Now, thanks to two children, she reads lots of picture books and middle grade fiction in addition to tons of fantasy and romance.

This HaBO comes from Kim. She’s looking for a romance she bought through Columbia House quite a while ago: She’s a virginal beauty with flowing raven black curls, violet eyes, and a tiny waist that accentuated the “flare of her hips.” She’s an apprentice to a very old famous painter, known for getting a little “inspiration” from his muses, if ya know what I mean. The lead is tall, has tawny hair, a broad chest, chiseled … Continue reading HaBO: Art Apprentice Realizes Her Mentor is Her Father→
RECOMMENDED: Opening Up by Lauren Dane is $2.99! This is the first book in the Ink & Chrome erotic contemporary series. Elyse gave the book an A-:
First of all, let’s take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous the cover of Opening Up is. I’d hang that on my wall. I really would. But the contents of the book are just as lovely.
Still this book was incredibly sexy and often very funny. It made me duck out on the coworker I was traveling with: “I’d love to go to TGI Fridays with you, but PJ and Asa have a new leather cane they’ve been dying to try out and also I need to know how his weenus piercing feels without a condom, so I’m gonna just head up to my room, ‘kay, thanks.”
Are you ready, folks? It’s been a tough week already, and it’s only Monday, so you know what that means. No, not that. No, no, the other thing. Yes! It’s time for me to I settle down with a strong adult beverage and gird my loins in order to watch a dozen or so women compete for the love of The Bachelor. AKA Nick Viall. AKA this guy: Last week everyone went to New Orleans. I figured out … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor – Episode Six: Rebellion→
This HaBO is from Stephanie, who is hoping to find out what happened to a secondary character: I’m looking for the title of a book in a series that I started, but the first book is escaping me! The book is about a woman who returns to her hometown reluctantly. She meets a guy there and falls in love. It may have been after a death in the family. I believe the series took place in … Continue reading HaBO: Heroine Meets Mail Order Bride on Plane to Montana→
Oh how I enjoyed Seven Nights to Surrender by Jeanette Grey. It’s a lovely travel romance with incredibly hot, empowering sex scenes. It plays on some of the New Adult tropes I typically hate–Hero With Tragic Past Who Cannot Love, for example–but it does them well.
Sometimes I can only take so much crazysauce and wtfery before I have to tap out. I know, I know, you good folks rely on me to read this shit so you don’t have to, but even I have my limits. I DNF’d Hunt the Dawn, but I did get far enough to share some prime F+ moments with you. Hunt the Dawn is a romantic suspense novel featuring Lathaniel (yes, yes, that is his actual … Continue reading Hunt the Dawn by Abbie Roads→
This book was pitched to me as “Muslim Nancy Drew” and I couldn’t move my fingers fast enough to add it to the TBR-I (To Be Read IMMEDIATELY) list. While the mystery elements sometimes make abrupt turns and some of the secondary characters are a little awkwardly obvious, the core characters of Asiya Haque, her best friend, and her family are just delightful. Asiya Haque is a Muslim high school senior in Canada who is very … Continue reading God Smites and Other Muslim Girl Problems by Ishara Deen→
Hard Knocks by Ruby Lang is $1.99! This contemporary romance has a neurologist heroine and a hockey playing hero. Readers really loved the characterization of the hero and heroine, but some found the heroine a bit cold at times. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
