An amusing contemporary romance with adultery and murder. No, really.

September 7, 2014 by Malin 6 Comments

MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE PLOT OF THIS BOOK IN THE REVIEW: Maddie Faraday is cleaning out her husband’s car and discovers a pair of women’s underpants under the seat that certainly aren’t hers. This isn’t the first time he’s cheated on her, and she decides that enough is enough. Even though she knows her mother and much of their little town will be utterly scandalised if she files for divorce, she just cannot take it any more. That C.L, the cute guy she lost her […]

A New Adult romance with rock stars

September 7, 2014 by Malin 3 Comments

This is the third book in the Stage Dive series, and while the books can be read as stand-alones and independently of each other, the series is best read in order. Start with Lick and if you like it, move on to Play.If you don’t like the first two, then book three is probably not going to be your thing either. James “Jimmy” Ferris is the lead singer of the hugely popular, world famous rock band Stage Dive and he’s had a rough few months. Having hit rock bottom after […]

A contemporary romance with a quarterback and a girl in a beaver suit

August 24, 2014 by Malin 1 Comment

Dean Robillard seemingly has it all. He’s one of the top quarterbacks of the NFL, a profitable modelling contract for men’s underwear, good looks, scores of admirers, good friends – yet something is missing. He’s driving cross country to the ranch he bought on a whim, when he spots an angry young woman in a beaver costume on the side of the road. Curious and entertained, he gives her a ride, and quickly discovers that Blue Bailey has quite the temper on her. She’s also […]

“If your family had a quilt, it would be made out of chimera skin and stuffed with feathers from dead angels.”

August 13, 2014 by Malin 10 Comments

WARNING! This review will contain spoilers for some stuff in the earlier Kate Daniels books because it’s pretty much impossible to write a review for the SEVENTH book in a series without revealing any of what’s gone before. If you’ve not read this series before, this book is not where you want to start (even though the authors kindly included a handy guide to all the major players in the book and a very concise and informative guide to the fictional universe this series is set in). The […]

A contemporary romance with matchmaking

August 11, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

Annabelle has taken over her dead grandmother’s matchmaking service, and is determined that this is the business she will actually manage to make successful. Her mother wants her to become an accountant (her successful older brother could get her a job in his firm), but Annabelle is having none of it. Of course, making a living as a successful matchmaker is difficult when most of her current clients are her grandmother’s old clients, mainly pensioners, who insist on getting the same prices as they did […]

Pretty sure this is the worst book I’ll read all year

August 10, 2014 by Malin 8 Comments

Warning! This review will contain spoilers for the book, because it’s impossible for me to convey all my vitriol without going into plot specifics.  Molly Sommerville (who we first met as a frankly horrid teenager in It Had to Be You) is now all grown up and making a living as a children’s book author, writing illustrated books about Daphne the Bunny, a rabbit who appears to wear designer clothes and going on adventures based on events in Molly’s own life. While Molly inherited a multi-million […]
