I liked it, but I didn’t love it. Carrying purse snacks is an excellent idea, though

November 24, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

Alexa Monroe is in San Francisco to celebrate her sister’s promotion when she gets stuck in an elevator for an extended period of time with an attractive stranger. Naturally, they strike up a conversation and Alexa learns that the hot guy, Drew Nichols, is a paediatric surgeon, in town to go to the wedding of his ex-girlfriend and one of his best friends. Obviously, he’s not exactly thrilled, and the woman supposed to be his plus one cancelled on him. While they eat some of […]

A magical sports world where every athlete is uncommonly attractive and devoted to true love

November 24, 2018 by alwaysanswerb 2 Comments

Kristen Callihan is a hot name in NA, for her Game On series, which are football romances between the athlete heroes — all of whom are as astonishingly dedicated to academic/intellectual pursuits as to football — and heroines who are very outspoken about how little they are impressed with the formers’ football fame. The books tend toward insta-lust that becomes love *quite* quickly. I’m not bothered by insta-lust/love unilaterally, but if you read too many of that type of story in a row, the heat […]

Very sweet “friends to lovers” romance

November 17, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

Hazel Bradford is rather intense and most people, certainly the guys she’s ever shown any interest in, can’t really handle her, or prefer to deal with her in small doses. Her spirited enthusiasm and quirky personality is ideal in her work as a fourth grade teacher, however, and the friends she does have love her to bits and appreciate her for who she is. Josh Im may be one of the most laid back men Hazel has ever met. They got to know each other […]

Just what I needed

November 14, 2018 by FyreHaar 2 Comments

Y’all, it’s been a motherfucker of a year. I need comfort and this book is it. Rebekah Weatherspoon is at the top of my must-buy list. She writes fun, satisfying romance with diversity of race, body type, sexuality, gender, it’s an intersectional love fest with her and I am here for it. In Rafe we have, well, Rafe! The Buff Male Nanny. He’s red headed, bearded, tattooed, and his masculinity is non-toxic. He’s just left his latest nanny gig when then family he works for […]

This book will make you hungry (Third bingo!)

October 24, 2018 by Malin 1 Comment

#CBR10Bingo: Delicious From Goodreads: In downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lou works tirelessly to build her beloved yet struggling French restaurant, Luella’s, into a success. She cheerfully balances her demanding business and even more demanding fiancé…until the morning she discovers him in the buff—with an intern. Witty yet gruff British transplant Al is keeping himself employed and entertained by writing scathing reviews of local restaurants in the Milwaukee newspaper under a pseudonym. When an anonymous tip sends him to Luella’s, little does he know he’s arrived on […]

Stop getting the British peerage wrong! If you can research the American Civil War, you can easily discover the difference between Royal and non-royal dukes

October 4, 2018 by Malin 4 Comments

1.5 stars #CBR10Bingo: Cover Art Spoiler warning! This review will discuss plot points from the book in detail, because it is impossible for me to list the many ways in which this book did not work for me without mentioning them. If you are unfamiliar with Scotland, Edinburgh and couldn’t care less about the British peerage, then maybe these things will not bother you. Nevertheless, be warned that you may get spoilers if you continue with my review after the link to my blog. New York […]
