This Guy Listened to Blurred Lines a Few Too Many Times

March 11, 2015 by yesknopemaybe 2 Comments

Honestly, I was so annoyed by this book that I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. A friend gave it a glowing review so I decided to give it a try, but unfortunately the book was a weird mixture of boring and obnoxious. I got a little more than halfway through and decided it wasn’t worth my time, even as a hate read. Maggie Jameson is the heir to the New York Saints baseball team until her father sells it to “the devil” aka […]

Contemporary Romance with Twice the Attractive Heroes

March 10, 2015 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

I found these contemporary romances through the magic of KindleUnlimited. The Backup Boyfriend and The Boyfriend Mandate are the first two books in the Boyfriend Series by River Jaymes which also includes Brad’s Bachelor Party (see way below) and the upcoming novel The Boyfriend Makeover. The Backup Boyfriend Opting against the more traditional tattoo or radical haircut, Alec responds to his break up with Tyler by going full-on midlife crisis and buying a vintage motorcycle. He’s done all of the research and none of the […]

The Last Man on Mars is Super Quippy. Also. In Mortal Danger…dun-dun-duuuun!

March 10, 2015 by tillie Leave a Comment

It is not often that a book about a man stranded on Mars could take place just about anywhere – but The Martian by Andy Weir could. In The Martian we meet Mark Watney the only man left on Mars due to a freak accident and misunderstanding. But this is merely a setup for a battle between Man and the elements of Mars. And if anyone stands a chance it’s Watney – the engineer of the space crew that abandoned him. The book does not […]

50 Shades of Liveblogging and a Drinking Game (NSFW Language Ahoy)

March 9, 2015 by TyburnBlossom 14 Comments

Rather than attempting to review Fifty Shades of Grey, I present my live read of the book. Herein you’ll find lots of cussing, lots of shouting, and definitely not safe for work descriptions of plenty of things. And it’s very long, because it turns out I had a lot to say while I was reading. A drinking game evolved during the reading, and the whole thing has been compiled at the end, if that’s the sort of thing you’re interested in.

Finally, a Romance Hero With a Beard

March 9, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 3 Comments

A HERO WITH A BEARD! My first lumbersexual after 3 years and 300 books. I may need a moment. Penny Reid’s great Knitting in the City series continues with Beauty and the Mustache, a book that also happens to introduce a family of brothers (Cletus, Beauford, Jethro, Billy, Duane, and Roscoe) set for their own stories. They all have beards, too! Huzzah! Ashley Winston is a nurse living in Chicago and she has just come home to rural Tennessee to learn why her mother is not […]

The T-Rex and the Mouse

March 8, 2015 by Malin 2 Comments

Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC from NetGalley in return for a fair and objective review. The book will be on general release 10/03/15. Charlotte Baird is anxious and painfully shy due to some unresolved trauma involving her first, very unfortunately chosen boyfriend. When the company she works for hires a new CEO, known for his ruthless efficiency, to come clean up the mess left by corruption and mismanagement, she and pretty much everyone else is terrified they might lose their jobs. Yet Gabriel Bishop, […]
