Opus 63 in Three Parts: Hop, Joker and High. Trixie: We are banging these out (no pun intended) in a single review and finishing this crazy ride that has been the Chaos Series. Kitty may or may not ever speak to me again. I may or may not ever speak to myself again. C’mon, Baby, Light My Fire Kitty: Fire Inside, like Kristen Ashley’s other novels, features a lack of interpersonal communication on every level, a deep-seated conviction that all problems […]
Grunt. Posture. Hump. Repeat.
Kitty: Remember how we reviewed Kristen Ashley’s Motorcycle Man a short time ago? It’s because Trixie has taken it in her head that we need to compare self-published KA to published, polished and edited KA. Personally I think it’s because she derives pleasure from the mental and emotional distress it causes me. Trixie: Rule, review: Incomplete sentences. Communicate like men in books. No articles. Few verbs. Kitty: Own the Wind, the first in the Chaos series, is pretty much the epitome of KA terribleness. Shy, […]
Bad Motor Scooter.
Kitty: Oh, dear friends… Patty talked me into reading Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley. Obviously she is a sadist and I am a damn fool. Five pages into the first chapter and Tyra, the heroine, is slut-shaming herself, “I’m embracing my inner slut.”, referring to a one night stand with a guy who turns out to be her new boss. Trixie: We need motorcycle gang old-lady nicknames for this one, Kitty. And I didn’t so much talk you into reading it as demanded that you […]
I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll…
…okay, not really, but THEME, people, THEME! (And make sure to click on the gifs for maximum viewing pleasure…) [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cFIzr85cU&w=420&h=315] Katie: Something interesting happened on the way to the bookstore: Kristen Ashley has evidently written a book I don’t hate. After deciding we were finished (at least for a while) with J.R. Ward, I had the bright idea that it might be fun to do a Kristen Ashley. Since Kindle is ALWAYS pushing her Rock Chick series, we started with book one which is […]
This is why we can’t have nice things.
CURSE YOU, *Name Redacted.* CURSE YOU. This is all you’re frakkin’ fault. So, Friday I get this message: “I’m loaning you DEACON by Kristen Ashley. It’s actually okay. You may even enjoy it.” See? *Name Redacted* gets me. She knows that this train wreck of a writer is like crack to me and that I can’t stay away even though I pretty much hate her books. STOP PUSHING MY BUTTONS, DAMN IT. DEACON is actually the fourth book in the Unfinished Heroes series. It’s the […]
Sometimes first impressions are the correct ones, or why curiosity killed katie71483
As some of you may remember, I wrote a pretty scathing review of some of Kristen Ashley’s earlier books in the Colorado Mountains series a couple of weeks ago. It would appear that I am a glutton for punishment, because I felt the need to read another and MAKE SURE they’re really that bad, because that many smart, well-read women couldn’t all like it if it was really that bad. I mean, literally thousands of readers on Amazon have reviewed and almost universally praised these […]
