“Life is built of these little horrible moments and the giant expanses of awesome in between.”

April 6, 2016 by faintingviolet 4 Comments

I needed a fluffy audiobook, and Sweet Filthy Boy fit the bill. If you read melanir’s review of book two in the series, Dirty Rowdy Thing, you know what I mean. I had downloaded this one when it was on sale over at Audible, which was great because almost two weeks ago I had some pretty nasty oral surgery and was hopped up on pain meds for over a week. I had four days immediately following the procedure to recuperate and do nothing. My favorite […]

The book did what I wanted it to do, so we’ll call it a win.

April 3, 2016 by melanir 7 Comments

Every once in a while I read a book simply because I want something uncomplicated, porny, and with a happy ending (no, a HEA not THAT kind of happy ending-though I suppose that’s implied in the ‘porny’). This was that book. The writing is nothing particularly special and the characters are ‘romance novel’ realistic, but the sex is hot and we get a HEA and so it’s a win. Alwaysanswerb reviewed this whole series a few months ago, and this book in particular was the […]

Quarter Cannonball with a Novella. Sounds Right.

February 29, 2016 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

As a quick follow up to Beautiful Player, I do wonder how many of these latter series novellas are just cashing in. I don’t begrudge the authors that, by the way, I just wish it had more of what made Will and Hanna’s full length book fun. Instead her enjoyable cluelessness turned into a stumbling block for the couple. Read the rest of the review, or don’t, it’s pretty cursory and mashed into the larger series summary, on my blog. It does contain this though: […]

She gets along famously with his father, the founder of the company and his older brother, but she pretty much detests her boss and he seems to delight in finding fault with everything she does and says, demanding almost impossible things from her. But behind their seemingly mutual loathing, […]
