We have been working our way through two of Kristen Ashley’s longer series, the Burg books and the Rock Chick books. Some are better than others – we have a theory about ghost writers – but rather than write a bunch of reviews that are essentially the same, we’ve compiled a Letterman-esque top 10 list. Top Ten Things You Need to Know When Reading Anything by KA 1. Men must close the distance between them and their women at all times via female bodily relocation. […]
Listening to Autism
My husband and I have two sons who have both been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Our first diagnosis came about 12 years ago this summer, and I can tell you that like all the other autism parents I know, we immersed ourselves in information once we got the diagnosis. It can be overwhelming — there are books on diets, behavior modification, medications, personal stories, not to mention the vast realms of info (much of it crap) on the Internet. I cannot claim to have […]
That not-so-fresh scent is less of a feeling
Intro: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68v4g6ZjNlw&w=420&h=315] Patty: Alright. The Air That He Breathes is the story of a man who lost his wife and young son in a car accident and a woman who is now a single mom because she lost her husband in a car accident. They meet when she moves back to her hometown, accidentally runs over his dog (who didn’t die, relax) and discovers he is her new next door neighbor. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS? NO, GUESS! Katie: First impression: it’s a frakking Nicholas […]
So sweet it’s sour
Patty: We picked this one up because it was dirt cheap but still had nothing but 4 and 5 star reviews on Amazon. Glowing reviews. Long-winded reviews. Reviews peppered with lots of exclamation points. You could hear the collective sigh from readers/reviewers who waxed poetic using words like “emotion” and “amazing” and “wonderful”. Patty: Summer is an ambitious twenty-something year old who works at one of those glossy Cosmo-like magazines. She’s worked her way up to an editing position and though she’s comfortable with the world of […]
Shaken and Stirred
Pent Up by Damon Suede
NOTE: WE RETRACT ALL GUSHING THAT TAKES PLACE IN THIS REVIEW. THE AUTHOR HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO BE A GASLIGHTING DICK DURING THE RWA MELTDOWN OF DECEMBER 2019. Patty: Remember when we read that witch-hunter/slayer/chakra book and we bitched about how it was basically a mish-mash of every PNR trope ever troped? You would think this would be like that but no. I mean, there is m/m romance, GFY, alcoholism, a social class divide, SEC regulations, paranoia, kidnapping, family dysfunction and yet somehow, it all […]
The Fornicating Fast and the Furious
Katie: Sebring, contrary to what the title might lead you to believe, is not about a car. Instead, it’s about two lost souls who find redemption in each other. Patty: Two souls who have lots and lots of sex. But never in a car. And the redemption thing Katie said. Katie: I can’t believe I practically waxed poetic about a KA novel. A breakdown of some sort may be in progress. Patty, why do those men in white coats have nets? Patty: I’m just glad […]
