Curves for Days is a lovely little romance that tells a worthwhile story about two emotionally scarred people who find themselves falling in love. Moher delivers an excellent small town romance but there are a couple of issues that keep this from being an A – including a weak third act. Alice Rose Barnes is…
I love a story that takes me into a setting in detail, but the people who inhabit this setting have to be developed as well. So while I loved the big no-expense-spared New Jersey desi wedding in Nisha Sharma’s Tastes Like Shakkar, I couldn’t enjoy the incompetent wedding planner heroine or intermittent kinkster hero who…
This is a sweet summer read. I was drawn to the book by its colorful cover and a happy reading memory of Ali Brady’s last book, The Beach Trap. In The Comeback Summer we see two sisters, Hannah and Libby, conquer their fears and find love while working to save the public relations firm they…
Do you like a boss/employee taboo scenario that takes consent and power equality seriously? A hero who wants the heroine’s submission to come from a position of choice and strength, and to also make space for her own pleasure? Are you open to a ‘meet cute’ in a glory hole? Then Suzanne Clay’s Release may…
Ship Wrecked, the third installment in Olivia Dade’s Spoiler Alert series, started off strong, and I felt confident that after a long dry spell, I might have found myself a solid A-grade read. The writing is solid and the main characters really grabbed me. Unfortunately, big pacing problems and a bit of false advertising turned…
When Life Gives You Vampires is one of the biggest disappointments I’ve had this year as a reader. It’s a lighthearted, cheesy, and somewhat immature-feeling story about a young woman who’s horrified to wake up one morning with pointy teeth, no reflection and a craving for blood. As one does. There’s a lot of spirit…
The Geek Girl Squad: Rosie is a very pleasant, quick read of a romance with enjoyable characters, but some of the plot elements keep the book from DIK level. Rosie McGann has a very busy life. She is a super competent nurse whose close relationship to the other members of the Geek Girl Squad –…
The Makeup Test has an unfortunate one-two punch under its belt: its unlikable characters do unlikable things. A lot. Howe’s breezy writing keeps the reader engaged, but with these characters that’s not necessarily a pleasant thing. Allison Avery is finally on her way. A freshwoman at Claymore University, she finds herself overwhelmed by the size…
The Accidental Pinup is fun, smart, well-written and filled with snappy dialogue with a lovable heroine and a fun premise. Cassie Harris runs a boudoir photography company called Buxom Boudoir, and has convinced her friend Dana to model for her. Dana in turn wants Cassie to photograph the campaign for her new plus-sized lingerie line,…
See You Yesterday is the funny, snarky, delightful and delectable new read from Rachel Lynn Solomon. A tale about reliving the same day over and over again, this sweet sci-fi YA novel is a perfect summer read. On Wednesday, her first day of college, Barrett Bloom gets an unwanted roommate in the form of her…
