Gentle reader, We’re baaaack… At the request of reader/commentator Alexis, we’re going to talk about Lover Eternal, the second book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. Note: For some reason my gifs are not working. ARGH. For maximum viewing pleasure, click on them and they should open in a new tab. Some ARE just memes, though. Patty: Rhage (get it? Rage but with an “H”, so like, RHAGE. It’s Vampire for rage. SO MANY LEVELS), or Hollywood – a nickname his vampire buddies […]
Stranded in this spooky town with Katie and Patty
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb6xxeE_2ik&w=560&h=315] Gentle reader, have you seen the pigs flying? That’s right, The End is upon us. To celebrate that dogs and cats are living together in mass hysteria, Patty (a.k.a. *Name Redacted*) and I have decided to review a book together. We’ve chosen J.R. Ward’s Dark Lover since it’s a guilty pleasure we both adore. Patty: And it’s totally not because we’re codependent or have some kind of blood bond or anything like that. Swear. Katie: First off, let me just […]
A little bit louder now…
When I was a kid, I was a voracious reader – even more than I am now. My mom was so proud – she’d take me to the parish library, I’d pick up a stack of 20-25 books and fly through them in a day or three at most. Hoping to encourage my younger brother to have a similar passion for books, my mother would often buy books for Brother and put them on the bookshelf in his room. I don’t think he ever actually read any […]
This pill isn’t jagged, and it certainly doesn’t need a spoonful of sugar to go down
Rennie, the main character in Stacey Kade’s Bitter Pill, has come to a crossroad in her life. After her husband leaves her, she decides to move back to the small town where she grew up, and in fact resides in the apartment above her mother’s garage. Rennie is smart, funny, and still crushing on Jake Bristol, the boy she loved in high school, the married local sheriff. She really wants to know how she wound up back where she started. To supplement her alimony payments, […]
Fired UP! or It’s getting hot in here…
Hot Head by Damon Suede
NOTE: I RETRACT ALL GUSHING THAT TAKES PLACE IN THIS REVIEW. THE AUTHOR HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO BE A GASLIGHTING DICK DURING THE RWA MELTDOWN OF DECEMBER 2019. I adore the fact that Damon Suede’s Hot Head is featured on goodread.com’s list of Top 100 romances, even though it’s a m/m romance. It’s sweet, sentimental, raunchy, probably truer to life in some ways than I’d wish, and you’ll definitely want a fire extinguisher handy while reading because it’s hot-Hot-HOT. Griff and Dante are life-long friends (in fact […]
Life is a highway
Amy Lane’s Sidecar is a lovely trifle of a book that was sent to me by *Name Redacted* (oops! I mean Patty!) a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve only just gotten around to giving it a try because I was preoccupied with reading about Thea Harrison’s Wyr folk and Jordan Castillo Price’s Psycop world. It made for a nice change of pace from the (well-written and enjoyable) alternate worlds of those authors. There was no magic, or ghosts, or psychic talents, or anything of that sort. Instead, […]
