It’s a Tide ad.

February 9, 2018 by kdm 9 Comments

A new year, a new Tingler.  (NSFW OBVS) What in seven hells possessed me to start this tradition?  But in fairness, how could I possibly resist THIS: So our story begins with Greg Henderson speeding down a desert highway, cool wind in his hair, warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air. (I assume this applies to desert highways in Arizona as well as California).  As Greg hustles to get to a big car show, he makes sure to let the reader know that […]

Good in little bites

January 8, 2018 by FyreHaar 2 Comments

Charlotte Stein is a must read for me. So I grabbed this when Kindle told me it was available (all hail my amazonian overlords). Stein’s books are not kissing books, they are fucking books. So there is the usual dance of making sure no one is likely to be reading over my shoulder on my commute train because I like to think my porn is at least mostly private. Her short story collections, of which this is one, are really short tone poems. Like kink […]

Mega Review!! Three pieces of crap, one unremarkable episode, and a nugget of purest green!

June 1, 2017 by FyreHaar 5 Comments

Now, I know what you’re thinking “Fyre, you know you HATE billionaire romances!” I know! So over done! But I love me some menage so I was willing to wade into these treacherous waters for a bargain price. I present my real time notes from this collection. This is a long review but, I hope, worth your while. Drilled by Opal Carew Already stilted dialog. I’ll come along. Gah. Show don’t tell. Stop using the word glided for everything. It’s a horrible word, it sounds […]

Oh, why did I choose to read porn again?

January 17, 2017 by postcardsandbooks 6 Comments

Now this is kind of awkward, mostly because I am not sure exactly how one is supposed to go around reviewing porn, but I guess that is what I get for reading porn in the first place, right? So this book is the third in a series, but they all can be read as stand alone novels, as well. It is about this rather uninhibited fashion designer who moves back to SF so her father can finance her boutique after she fails to make it by […]

My embarrassment knows no end

January 15, 2017 by Ellepkay 16 Comments

I…I…I’m so embarrassed.  This book is a horror and encapsulates so much that is wrong with the romance genre.  I devoured it quickly and hated myself the whole time.  Basically, I feel about this book the way the heroine felt about the hero the whole time – this is SO wrong for me, but I just can’t keep away. Chloe Mills is a business school student finishing up her degree with an internship at a marketing company.  Her boss is Bennett Ryan, the titular Beautiful […]

Look at that fluffy unicorn! It’s so fluffy, I could die!

January 6, 2017 by kdm 13 Comments

Warning: DEFINITELY NSFW, and all of the spoilers. In keeping with tradition, I decided to start CBR9 off with a bang…or at least, a Tingle.  As I’ve already covered 2 of author Chuck Tingle’s preferred 4 types of erotica (living objects and dinosaurs), I figured that it was time to grab this one by the horn. I swear this gets harder every year. …Dammit. What I mean is that these books are getting more and more difficult to swallow. OH FFS. Our story opens with “If you […]
