Pucking Around by Emily Rath

Kindle Unlimited REALLY wanted to make sure I didn’t miss Emily Rath’s Pucking Around. I’m so glad it was insistent. Pucking Around is a super spicy why choose hockey romance that is probably 150 pages too long but you don’t care because you like the characters that much and the spice is finger scorching. Rachel Price is the daughter of rock and roll royalty and has worked hard to leave all that entails in her rearview. She is a medical resident that specializes in a holistic approach to physical […]

A Dowry of Blood by ST Gibson

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books you already own #1 In a lyrical letter to the lover she killed, Constanta recounts their history together, as well as that of his other ‘brides,’ and what drove them to do as they did. I had high hopes for this book. I don’t usually love vampire romances, because I feel like they often underplay the dark and twisted nature of the vampires of myth – so the fact that this book promised to go back to those terrifying roots drew […]

I enjoyed this book so much that I am upset on behalf of the author that it isn’t more widely read. #CBRBINGO – Rec’d

Three Part Harmony (Plot Twist, #2) by Holley Trent

I never go in expecting too much from romances written by new to me authors, because I never know what I’m going to get, but I should have trusted Emmalita’s taste, because this book was really lovely. (Though it does bother me that the dude on the cover does not resemble either male love interest.) Our three characters are: Raleigh, a book publicist with trust issues; Everley, the daughter of Raleigh’s boss, who everyone sees as having it easy just because she’s the boss’s daughter; […]

Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert

CBR 14 Bingo: Rec’d Katee Robert is probably not an author I would have gotten into without all the hearty recommendations of her that I have read! Helen Kasios wants to be more than a pawn, and competing in the trials to become Ares seems to be her way out. But her family has other plans for her, and her brother offers her hand in marriage to whoever wins. Of course, I love Katee Robert’s books, and I really enjoy her more plot-heavy Olympus books. […]

Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert

by 5 Comments

I was asked why I wanted to read Katee Robert’s Wicked Beauty and I said it was because I wanted to see a Helen who wasn’t a pawn, and definitely a Helen who got better partners than Paris and Menelaus. Wicked Beauty delivers that with a Helen who is determined to dictate her own future, and finds herself in a competitors to lovers relationship with Achilles and Patroclus. Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series is less a retelling of Greek mythology and more in the style […]
