Featuring an elevator of love

February 19, 2018 by yesknopemaybe 2 Comments

3.5 stars. I don’t end up reading a lot of romance because although I love the genre, a large percentage of my reading is audio nowadays and I just can’t bring myself to listen to sex scenes in public, even if no one knows that’s what I’m doing. Whenever I get a chance to read one though, I always have so much fun and wonder why I don’t make time more often. The Wedding Date did not disappoint! Alexa and Drew have an adorable meet […]

Yay, I liked this so much!

February 12, 2018 by narfna 3 Comments

I was not pleased that the first book in this series didn’t really click with me. So many people enjoyed it! I wanted in on the party. But something about the romance between the MCs didn’t gel with me, so I rated it three and a half stars and moved on with my life, hoping that book two would be more my style. And it was! Oh, yay. Something that I did really appreciate in the first book and that holds true for this one […]

Riches and Wonders

February 11, 2018 by Ellesfena Leave a Comment

What a strange little book. The Beautiful Ones is the story of three people: Antonina “Nina” Beaulieu, her cousin Valerie, and the telekinetic performer Hector Auvray. Hector and Valerie have a tragic romantic history, and when their paths cross again during Nina’s first Grand Season in the big city, she is drawn, unwittingly, into a romantic triangle with the two of them. At its heart, The Beautiful Ones is pretty standard romance. It has some noteworthy trappings, however. It appears to take place during La Belle Epoque, […]

No more nipples, but we DO get a purple tornado and lightning…

The third instalment of the Hidden Legacy series, Wildfire sees our male cover model finally pop a t-shirt on while on the inside Nevada investigates the kidnapping of a House Prime and enjoys her newly romantic relationship with Rogan. Unfortunately for her immediate happiness, however, it’s not only looking like the kidnapping is part of the conspiracy that’s been threatening to overthrow society throughout these books, but the kidnappee’s wife is Rogan’s ex, Rynda, who’s not above trying to win him back to her side. […]

Further adventures in terrible book covers

February 3, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

The second book in the Hidden Legacy series, despite being warned by you all I didn’t believe it was possible that the cover for White Hot could be any worse than that for Burn For Me. I was so wrong, and you were soooo right. Why is he sniffing her forehead? Are those abs painted on? Are the publishers actively trying to put people off from buying this? The mind boggles… In the aftermath of Burn For Me’s adventures, when not practicing her magic Nevada […]

Beauty & The Beast & Cowboys

February 1, 2018 by Professor FluffyKitten Leave a Comment

After some extensive research of the free books section in iBook I managed to separate the books into the following categories: 50 shades wannabes Surprisingly good Regency romance An occasional classic (usually Pride & Prejudice) Contemporary romance involving a kindergarten teacher and a billionaire Contemporary romance involving a kindergarten teacher and a sexy service man Contemporary cowboy stories Historical cowboy stories (usually involving a mail order bride) The Accidental Mail Order Bride, unsurprisingly, belongs to the last category and was mostly chosen because it had […]
