There are SO MANY hockey romances around, you guys!! I read a random sampling of them over the course of the year. Please, allow my sacrifice to guide you, as you choose more wisely than I did. Slap Shot was a fun if forgettable romance. First in the series, but the subsequent novels were, according to my notes, “too expensive to be worth it.” My thumbnails are occasionally rude like that. Juliet heads to a hockey match, and gets hit in the head by a […]

These books were either too short to justify a full review, or there was just smut and no plot. In some cases, both! Mr. Taboo Daddy by Aria R. Blue Look, sometimes I just read a book because it has a stupid title. I also needed some smut after reading some YA romances. Sometimes you want to read about people just fucking for 90 pages, OK! Anyway, this book was about Layla, who at 18 tries to seduce her next-door neighbor. He also happens to […]

Beach Reads Box Set

The Beach Reads Box Set (Vol Two) was offered via the Penny Reid newsletter again this year, I think I picked it up either for free or for $1? It’s no longer available on Amazon (but resides happily on my kindle). Of note: I have still not finished Beach Reads Vol One, since I’ve spent the interval following the back catalogues of the authors around. Mr Mayfair was the first story, and properly sucked me in. Our protagonists are Stella, who was dumped by her […]

Lucky Suit by Lauren Blakely

May 25, 2019 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

Lucky Suit is a popcorn romance novella, so it’s light and cute and enjoyable. Kristen is a scientist who researches renewable energy (I think) and is intellectual and likes stars and math and poker. She has one of those awesome grandmas who wears skinny jeans in her seventies and fixes up old cars. And Grandma is trying to set up someone with Kristen, which has not turned out all that well so far. So Kristen turns to online dating, which Grandma is not about. […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
