Is this what is known as a beach read in that it is something disposable you can follow easily whilst also making sure your toddler doesn’t drown? Bella Andre’s contemporary romance The Way You Look Tonight is easily one of the most obvious, pedestrian, and stereotypically bad novels I have ever read. Book one of a series, The Seattle Sullivans, that I will not only not be reading, it is one I would gladly use volumes of for a campfire. Rafe Sullivan is a physically attractive private detective whose […]
Not as entertaining as her historical novels
3.5 stars Actor John Tennessee McCord was the star of a long-running TV show, but recently, his career has taken a bit of a dive. Having been one half of a big Hollywood power couple and then being rather publically dumped last year certainly hasn’t helped. Now he’s got a new TV series lined up about the California gold rush and while scouting out the locations for it, his pickup truck breaks down in Hellcat Canyon. Not that he minds all that much, as the […]
A giffy live-blog of a wet turd
When I started Stranded with a Billionaire, I knew it was going to be a silly read. The title gave it away, as did the whole billionaire premise to begin with. What I didn’t know was that I was already going to be shaking my head incredulously inside of the first five pages. So, I decided to do something I haven’t quite done before in a review, which is something of a live-blog of this book. -> 3% Wasting no time at all, our hero […]

An Author on Triple Secret Probation Redeems Herself
3.5 stars, but rounded down to 3 because of past bad behavior. It was with great trepidation and a whole lot of “this is a bad idea” that I purchased Penny Reid’s Grin and Beard It. I had read books of hers I liked, books I really disliked, and a series that took me hostage. Reid is good at witty banter and female friendships, but has written some dubious, or outright abusive, male protagonists and is overly fond of big misunderstandings and high drama fuckery. […]
Julien-Shaped Shrug
Worst Read of the Year Contender! All-around good person, Kate, runs a local food bank. Desperate for funds, she makes a local TV appearance asking for donations. Her storefront is delighted to receive a recurring anonymous monthly donation of $1,000. It always arrives in a paper bag and Kate delights in dumping the money out. If it’s singles and the local peeler bar is taking contributions, it might work. If it’s $5 or $10 bills, it’s still vaguely okay, but if the bills are any […]
