Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

This series is good, feminist fun, but this book was a little overstuffed.

Undercover Bromance (Bromance Book Club, #2) by Lyssa Kay Adams

by Leave a Comment

This series is fun, but I think this one may have bitten off a little too much. I wasn’t completely sold on the chemistry between the leads, even though the rest of the book was pretty good. Also, the Russian didn’t get a name until the end of the book, but at least he has a name now. It was feeling weird to make a whole person a joke. I’m not sure she can ever make him a POV character with all the jokes about […]

These two people just genuinely like each other so much.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters, #1) by Talia Hibbert

by 2 Comments

This was just such a good, happy reading experience, and the audio made it better. I am once again about a month behind my reviews, because it took me so long to write my review for Docile, so this one will be short and sweet. I basically adored this book. I’ve never read Talia Hibbert before, but you can bet I’ll be checking out her entire backlist now. This book was swoony and romantic, smart and compassionate, and funny! It’s so rare to find a […]

Great writing makes this live up to the hype

A Delicate Deception (Regency Imposters, #3) by Cat Sebastian

by Leave a Comment

This was a bit rough, but charming in its roughness. It’s my favorite of Sebastian’s Regency Imposters books. At the beginning of the book especially when the lovers are in the “enemies” phase of “enemies to lovers,” the banter and the narration both are very biting and witty, but in a gentle, non-threatening way for my emotions. Amelia is our heroine, and I will admit it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize she was in both prior books in the series. She has […]

The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer

by Leave a Comment

In fraught times such as these, I am so glad I still have one or two Georgette Heyers that I have not yet gotten around to reading.  So even though this might not be prime Heyer, it was a delight nevertheless.   The ultimate Corinthian, Sir Richard Wyndham (he of the Windham Fall fame) is being pushed into marriage with a suitable bride, a veritable (as she is in no ways loath to admit) iceberg.  Even her own brother, Cedric, advises Windham to make a […]

Misadventures of a Curvy Girl by Sierra Simone

by Leave a Comment

Acknowledging that I’m probably dreadfully late to the party, I’d like to recommend Misadventures of a Curvy Girl by Sierra Simone. I found the heroine, Ireland, to be relatable and realistic in so many ways. She’s a legitimate plus size gal who is working on being body positive, but is really having to struggle with those stupid voices in your head, the ones that tell you you aren’t worthy because of your weight or wonder why anyone would possibly be interested in you. I’ve had […]
