Is gaslighting less expensive than electric lighting?

January 16, 2017 by J 5 Comments

Chloe is bad at dating. No, really. You think, “well, a lot of folks are bad at dating”. I assure you, Chloe is fantastically bad. She tells knock knock jokes when she gets nervous, which you want to excuse because she’s a second grade teacher, but mostly, you want to pat her on the back and suggest that she try movie dates rather than coffee dates. Boyd, in the way of romance heroes, is amused by how awkward Chloe is because Chloe is also quite hot (yet unaware of this, […]

This one time, at office camp…

January 13, 2017 by FyreHaar 5 Comments

(NB – This is the earliest I think I’ve ever gotten my first review up, Quarter Cannonball, here I come!) Like many of you, I read The Hating Game and I loved it! So fun, so sweet (so didn’t write a review)! If you too loved The Hating Game, get on this book. Lucy and Evans work together at Burke Consulting Group. I love that the people in this series of books do real work. They are a consulting firm that helps municipalities do stuff […]

That Thing Between Eli and Gwen cover

Oh, look, another douchebag hero. Quelle surprise!

January 7, 2017 by J 3 Comments

Guinevere Poe is living her best life. She’s a successful artist whose pieces sell for millions and engaged to a very hot, very rich man. Eli Davenport is also living his best life. He’s a top neurosurgeon and about to marry a very hot, very rich doctor. It all starts going wrong when Guinevere’s fiance runs off with Eli’s bride-to-be. During the ceremony. Awkward.

Completion of My Quick Romance Reads!

January 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

Yes! I am finally done with my reads of some of Amanda Quick’s earlier works (from the 90s). I think I hit peak over this two days ago though. I can’t wait to move onto some other authors. This is the same set-up of most of Quick’s earlier books. Quirky Original in her mid-20s who is in danger of “staying on the shelf” and an older male who knows he should not be attracted to said female, but is, and then denies he is falling […]

Rendezvous

January 5, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars for this review.  Another older Amanda Quick book. I read this for romance bingo and honestly I am glad that I finished up the other Quick book. Her writing style after a while starts to grate. I realize that all of the females in her books are “quirky” and the heroes are long suffering and either want the heroine to fall in love with them or are obtuse to […]

Scandal, No Not The TV Show

January 4, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

I am laughing so hard as I think of this book and what to write. Look I used to devour Amanda Quick’s older books with the one word description and usually a random object on the cover. There were some that were really good. And there were some that may be wonder about the intelligence of the hero/heroine involved. “Scandal” is definitely the latter. You have a sort of reformed rake trope taking place here (though the hero is not really a rake, he’s just […]
