Cursed Chattans

February 28, 2017 by sarah_jwh Leave a Comment

This review is for the second and third books in the Chattan Curse trilogy, The Scottish Witch and The Devil’s Heart. The first book in this series was a little too woo-woo with the curse bit, setting up the back story, and I think it got in the way of the rest of the story. The second and third don’t seem to have this problem, which makes them much more enjoyable. There are bits about the curse, but they are actively looking to do away […]

Doyle Meets His Match

February 28, 2017 by sarah_jwh Leave a Comment

This review is for the audiobook version of The Forbidden Rose, third book in the Spymasters series by Joanna Bourne, read by Kirsten Potter. You guys were right, the series gets better, and this one is the best yet. This time we go back to the Reign of Terror, and see how Doyle met his Maggie. Marguerite de Fleurignac, a brave noblewoman who spends her evenings evacuating families to spare them from the guillotine, is found alone in her burned out chateau by Guillome de Breton, an […]

This book was SO MUCH FUN. I want to read it again.

February 25, 2017 by narfna 6 Comments

I started this book at lunch yesterday, got sixty pages in, and then read the rest of it in a frenzy as soon as I got home from work. I even forgot to eat dinner. Guys, I NEVER forget to eat dinner. I’m thinking about what I’m going to eat for dinner immediately after lunch is over. Sometimes lunch the day before. I mean, I did eventually remember to eat, but only after I finished the book around 8:30. Only the really good books make […]

These Dead Run

February 22, 2017 by Lane 1 Comment

I did not like this book at first, and I almost gave up on it. This is by the same author that wrote Truthwitch, which I did not like as much as other people seemed to. I kept at this book, mostly because I was sitting by the pool and had not brought another book. Around page 50 things picked up and I ended up staying up way too late that night finishing it. Eleanor Fitt’s brother is missing and the Dead are walking. Apparently […]

Sweet Steam

February 13, 2017 by Lane 1 Comment

Imogene Hale is different. She does not like men. She does not want children. She is brilliant but uneducated. She seeks to broaden her world and hopefully meet some fellow “perverts” by becoming a maid at the vampire nest. There she meets an enigmatic and very sexy inventor. A sweet story about love and coming out in a vampire riddled Victorian England. Romancing The Inventor takes place in the great Parasol Protectorate and Soulless universe but it is a stand alone novella. This was my […]

Young & The Restless: Ratchet Edition

February 12, 2017 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

I don’t even know where to start with this review for The Heart Don’t Lie by Yasheca Lasha. This book made Young & the Restless seem downright innocent with all these love triangles.  I was kindly invited to join the Mocha Girls Read at The Ripped Bodice event with Beverly Jenkins last weekend. The founder of the book club did warn me this month’s book was campy. When the library didn’t have the book, I should I have known something was up. Luckily, I found it on […]
