Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO is from Daniela, who is trying to find this contemporary romance: The heroine and hero are radio personalities. She talks about finding love and he used to do the same but since his heartbreak (cheating wife?), he’s mostly been teaching guys to be players. The producers gives him an ultimatum involving teaming up with the heroine and giving listeners first date ideas to fall in love. The only thing I can remember distinctly … Continue reading HaBO: Trapeze School Date →

Perhaps unsurprisingly, after reading House of Earth and Blood, I posit that the best barometer of whether or not you will enjoy this book is whether or not you have enjoyed Sarah J. Maas’ other books. All the hallmarks of Maas are here: a beautiful, semi-outcast heroine hiding an incredible power; a super-powerful, much older hero with a dark past; a jam-packed cast of intriguing secondary characters; loads of snarky and sassy dialogue, and nonstop, … Continue reading House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas →
