I confess, I have read almost all of Cat Sebastian’s books. There are so few left that I haven’t read, I’m savouring them and trying to make them last. So when I received an ARC of this book, I was just about ready to plotz. Saying that I went into this book with high expectations would be an understatement. Usually, this doesn’t end well for me, but, dear Bitchery, that is not the case this … Continue reading The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian →

I never thought I’d say this, but The Hellion’s Waltz is just too darn nice. This historical f/f romance is beautifully written and full of kind, courageous, intelligent characters. It is also boring. I never would have thought that I’d get tired of reading a book in which people say kind and encouraging things to each other, but it turns out that yes, I really can have too little conflict in a story. The book … Continue reading The Hellion’s Waltz by Olivia Waite →

RECOMMENDED: Subversive by Colleen Cowley is $3.99! I’m unsure if that’s any sort of sale though. Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
Subversive is the first book in the Clandestine Magic trilogy and when I finished it I immediately one-clicked the next two books. Subversive ends on a cliffhanger so be prepared to rush to the next book, which also ends on a cliffhanger, before wrapping everything up at the trilogy’s end.

We open up with a group date. Heather McDonald of the Juicy Scoop podcast is there and she quizzes the men about female sexuality. Mike talks about being a virgin again, but doesn’t reveal it to the group. Then they have to give a presentation about what makes them the greatest lover. WTF. Like a power point? Mike is upset and starts crying. We are nine minutes into this, people. Here’s the thing: there’s nothing … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S17 E2: Connor the Cat →
