TW/CW: Sexual assault and harrassment. How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days is a slow burn fantasy romance that (despite the slowness of the romance) takes place over a week. There’s magic and assassinations, but for all its perceived elements of adventure, it was a rather subdued and odd read. If a child is born when the twin moons align in the world of Aerthlan, they are known as Embraced, gifted with a variety … Continue reading How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days by Kerrelyn Sparks →
NB: Welcome to Flashback Friday! (Yes, we know it’s Saturday, but we can make our own rules!) For the holidays, we thought you’d all like to revisit this bonkers review of Blitzen’s Fated Mate. This review was originally published December 12, 2016. Happy holidays and may your celebrating being joyous! I swear to God, Amazon is fucking with me. I mean, maybe not. To be fair, I did some Cyber Monday shopping while swigging cold medicine … Continue reading Blitzen’s Fated Mate by RE Butler →
Welcome to the latest edition of I Read This Shit So You Don’t Have To. Trigger warnings for discussion of rape and assault. When I picked up Scandal Becomes Her I was super excited for the gothic elements it offered. Instead I got a pile of WTFery and a hero who is solidly on Team Don’t Fuck That Guy. I’m pretty much spoiling the shit out of everything in this review, so if you actually want to … Continue reading Scandal Becomes Her by Shirlee Busbee →
First of all, you’re welcome. Claimed by The Machine is a sci-fi erotic novella about some aliens who discover human beings, go to a brothel, and have buttsecks. They are not actually machines, but rather they are constructed out of organic material and I know this because machines don’t produce that volume of semen. So anyway, this book takes place in the distant future. Some aliens, who apparently are non corporeal and function like a hive … Continue reading Claimed by The Machine by Emily Tilton →
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 →
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 →
NB: Welcome to Flashback Friday! Since Elyse is no stranger to WTF books, we’d hate for everyone to forget about her glorious Wereshark review! If you’re like me, you might need an extra dose of laughter before meeting up with family over the holidays. This post was originally published January 27, 2016. After reviewing books about mermaid strippers, orca shifters, and WWI submariner tentacle monsters, I think it’s only fair that I appoint myself the Smart … Continue reading Passions of the Wereshark by Jack Madique →
I think I was hungry when I came up with this idea, but really, if there are going to be subscription boxes, and snack subscription boxes, shouldn’t there be a snack subscription box series tailored to match different reading genres? I mean, let us be honest: there are some evenings when The Day Hath Been Crap where all you want is a book, some salty and/or sweet snacking deliciousness, and possibly wine. Alcohol delivery being … Continue reading April Fools 2016: We Haven’t Fed Everyone Yet! →
This cover came to us from anonymous, and we salute anonymous with all the anonymous wine glasses. RedHeadedGirl: …. What….exactly… is the dark void? Sarah: Ummmm. RedHeadedGirl: It’s the butt, isn’t it? Carrie: Is that really a question you want answered? RedHeadedGirl: no Carrie: Well then RedHeadedGirl: I have some anatomy questions Carrie: I like how the tall guy looks super bored or possibly mortified and the short guy seems to find something in his line of sight to … Continue reading Cover Snark: The Dark Void →
Back in October of 2014, LJ sent us a picture of the cover of Forbidden Passion by Sarah Holland, and shared some of the content with us, too. Blazing eyes! A unicorn on set! She was reading it at the time, and now has written up a most epic rant about this book, which sounds simply marvelous. Because this rant is long, like HELLA long, I’m adding some gifs and images to help break up the … Continue reading Forbidden Passion by Sarah Holland: A Guest Rant by LJ →
TW: for pretty much everything, k? We want you to feel safe. Okay, remember how Claire was supposed to sleep with Laurent but made herself throw up to gross him out? Now she’s walking home the morning after barefoot, having left the FMPs he gave her behind. That’s probably a really bad idea in NYC. As always, Romeo watches what’s going on and seems to know more than he should. Oh hey, Bryan the rapist … Continue reading Flesh and Bone Episode 3: Reconnaissance →
