When I started Siri, Who Am I? I did not like it. I was grumpy, because I expected some realism and good detecting, neither of which are in this book. Then I settled into the story I was actually reading, which is as enjoyable and sparkly as one of the slushies that the protagonist enjoys. This is a goofy but also sharp romantic-comedy with a lot of references to pop culture, nerd culture, and the … Continue reading Siri, Who Am I? by Sam Tschida→
It’s the last Wednesday in January! Who let that happen? We have something very exciting this weekend that will probably make you all feel a bit verklempt. I don’t want to spoil it, but check back on Sunday! Additionally, February is right around the corner and we all know what that means: a deluge of misinformed romance reading op-eds. We really should make a drinking game for those. … Thanks to AHP for sending this … Continue reading Links: Jessie’s Girl, Fashion, & More→
The Ex Talk is an enemies-to-lovers fake relationship romance set in the world of public radio. It is also something of a belated coming of age story. Shay Goldstein has been working at Pacific Public Radio for ten years, beginning as the ‘wunderkind’ intern, and rising to the role of producer of the station’s flagship show, Puget Sounds. She loves public radio for its ability to tell stories that connect personally with listeners, and for … Continue reading The Ex Talk by Rachel Solomon→
Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon is $2.99 at select vendors! This is the first book in the Beards & Bondage series and the other books are also $2.99! Be warned that this is rather dark and the heroine experiences some terrible trauma. I thought this one was all right, but I’m not a huge fan of using BDSM as a form of therapy, which I feel like it did at times.
This HaBO is from Caitlin, who wants to find this romantic suspense: I’m trying to remember the name of a contemporary romance novel that I read within the past year or so. It starts with the heroine moving her things out of the shared couple’s place and breaking it off, when there is a fire or a bomb. It turns out the hero has been lying to her and is a spy or secret agent … Continue reading HaBO: Secret Agents Have Animal Nicknames→
When I first told Sarah I wanted to review The Heiress Gets a Duke, her response was, “But that’s a historical romance.” Yes, correct. Spot on. And, having worked with her for nearly a decade now (whoa!) it’s a fair point. I’ve been open about my aversion to historical romances. It’s not for any personal reasons, but often the tone isn’t for me and I overindulged when I first started in the genre. It’s rare … Continue reading The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. George→
The Witness by Nora Roberts is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and one of Roberts’ romantic suspense titles. The cover of this one also boasts that it’s her 200th book, which holy hell. I thought Elyse reviewed this one previously, but my memory is failing me today.
It’s Cover Snark time, y’all! And there’s clearly a theme this time. From Hng: The hair! The abs! The lightning on the abs! The neon purple glow-y haze! The hair! Sarah: I feel so seen. He has quarantimes hair like I do. His has its own weather pattern, though. Amanda: I feel like this is a weird “seeing eye” test. If I stare at it long enough, will it make sense? Sarah: He looks so … Continue reading Cover Snark: A Rose By Any Other Name→
