“Neither Skewton nor the Thwaites offer the charm of your company, and I’m saying that to a man who spent the night disembowelling cats

First a quick housekeeping note, the publisher of this book went under and the author is working on getting the rights back so she can republish them. Amazon has a few copies left though. I took the gamble of buying the series because I was afraid they would run out and I am glad I did because the first book was fantastic! I read a review for this book here, so thank you cannonball community for another great recommendation. This is a m/m romance and […]

The Hearts Wants What It Wants

March 11, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

I picked this one up on a whim, thinking the cover was pretty and the story sounded intriguing.  At the time, I didn’t realize it was categorized as New Adult – a genre I have steered away from, or I might have put it back on the shelf.  That said, I found myself sucked into the story fairly rapidly, and I enjoyed the dialogue and the change of pace from historical romance.  This is actually the third book in The Starcrossed Series, but it did […]

Tis the Season to be Bashing! Tra La La La La!

March 10, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Happy sigh. This is one of my favorite re-reads. I tend to read it around the Christmas season. But seriously. I needed a happy (as it can be) In Death book. It gets to be a bit of a grind to just read about rape and murder in every other book. Memory in Death (In Death #22) is a really good Eve Dallas and Roarke book. We get to spend about equal time with Roarke in this one. And I just sadly realized it’s been […]

One of my Favorite In Death Books

March 10, 2017 by Classic 4 Comments

Honestly there is not a lot to say here except that this is one of my favorite “In Death” books. There are a couple of scenes that I found too outrageous to be believed (the ending with Nixie), anyone allowing Dallas to take a kid to live with her and Roarke instead of having her in foster care, etc. But I found that there were some wonderful callbacks to earlier cases that Eve had worked. “Survivor in Death” opens up on a loving and happy […]

If you like descriptions of cleaning and sorting wires…this one’s for you! Including some [NSFW] gif’ing

“The world divides between those who can watch television knowing there’s an isolated jigsaw fragment lying on the floor and those who can’t.” There is a pile of stuff at the bottom of the stairs (which I mean, how can you NOT pick up a book with such an awesome name!? Turns out picking it up was easy. Reading it was the hard part. But I digress). This pile at the bottom of the stairs is not a happy pile, it is a pile left […]

Thanks to the CBR romance readers hive mind for this one.

March 8, 2017 by narfna 13 Comments

This is another one of those books I probably wouldn’t have touched were it not for the online book reviewing community. Specifically, all of you fellow romance-reading reviewers here at CBR, who read and reviewed Kulti to pieces starting late last year. I’d never even heard of Mariana Zapata until y’all started raving over this book. I’ve learned to trust our collective hive mind over the years, so I picked this up with one of my Audible credits earlier this year, and decided to save […]
