Here are some 2023 reviews that I didn’t manage to get out before the deadline: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver Sloane is just your average, everyday woman who just so happens to enjoy murdering serial killers and posing them in grisly tableaus as a hobby. Who can’t relate? One day, she is accidentally trapped by a killer she has just murdered and is worried she is going to starve to death when she is saved by Rowan, an everyday man who also just so […]

Um. Okay. Wow.

Pucking Around by Emily Rath

January 6, 2024 by jessisreading 8 Comments

This book has been big in the zeitgeist, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever pick it up because it is so…freaking…long. But I was looking for a new audiobook on Libby and there it was, available for my listening pleasure, and I gotta tell you: 25 hours never went by so fast. (Okay, that’s in part because I listened to it first in 1.75 and then in 2.0 when that was still too slow, so it was more like 13 or 14 hours.) The […]

Whiskey & Sin by Emily Rath

Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky

Beautiful Sinner by Sara Cate

November 6, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

I’ve read a bunch of books since May that were more smut than plot, so here’s a series of mini-reviews in the order I read them: 11 Hours by Octavia Jensen Briella is a paralegal in a fancy-schmancy law firm. She has an absolute hate/hate relationship with Harrison, one of the firm’s attorneys. One day, while everyone else is at the holiday party, they are working late and get stuck in an elevator together. For ELEVEN HOURS. Which is cuckoo-bananas. What kind of building doesn’t […]

CBR 15: North America – Sexy Hockey Smut

Pucking Wild by Emily Rath

August 20, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

ARC Review: I am an absolute ho for Miss Emily Rath’s writing, so when she announced the sign up for ARC readers, I may have shoved my husband away so I could fill out the form ASAP. She manages to take what would be your average rom-com and turn it into something truly special. Her books are long, but in the best way, because you never want to leave her characters. This is the second book in the Jacksonville Rays series about a brand-new Hockey […]

Emily Rath writes some top-tier smut! CBR Bingo: Europe

Alcott Hall by Emily Rath

July 7, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

Last year I read the first two books in her Regency-Era Second Sons trilogy, which focused on the sexy adventures of Miss Rosalie Harrow and her three men. This book shifted main characters, and we are now caught up in the troubles of Lady Madeline Blair. She has been out in society for three years and has still been unable to ensnare a husband. She has all but given up when she finds out that a dear Aunt left her entire estate to Madeline, with […]
