When Carina announced their new Dirty Bits line, I was skeptical, to say the least. How would this line be different than their usual novellas? Were they simply rebranding erotic romance? Would it be full of problematic tropes and questionable HEAs?
Welcome to the April edition of Mini-Reviews! (There may be a second batch later this month.)
Margrethe tried to read a couple of f/f romances that fell flat and.... really flat. Suzanne read one as well, and an m/f historical with spies!
MY LADY'S CHOOSING is a choose-your-own-adventure regency romance novel and, as someone who grew up reading the classic CYOA stories, I had a lot of fun with it. Before I get into the review - I rarely recommend a specific format, but I do think the experience would be better if I was reading it in paper rather than clumsily attempting to swipe to the correct page.
I’m not sure how to write a review that accurately describes how fun, romantic, and sexy this book is but I’ll give it the old college try. With every book of hers I read I’m falling deeper in love with Talia Hibbert’s writing and A Girl Like Her is a textbook example of why.
This is a difficult review to write, because a lot of my 2017 reading emotions were tied up in this series. I've loved Alisha Rai's writing for a long time, but this series has had two heroines in therapy and a recurring refrain of "you deserve love" that's incredibly empowering and comforting to read. I could write a 10 page essay on this book, so how about I give you the highlights, instead?
Welcome to the March edition of mini-reviews! Four books this time, including a gothic, a m/m Victorian paranormal, and two m/f farmer books.
I’m really bad at positive reviews because my mind wants to shower you in glitter and confetti and what words convey that? But I’m going to try anyway because I really liked A SCOT’S SURRENDER and good books should be shared.
Jenny Holiday's ONE AND ONLY is one of those books that leaves you smiling at the end. It's full of elements that are delightful on their own, but combined make something full of hope and joy and laughter. And hot sex. That, too. Jane is a YA fantasy author who cosplays Xena at one point in the book. XENA. This line is what got me to pick up the book, but I stayed for a bunch of reasons.
In my continued quest to read and review f/f romances, it's almost impossible to capture my excitement when I found the Puppy Love series in the Audible Romance Package. First, there are f/f romances in the Audible Romance Package! [Clicking on the link above will get you a special trial of Audible and support the site.
