Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven

Dragon Unleashed

Dragon Unleashed is a lovely and tender romance between two people who often feel misunderstood by the world around them. Unfortunately, the rest of the details outside of the romance are depressing as all get out. It’s not a fun world to be in and as a result, I did frequent skimming during the chapters that didn’t focus on the hero and heroine. Before we get into it, I do want to answer the biggest … Continue reading Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven

Reese and Hicks: The Movie Betas Who Won My Heart

Ripley and Hicks

My high point at San Diego Comic-Con this year was seeing the Aliens 30th Anniversary panel. Aliens turned 30 on July 18 and the panel included Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Michael Biehn, James Cameron (the director), and Gale Anne Hurd (the film’s producer). I was so touched by how kindly and warmly Michael Biehn and Sigourney Weaver spoke about each other. Their support of each other in person got me … Continue reading Reese and Hicks: The Movie Betas Who Won My Heart

The Rec League: Unassuming, Underestimated Heroes

The Rec League - heart shaped chocolate resting on the edge of a very old book

We received an email from Reader Nettle about her recent love of unassuming heroes. While I’m personally a fan of (at times overbearing) Alphas, I know some ladies at SBTB HQ love a good, quiet Beta hero. SB Sarah: ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME! *ahem* Here’s what Nettle wrote to us: This might be an odd request. I just re-read Georgette Heyer’s Cotillion, and Freddy made me want more heroes like him – … Continue reading The Rec League: Unassuming, Underestimated Heroes

Finding Master Right by Sparrow Beckett

Finding Master Right

We’ve spoken before at the Bitchery about how reading is often a form of comfort for us. Right now, the world is – as I like to call it – a dumpster fire. Turning on the news makes me incredibly upset, with more terrifying and awful stories every morning and afternoon. So I need a good book. I’m in the middle of a couple, but it’s a struggle to maintain my interest for whatever reason. … Continue reading Finding Master Right by Sparrow Beckett

Ripped by Edie Harris

Ripped

Before I start talking about the book, let me preface it with TRIGGER WARNING TRIGGER WARNING TRIGGER WARNING. While I may not discuss it heavily in the review, there is very graphic violence (mostly as backstory) and rape as backstory. If either of those are triggering for you in any way, I suggest forgoing this book. If not, please read on. For those who may remember, I reviewed the first Blood Money book – Blamed – and I enjoyed … Continue reading Ripped by Edie Harris
