Sometimes three stars are because a book was overall average, and sometimes it’s because of an actual mean — a combination of one-star and five-star moments that leave me confused and with whiplash. Here’s your Heroine: Not that she literally fights crime, but she’s described by her best friend like this: “… big boobs, small waist, big butt, long legs, amazon woman thing you have going on. Pair that package with your curly auburn hair and big hazel-green eyes.” So, naturally, she’s hideous. JOKES! She’s […]
The Hollywood heiress and the fisherman
Like their friends Mia and Ansel, Harlow Vega and Finn Roberts had a wild, unforgettable night together in Vegas, where they drunkenly got married. Unlike their friends, Harlow and Finn got an annulment the very next morning. While the sex was amazing, neither of them are entirely sure they even like each other. With the exception of a brief impulsive weekend, when Harlow turned up at Finn’s house in Canada wearing nothing but a trench coat, where they spent their whole time together hooking up, […]
What happens in Vegas results in a summer in Paris
Mia Holland goes to Las Vegas with her two best friends to celebrate her college graduation. Mia’s dream was once to become a dancer, but a nasty car accident put a stop to that dream and now she’s on track to fulfil her father’s dream for her, which is fast track through a prestigious business school in Boston. He’s even offered to help pay for her apartment there. This Vegas weekend is Mia’s last chance to cut loose, and she sure does. Mia is shy, […]
Starting a New Adult series with yet more hockey…
So I am, what Mr. Beth Ellen likes to call, full of hormones and baby. This ends up translating to, for the past month or so, an inability to finish any book remotely upsetting. Characters aren’t nice? Set it aside. People don’t fall in love? Set it aside. So in general, for the next many months of Beast Residency, it looks like I’ll be reviewing a lot of romances. After finishing up the Ivy Years series I started asking the Zon for recommendations like Sarina […]
All that’s missing is Otis Day & the Knights
So, I got this message from Mrs. Julien, she who calls herself Prolixity, “Miss Katie, would you like to borrow a book?” My curiosity was immediately piqued. Obviously. My reply was instant, “Of course!” That is how I came to read The Deal by Elle Kennedy. It also came with this ringing endorsement, “[emmalita] and I enjoyed it very much.” How could I NOT read it at this point? Disclaimer: I didn’t truly understand what this New Adult business was all about. It just seemed […]
A “New Adult” romance and my first Milan!
Ladies (and the gents who peruse our romance reviews, rock on) I have finally read a Milan. And it was okay. I will also state before anyone gets worried, I have already downloaded The Duchess War and shall be starting that shortly, but for now I read one. Trade Me falls into a new genre category it appears, called New Adult. It is more saucy than say a Young Adult love story, but nowhere near as saucy as I require from my grown up romances. […]
