Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you

May 6, 2015 by PattyKates 4 Comments

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-wJNpWgss8&w=420&h=315] Patty: Girl. After the dreck that was the subject of our previous review, I needed something reasonable and normal. Good call on this one. Katie: I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I read it years ago, and recently came across it again when I was looking for something else on my Kindle. I was curious to to find what you thought about it, and to see if it held up over time. So many romances really don’t. Quinn is a small-town art teacher. […]

Never Gonna Give You Up – it’s destiny, after all

May 5, 2015 by PattyKates 5 Comments

Katie: Oh, gentle reader… Phatty has found a treat for us this time. The Sword by Jean Johnson reads like Lord of the Rings romantic fanfic written by someone who hasn’t actually read a well-written romance novel. Think better than E.L. James in that someone is concerned about grammar and spelling, but then they forgot to fix the excessive use of exclamation points. Actually, it reminds me a good bit of Dara Joy now that I think about it. Anyone else read Rejar or Knight […]

“This could be heaven, or this could be hell…” This week’s review is brought to you Don Henley’s righteous white man’s afro. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvSsNSuVtk&w=420&h=315] Katie: This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I believe in ghosts, so it’s kind of ironic (or something, anyway) that this week’s selection is about a “Ghostbuster” named Wolf Hellsinger and a children’s book author/illustrator named Tristan Pryce who sees dead people. After all, my middle school looks like it should be haunted, I grew up […]

I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll…

April 20, 2015 by katie71483 2 Comments

…okay, not really, but THEME, people, THEME! (And make sure to click on the gifs for maximum viewing pleasure…) [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cFIzr85cU&w=420&h=315] Katie: Something interesting happened on the way to the bookstore: Kristen Ashley has evidently written a book I don’t hate. After deciding we were finished (at least for a while) with J.R. Ward, I had the bright idea that it might be fun to do a Kristen Ashley.  Since Kindle is ALWAYS pushing her Rock Chick series, we started with book one which is […]

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t

April 18, 2015 by katie71483 2 Comments

Patty: There is dream fulfillment fantasy and then there is the Book of Butch. A human ex-cop originally from Southie, Butch has been adopted, for lack of a better word, by the Black Dagger Brotherhood. He is like their little human sidekick, allowed to hang out with them and sit at the cool vamp cafeteria table. Since the dude can actually go out in sunlight, he comes in handy when they need him to like, I don’t know… go to Costco or run DMV errands. […]

Whip it! Whip it good!

April 15, 2015 by katie71483 4 Comments

Today’s review is brought to you by the unnecessary letter Z… Patty: OMG that that title is just the right amount of wrong. But seriously, how are we going to banter about this one? There is nothing funny or lighthearted about it. Katie: Phatty brings up a good point. Lover Awakened, the third installment in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, is no laughing matter. Maybe we need to switch gears and do a serious review this time. First though, I need Bella, the female […]
