I’m often frustrated by superficial reviews that don’t articulate the reasoning for an opinion about a book.
Wolfsong by TJ Klune is $2.99 and a KDD! This had a rerelease with a new cover and is book one in Green Creek series. I did not like this one, but I know I’m in the minority. I felt it was too long and while most of the romance happens when the main characters are adults, the scenes where they’re 10 and 16 respectively did not work for me.
Dolly All the Time is set in the fictional seaside town of Whitfield, Rhode Island. The Whitfield family are the big, rich family in town and yes, the town is named after one of them. Stewart is the eldest son and desperate to prove to his family that he can be the new CEO and have a successful romantic life. As it is a family business, this is an important consideration for the board (made … Continue reading Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan
This request is from HeatherS: It’s been a while since I’ve seen this topic covered and a lot of books have been published in the meanwhile, so: I’d like a rec league post for romances with at least one bisexual MC, preferably not in a college/university setting (because I’m over 40 and college students are mostly babies at this point). Required: if a bi awakening romance, the MC’s bi awakening does NOT involve cheating (especially … Continue reading The Rec League: Bisexual Romance
Crazy Spooky Love by Josie Silver is $1.99! This is book one in the Melody Bittersweet series. The setup gives me Stephanie Plum vibes, but with ghosts.
Happy Wednesday! My brother and sister-in-law are visiting for the next few days and I’m so excited to see them. (Even if my brother, who is in his 30s, is very much learning into little brother energy right now.) I think anyone who is an older sister with a younger brother gets what I mean. I also had a lovely little girls staycation over the weekend. That being said, I’m already dreading my inbox and … Continue reading Links: Piper J. Drake, Art, & More

The Duke at Hazard by KJ Charles is 99c! This is the second book in the The Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune series. It came out last year. Shana was excited for this one because of the road trip element.
This HaBO is from Gillian, who wants to find this romance: There is a book that I read a while ago and cannot remember the name of but really want to reread it. Here’s everything I remember: There is a set of female twins in college. One of the twins goes on a date or two with this guy (think he’s an athlete) but doesn’t want to keep dating him so she has her twin … Continue reading HaBO: Twins in College
RECOMMENDED: Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett is $2.99! Fingers crossed this deal sticks around. Lara wrote a Lightning Review of this one and gave it an A:
This book is CHARMING. C.H.A.R.M.I.N.G. I devoured it in just over a day and what a beautiful day it was.
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Maeve: Her bra sheath slipped. The angle’s also wrong to go through her heart. And no arms? The longer I look at this, the more wrong it feels. Sarah: I know what I’m looking at but everything looks slightly…off. Amanda: An accurate depiction of my acid reflux. Sarah: Gosh, mine, too. Yikes. From Jen: Not sure what’s wrong with this cover but it’s just wrong. Sarah: That is some … Continue reading Cover Snark: When Your Hair Doubles as a Fidget Toy
