When I redid the re-captioning of Wayne Jordan’s book from the Uncyclopedia definition of romance, the book itself caught my eye. The synopsis sounded very interesting, so I ordered it. Mason Sinclair is recovering from a terrible injury sustained in the line of duty when his mother tells him that the man the thought was his father was not, and that he has three brothers he never knew about. Lianne Thomas is undercover protecting a … Continue reading Embracing the Moonlight by Wayne Jordan →
Boy, did I have high hopes when I read the cover copy and the excerpt for this book. Check out the back copy: Trevor d’Laine’s sexy voice seduced her every night with his late-night radio talk show. So Kay Erikson couldn’t pass up the chance to be his personal assistant — despite his insistence that he was a vampire. Vampires didn’t wear faded jeans. And they were dark and brooding, not vibrant and fun. Not … Continue reading Love Bites by Margaret St. George →
I paid $5 to read this book on my Blackberry, and took two Tylenol for the headache I got from reading on the tiny screen, and two more this morning for residual agony. I’m thinking that I might need some kind of counseling to recover from the utter badness that is this book, and that’s roughly, what, $80-100 an hour? This was a very expensive mistake indeed, but when the Bitchery clamors for a review, … Continue reading Gold Plated Garbage Truck by T.C. Allen →
It’s awful. it’s just awful. Does that sum it up enough? No? You want me to relive the story details for you, to put my brain through the egg beater one more time? I’m already mour stupidur for having read this stinker of a book. But fine. About two or three weeks ago, anonymous packages started showing up on my porch every few days. Inside each one was a Cassie Edwards novel. Due to this … Continue reading Savage Moon by Cassie Edwards →
Candy sent me this book in a box full of other books with the warning, “I’m sending you this because you have to read it. I can’t.” If Candy can’t bring herself to read it, I’m in such deep trouble. And yup, this book pretty much irritated the shit out of me right from the get-go. Calantha, Duchess of Clairborne is the reclusive and quiet widow of what had to have been a right bastard … Continue reading Take Me by Lucy Monroe →
I tried very hard to get through this book, but when I reached page 100 and still wanted to throttle the heroine, her mother, her roommates, and everyone else, I had to put it down. Between the frustrating and unreliable heroine and the wooden ancillary characters, I’d had enough. The heroine, Monette Victor, has just been released from prison after new evidence of bribery and extortion in her prosecution revealed that she had been framed … Continue reading Soulful Strut by Lynn Emery →
I’ve reviewed this book before—most recently for All About Romance—and God knows I keep bringing this book up in conversation. Why? Because it’s the Worst Book Ever. I’m not joking. You think you’ve read awful books before, books that made you wonder how they got published? Read this one. This bad book will cock-slap your bad book AND RAPE IT IN THE ASS, guaranteed. Sarah asked me today whether I remembered the plot. The answer … Continue reading Desire’s Blossom by Cassie Edwards →
This book, it is bad. So bad, it will induce you to commit violence against your ancestors. I am going to write this review based on the ten or so pages I read. I didn’t buy it. I didn’t even take it out of the library. I made no effort to choose this book. It was on the shelf in the bathroom of the rental house in St. John, and I figured I’d give it … Continue reading The Future Scrolls by Fern Michaels →
I have to give this book an F because I am so damn bored by it I don’t even want to finish it. I’m on page 135 out of 311 and I couldn’t give less of a shit about these characters. So this will have to be a half-finished review because I can’t be bothered to give a damn. I think it speaks volumes that I am in my 2nd trimester and flush with hormones … Continue reading The Demon’s Daughter by Emma Holly →
