Once More With Feeling

Dream Keeper by Kristen Ashley

January 18, 2022 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

It will come as no surprise to any of my regular readers that my first review of Cannonball Read 14 is a selection written by Kristen Ashley. What you might be surprised to learn is that she has switched things up a bit with Dream Keeper. Which is not to say that there aren’t A LOT of references to characters from other books, or that obvious leads to future books weren’t being set in motion, because of course there was so much of all of […]

Why, oh why, hast thou forsaken me, Pattykins?

Dream Spinner by Kristen Ashley

May 27, 2021 by katie71483 2 Comments

Patty has forsaken me. She started me down this damnable path, but seems to have been able to break up with the Ashley. I… have not been so fortunate. Dream Spinner dropped on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. I’d honestly forgotten that I’d even pre-ordered it, but there it was when I opened the kindle app on my phone. Of course I stopped everything to read it. (I hate you so much right now, Pattykins.) Hattie is one of the lead dancers in a burlesque review […]

Completely NSFW. And, seriously. WTF.

The Greatest Risk by Kristen Ashley

April 19, 2020 by katie71483 4 Comments

The Greatest Risk by Kristen Ashley Patty: [Maniacal laughter] Well. This is how PattyKates breaks a months-long reviewing dry spell. Buckle up, people, or risk getting bound and spanked. Katie: The Greatest Risk is hands down the filthiest, most absurd Kristen Ashley book I’ve ever read. HANDS DOWN. It raises so many questions in the mind of this very confused reader.  Patty: Boys and girls, I want to tell you a story about two people who meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, […]

Remember when we used to be friends?

August 24, 2018 by PattyKates 7 Comments

PATTY: Say it. Admit it. SAY IT. KATIE:  FINE. Fine. Kristen Ashley’s FOR YOU is actually fine, maybe even edging into decent/good. It’s the first book in her ‘Burg series, and if someone sent you this book to read with nothing identifying who wrote it, you’d probably think it’s an okay romantic suspense novel even if it is a little wordy. PATTY: February Owens and Alec Colton were once upon a time a dream couple. The *something* happened and February broke up with Colton and […]

She’s Back!

August 5, 2018 by PattyKates Leave a Comment

KATIE: Y’all. Kristen Ashley has finally managed to surprise me. In WILD LIKE THE WIND, she has created a book that begins with a bit of history relevant to the Chaos Motorcycle Club, LOTS of sex, and an attempt at redeeming a previously unlikable character so he can be the hero of this story. PATTY: YAY! SHE’S BACK! We have missed her so. KATIE: You could say this one starts off with a BANG. NOT THAT KIND OF A BANG. Duh. This kind. And many […]

Ghostwriter, the pattern is full

January 14, 2018 by katie71483 5 Comments

Katie: Gentle Reader, for my fourth Cannonball (third as half of PattyKates), it is somehow fitting that our first review is a new release by none other than Kristen Ashley. It seems like an obvious choice in retrospect, but we were actually stumped about what it would be until we realized that she had recently released The Hookup, the start of her new Moonlight and Motor Oil series.   Summary: Eliza is a good girl and new to Matlock, Ky. As with many of KA’s […]
