This month, we have a very special sponsored Covers and Cocktails! I had so much fun working on these drinks and since there are seven books (seven!) to discuss, I’m just going to get into without much preamble. My inspiration has come from the The Kristen Proby Crossover Collection! Proby has teamed up with 1001 Dark Nights and six other romance authors to create a collection of romances that cross over with her Big Sky … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: The Kristen Proby Mini-Cocktail Collection →
Savor You by Kristen Proby is a romance featuring female friendships, food pr0n and a plus sized heroine. I enjoyed everything except the hero, who I felt infantilized the heroine on occasion. Savor You is the fifth book in the Fusion series, set around restaurant called Seduction that a group of female friends opened together. Despite this book’s position later in the series order, it can be read as a standalone. The heroine of the … Continue reading Savor You by Kristen Proby →
Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen is $2.99 at Amazon and iBooks! I’m not sure how long this deal will last, as I believe it was a Kindle Daily Deal this weekend. I can’t recommended Allen’s books highly enough and I love the magical realism she incorporates. However, some readers wished they could have identified more with the characters.

I hate DNF’ing a book. My OCD tendencies mean I like to finish everything I start, even if the book is awful. So I think, for me, a DNF grade is actually the worst you can get. I was still riding the New Adult-normal-girl-dates-celebrity-vibe when I picked up Kristin Proby’s Come Away with Me but literally nothing about this book worked for me. I made it to the midway point, then gave up entirely. My … Continue reading Come Away With Me By Kristen Proby →

We want to thank Maggie for sending us this request. It was long overdue and I was surprised that we hadn’t received something similar sooner. I am very new to the romance genre, and would love to read some books with some plus-sized heroines, especially if that’s not the entire plot of the book. I don’t need beautiful fat ladies hating themselves, but a little insecurity is totally reasonable. Hopefully you can help! Amanda: First, … Continue reading The Rec League: Plus-Size Heroines →
Good news, everyone! I made this drink on a Wednesday afternoon after therapy instead of on a Thursday morning; I feel so accomplished. I also have to take Linus to the vet Thursday morning (he’s fine!), so necessity is the mother of invention. Or rather, necessity is the mother of invention when you’re on a deadline. This month’s cocktail is inspired by Kristen Proby’s Savor You! Do read Elyse’s review because (as always) it’s fantastic. … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: Paid Time Off →
