1 Author, 2 Novellas, Mostly Good Experience

September 15, 2016 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

Mrs. Julien’s review of Waiting for Clark reminded me that I had picked up two Annabeth Albert books following ellepkay’s reviews, and should probably read them in between library books. While owning my romance reading habits, I have also been attempting to be more LGBTQ inclusive in my reading overall (with varying degrees of success), and felt overdue in that department. Let’s start with the good. Waiting for Clark is based on a prompt and image given to Albert as part of the Goodreads M/M […]

A future classic, whenever people stop disparaging romantic plots and especially m/m ones

June 14, 2016 by alwaysanswerb 2 Comments

The Captive Prince trilogy has been gaining steam on the internet for many years now — at first quietly, as a free serial posted by the author on her LiveJournal, and then less so as Penguin picked it up for official publication in paperback form. And, really, it’s very good. A capable balance of slow-burn romance — which I am ALWAYS here for — with classic historical fantasy elements and political intrigue, the series is mature, clever, complex, and, above all, utterly engrossing. Across nearly […]

A shaky start to a great series.

April 12, 2016 by narfna 4 Comments

ETA 4/21/16: Due to a boo-boo that I made (marking two reviews in a row as #46), this review is my actual Cannonball, even though I thought it was this one. Whoops! I have sooooooo many thoughts about this series. I don’t even know where to start! If you haven’t heard of it yet, this series is making the rounds as The Next Big Thing (I think, with good reason). It was originally published on LiveJournal user freece’s blog as an ongoing serial and gained a […]

Contemporary Christmas Romance with Two Nice Men

August 11, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 3 Comments

Admission: I really like Christmas novellas. Not all of them, not all the time, but once in a while they make a nice break. After all, one of my top five romances of all time is a Christmas novella. Jay Northcote can’t possibly have known of my penchant and, admittedly, I did not know this was a Christmas novella when I bought it, but it served its own Christmas in July purposes well enough. It’s not really a recommend or a keeper, but I am […]
