These people are in lust, not love

June 5, 2017 by Debcapsfan 1 Comment

I read Winning It All (Hometown Players) based on the description from the Smart Bitches, Trashy books twitter feed. I’ve been going to professional hockey games since I was a wee little sprite. The cover photo made me laugh for a long time. Also, one of my favorite players, Mathieu Perrault, is French Canadian. He once celebrated a win like this. Amazing, right? Anyway. so this book has Sebastian Deveau who plays defense for the pro team in Seattle (this may happen some day, but […]

Thanks to the CBR romance readers hive mind for this one.

March 8, 2017 by narfna 13 Comments

This is another one of those books I probably wouldn’t have touched were it not for the online book reviewing community. Specifically, all of you fellow romance-reading reviewers here at CBR, who read and reviewed Kulti to pieces starting late last year. I’d never even heard of Mariana Zapata until y’all started raving over this book. I’ve learned to trust our collective hive mind over the years, so I picked this up with one of my Audible credits earlier this year, and decided to save […]

Key to My Heart

January 30, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

What can I really say. I loved this book to pieces. It’s been a while since I can say that a book was picture perfect from beginning to end, but I really did find this book worked great. I had no issues with the writing, dialogue, plot, setting or pacing. I went and borrowed a ton of other Sarah Dessen books from the library as soon as I finished “Lock and Key.” I read this for the “Key to My Heart” square for Romance Book […]

Cute, but not my fave.

October 31, 2016 by narfna 1 Comment

Everybody here has been losing their minds over this book since it came out, so I knew I would read it eventually because I am a sheep and do what I’m told. BaaaAAAaaaAAAAaaAaAA. ANYWAYS. This book was great. Nothing earth-shattering or revolutionary, just straight up cute romance featuring hate-to-love protagonists. My only real complaint about it is that it wasn’t long enough. I needed at LEAST fifty more pages of them being in that stage right before actually falling in love with each other. This book […]

This book is book crack.

October 31, 2016 by narfna 4 Comments

I fell in love with this book within, like, five minutes of starting it. I had zero problems with it, and I went basically full cartoon heart-eyes* the entire time I was reading it. So, you know, keep that in mind for the rest of this review. Critical thinking skills not getting much use here from me. *Or, because I’m watching Steven Universe for the first time right now, we might also say I went full star-eyes. I’m halfway through season one right now and already […]

Once More for the People In the Back!

September 11, 2016 by Ellepkay 4 Comments

Add me to the chorus of people loving this book!  I reread passages as I went along, I’m already reread Beth Ellen’s copy that she lent me, I intend to buy a copy of my own,  AND I’ll probably pick up an ebook copy one day when it goes on sale.  I suspect this will be a comfort read for years to come. I can’t even properly write about this book.  I had a big smile plastered on my face the entire time I was […]
