I can’t believe this is how I am starting my very first Cannonball Read. I feel like my next review will have to be “War and Peace” for you guys to actually take me seriously. In Russian, obviously. But before I pretend to be all respectable and stuff, let’s dive into some gay plane sex! Shout out to Patty Smith for loaning me the book, and getting this whole mess started. Honestly, I was tempted to just post excerpts from the book with insightful comments […]
He’s come undone
I have a stack of books that I am reading and will be reading. Books I selected specifically for CBR7 and my goal of 52 reviews this year. My list is heavy on the scifi and fantasy, but romance keeps sticking it’s pretty nose in my list, so another romance it is. Mrs. Julien kindly lent me Cecila Grant’s novella, A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong. I must read it within 2 weeks, so what am I to do, but quickly read and review? Mr. Andrew […]

Rock me like a hurricane
The world that Thea Harrison has created for her Elder Races series is a complex, fully realized one with many cultures and traditions having their stories told. As you go further into the series, it becomes clear that she is committed to giving each its own time in the spotlight, and I kind of love that. It makes for richer, more interesting story telling since characters that were the protagonists in earlier novels become maybe not antagonists, but definitely on an opposing side from the […]
Unexpectedly Histrionic Historical Romance
The Secrets of Richard Kenworthy by Julia Quinn
A new release, The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy is the fourth book in Julia Quinn’s Smythe-Smith Regency romance series. I feel like all of my reviews of her recent novels are repetitive, to wit: Julia Quinn is an excellent gateway author for people who want to try Regency romance. The writing is light and fun. Deft is the word I always come back to. Since her Bridgerton series, her quality has fallen off a bit. The Bridgerton series is really strong though. It has […]
