Cinnamon Roll by Anna Zabo

While I’ve read a few of the other books in this series, I’m not quite caught up, but I’m skipping ahead to this one because I’ve loved the author’s previous work. And look! There’s hockey, ice skating, lots of good food, and a very sweet cinnamon roll Dom. Tom seems to attract all the wrong guys – Doms who don’t treat him right, who equate submission with humiliation. In frustration, he posts an ad at Bold Brew looking for a new Dom, but even with […]

Much more than super hot, sticky, sweet

So, I read this tweet from our very own Emmalita recommending Cinnamon Roll (Bold Brew Book 9) by Anna Zabo because it is a masterclass in setting up the story. It is that. It is also a fantastic example of BDSM romance that is actually safe, sane and consensual while being SUPER sexy. (And BDSM isn’t even a particular kink of mine, so that says A LOT.) Even more importantly, it is a romance novel where the leads actually communicate with each other. I was […]

I am on a streak of extraordinarily good books. Anna Zabo is a phenomenally good writer. I know kinky queer romance isn’t everyone’s bag, but Zabo is such a good writer I want everybody to read them. They write so beautifully I have been unable to review their novella, Weave the Dark, Weave the Light because it is beyond my ability to describe. I can only say the language cuts you like a knife and then you say thank you. Maxime and Tom have circled […]

I was excited to see Behind the Sun, Above the Moon on NetGalley and delighted to receive it in exchange for an honest review. A Queer anthology inspired by magic and the cosmos, a vast and beautiful place where planets, stars, comets—entire galaxies, even—live without borders, specifications or binaries. Stories span science fiction, science fantasy, contemporary, fabulism and magical realism, and celebrate Non-binary and Transgender characters. I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I requested this because Anna Zabo is […]

A Book Exchange Extravaganza From Bothari43

December 12, 2019 by Emmalita 4 Comments

Bothari43 has been very kind to me this Book Exchange season. She sent me three ebooks – Anna Zabo’s Syncopation (sorry about your search algorithm), Tasha Suri’s Empire of Sand, and Lois McMaster Bujold’s Beguilement (The Sharing Knife). In addition to that largess, I now have a lovely cephalopod print and a 5 year daily journal of questions and answers. I am so excited!

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
