In which PattyKates is surprised by The Black Dagger Brotherhood

June 6, 2025 by katie71483 1 Comment

Black Dagger Brotherhood Watch: S1E1 Katie: Patty, shall we revert to our Khatie and Phatty names since JR Ward insists on inserting unnecessary Hs into names? Phatty: Absolutely. Khatie: I thought you’d feel that way. Phatty: Wait, was there an intro? Did I miss or skip the intro? Khatie: on the show or to this conversation about the Black Dagger Brotherhood series created by Passionflix based on the series by JR Ward? That was an enormous mouthful. Phatty: Girl, to the show.

Fu*k the What Now? A Paranormal Romance

April 15, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 20 Comments

Thanks to Katie and Patty’s inspiring review and JR Ward, I miss Kresley Cole. All three of you should go stand in the corner and THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID! Paranormal romance is the portion of the genre with the most primal stories. There are strong tribal elements and the tropes tend towards traditional roles. Men are warriors, god-like iron-thewed lords capable of both shocking violence and macho tenderness. The women are fertility goddesses, sensual and beautiful, but with a core of steel. The mythological […]
