I felt a sudden, furious rush of sympathy for every Ralian woman who’d ever been the subject of marital bartering; I was ashamed of my prior indifference to the phenomenon, and wondered, with a certain, sick fascination, if being raised in expectation of such a fate made enduring it any easier. ― Foz Meadows, A Strange and Stubborn Endurance I bought this book a couple of months ago as it was on my “MUST ACQUIRE” list. However, I cannot remember how I heard about it […]

10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall

We spend a good few minutes wrangling with nachos. To be honest, they’re a good fit for the very unusual occasion of two people who are blatantly into each other having a meal where they have to pretend they aren’t. They’re not so messy it’s embarrassing, they require just enough cooperation that you’ve got to interact, but not so much it gets sexy. ― Alexis Hall, 10 Things That Never Happened “Worst comes to absolute worst, I’ll just arrange to get whacked on the head […]

After a lifetime of throwing away love and affection, maybe he had a surplus, and Caleb was welcome to it.

Peter Cabot Gets Lost There had been that moment when Peter touched Caleb’s neck before lunch, but Caleb was ninety percent sure that was an accident and that Peter had needed to have about fifteen existential crises about it. Caleb didn’t have the energy to be anyone’s existential crisis. ― Cat Sebastian, Peter Cabot Gets Lost Peter caught himself staring at Caleb even more than usual, as if memorizing the precise upward tilt of his nose or the degree to which his freckles had multiplied […]

Now they can go and be awful together

Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

Jamie Canning always wondered why his best friend from elite summer hockey camp ghosted him. He has an idea though, and it’s the semi-drunken hookup they had during their last week of camp. Still, to Jamie, one bad decision shouldn’t break up a seven-year friendship. Years later at the Frozen Four (cringe) college national championship, Jamie and Wes manage to chat a bit. It is still awkward, but they both push through it with the hopes that they can at least be friendly acquaintances. So, […]

Heated Rivalry Ilya smiled to himself. He actually loved this. He loved being on the road, and disappointing home crowds across North America. He loved the insults, the booing, and, most of all, the sound of a crowd so gutted by his team’s performance that they couldn’t even bother to boo. A winded, humiliated crowd. That was Ilya’s favorite sound. ― Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry “Um, and this is….Ilya. Rozanov. You probably know that.” What were they, exactly? It occurred to Shane that he and […]

You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary

A couple of weeks ago, I was on my way to see Cat Sebastian. (Okay, I was heading to Unbound Book Festival to speak on a panel, but a great deal of my excitement was the ability to spend a little bit of time with Cat, who I had met before, and who I know to be a delightful person. Also, she was one of two people I would know at this thing, and I intended to latch on in the most awkward way possible.) […]
