Run Posy Run

Well adjusted women with happy childhoods don’t f—- mobsters.

Run Posy Run by Cate C Wells

December 26, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I have come to accept that there is no trope I won’t read if written by the right author. I don’t love dark romance and I don’t love mafia romance, but I can’t say I won’t read dark mafia romances, because I have read Run Posy Run multiple times. I’ll read mafia romances by Cate C. Wells and Katrina Jackson, and a few other writers. I first read this last year, but couldn’t figure out how to talk about it without sounding like I’m giving […]

Don’t go breaking my heart…

King by SJ TILLY

The protagonists meet with a pretty original, if highly unlikely meet cute. Savannah is on a third […]

What. Just. Happened.

Run Posy Run by Cate C. Wells

October 20, 2022 by katie71483 7 Comments

Run Posy Run by Cate C. Wells is perhaps the most unusual romance I’ve ever read. It is a dark Mafia romance available on Kindle Unlimited. I was having a video chat with Emmalita and of course our conversation turned to books for a while. She was recommending this author specifically for her writing, and then mentioned this book with a description that had me intrigued, puzzled and repulsed all at once. In addition, she said it was basically living rent free in her head, […]
