A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon is 99c! Shana reviewed this one and gave it a B:
A Cowboy to Remember was an enjoyable read, but left me with the type of disappointment that only happens when your expectations are very high. Still, this is a low angst, and frequently funny romance that allows readers to get their cowboy fix without traveling to a red state.
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 edition of Lightning Reviews is a duo of books that couldn’t be more different. One is a contemporary western romance with big ol’ belt buckles and worn-in boots. The other book is filled with girl power, adventure, and a sisterly bond for the ages. Enjoy!

I don’t even know what to title these things anymore. There is no theme to this collection of stuff. It’s just…stuff. Tarot cards, fun videos, virtual book events. If you’re curious how I’ll be spending my afternoon, I somehow have all the ingredients for this. … It’s okay to treat yourself and, right now, I’m ogling this gorgeous botanical-themed tarot deck on Kickstarter. It’s already reached its goal, so you’re guaranteed to get your reward! … Continue reading Links: Just Stuff
I’ve been salivating over A Cowboy to Remember for months. The actual story was quieter than I expected, but it also had feminist cowboys in Southern California, so I can’t be mad. As a regular fan of Weatherspoon, the tone of A Cowboy to Remember felt flatter than the cheeky dialogue of her recent books (Rafe, Xeni). I wanted more angst and laughs, but the book left me with the warm glow of having just … Continue reading A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Xeni was such a treat to read. When I heard this contemporary romance had a chubby Scot and an African-American witch, in a marriage arranged by a dead relative, I was all in. These characters felt realistic and like they could have been my friends, albeit the kind of friends who keep sneaking away to bone in the bathroom. Their romance was both completely absorbing and drama-free. It was like drinking an automatically re-filling glass … Continue reading Xeni by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Aww you guys – here’s another romance with a set up that is so catnippy that you’ll one-click by the end of this paragraph. Rafe is a contemporary romance about a divorced Black surgeon who needs a nanny on short notice for her twin six year old daughters. Enter Rafe, a professional nanny who has worked for several families and has glowing references. He’s also tall, covered with tattoos, ginger, bearded, and rides a motorcycle. He … Continue reading Rafe by Rebekah Weatherspoon
