#CBR10Bingo: Cannonballer Recommends (this was a CBR Book Exchange gift from Yesknopemaybe (my paperback copy), it has also been favourably reviewed by MathildeHoeg, ingres77, dAvid, badkittyuno, belphebe, emmalita, narfna and faintingviolet, among others) Rosemary Harper is trying to escape her old life and doesn’t want anyone tracking her down. She pays a lot of money to get a new identity and gets a job on a run-down and patched up spaceship, where no one from her old life would ever think to look for her. Aboard […]
A wonderful twist that makes a better story
So, I picked up this book based on narfna’s review. I was surprised when I went to the library to pick it up how long it was. I was thinking more of a picture book length, for some reason, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much of this there was to enjoy! The first thing I noticed was that there are pattern pieces on all of the chapter titles. I don’t actually know how to sew garments, but I’m wondering if there is […]

Double cannonball with a kissing book.
Cat Sebastian is now six for six. Not a stinker among her published books so far (though to be fair, I haven’t *loved* all of them (Unmasked by the Marquess was fun, but didn’t hit me in my swooners). A Gentleman Never Keeps Score, though saddled with a truly execrable cover*, features more of what I love about her books: two fully realized leads who have good chemistry, and who are kept apart not by asinine plot machinations and outside forces, but by character flaws […]
