said knock you out

February 17, 2015 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Picture, if you will, dear reader, a young Vinnie Jones in an alley behind a pub taking a leak after a night of drinking with the lads. Such is the beginning of J.L. Morrow’s Muscling Through. A visual is provided if you need one. (Get your mind out of the gutter! Head shot only. And, no, not that kind of head! What did I say about the gutter? *Name Redacted*, I’m looking at you…) Larry, a university professor, has just had such an experience, and […]

He can see the women before they’re dead

February 15, 2015 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

So the murderer in this book is a sicko.  He tortured and killed his wife thirty years ago, and she apparently haunts him around the summer solstice.  He’s part of a cult that follows the teachings from a book that a dude decided to make up one year.  It’s supposed to be based on ancient Mayan rituals, but literally, a guy made it up.  So this sicko somehow figured out that if he murders a woman, surgically removes her heart, and eats it, his dead […]

As it is part of the Beautiful Series, I simply added a new section for Beautiful Beloved to the end of my standing review.

A romance with a child labor subplot

February 14, 2015 by Beth Ellen 6 Comments

Back already with more romance (I swear I read other things, but right now it’s just allowing some great zen). My sister, having read all of the Pennyroyal Green series that’s published, suggested that I start with this one, number 8, because it’s one of the best while being easy enough to follow the subplots. It now is one of my favorites! It’s the story this time of Jonathan Redmond (one of Violet’s brothers) and Thomasina de Ballesteros (Tommy), a beautiful young lady of questionable background. […]
