Book reviews, features, and a little pop culture.
Connection Error by Annabeth Albert My rating: 4 of 5 stars Though this isn't the best of Albert's books, I still stayed up way past my bedtime consuming it last night and then proceeded to get no work done today as I instead read this on my Kindle while curled up in a semi-comfortable armchair … Continue reading Book Review: Connection Error (#gaymers, #3) by Annabeth Albert
His Royal Secret by Lilah Pace My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well this was fun. And hot. And well-written. A prince (the Prince of Wales, to be precise) gets his own prince charming in the form of a rugged Israeli journalist with abandonment issues and a penchant for denial. Their chemistry is off the … Continue reading His Royal Secret (His Royal Secret, #1) by Lilah Pace
Broken Protocol by A.R. Barley My rating: 2 of 5 stars I wish I could say I liked this more than I did, but I DNF'd it at about 70%. It wasn't really the book; it was me. I wasn't much of a fan of Dante, one of the MCs, who came across as unlikable … Continue reading Broken Protocol (Smoke & Bullets #2) by A.R. Barley
The Wolf at the Door by Charlie Adhara My rating: 4 of 5 stars Consider me blown away. I find the fact that Adhara is a debut author incredible because everything about this book is solid. I loved the mix of mystery/police procedural, romance, and paranormal. The paranormal element comes in the form of werewolves, … Continue reading The Wolf at the Door (Big Bad Wolf, #1) by Charlie Adhara
Tribute Act by Joanna Chambers My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved this. Two opposite main characters fall in love over the course of one's recovery from donating part of his liver to their extremely ill sister. Yes, they are stepbrothers, but they don't meet until right before said donation due to a crappy … Continue reading Tribute Act (Porthkennack, #8) by Joanna Chambers
Dragon Fire, Angel Light by Shara Godwinson My rating: 1 of 5 stars *I received an eARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*I really wanted to like this. It has an intriguing premise--a dragon shifter thousands of years old falling in love with a human--but it did not work on paper. The … Continue reading Review: Dragon Fire, Angel Light by Shara Godwinson
Kidnapped by the Pirate by Keira Andrews 4 of 5 stars Holy swashbuckling, Batman! This was even more enjoyable than I thought it would be. One would think there would be great amounts of adventure in a book with the word pirate in the title, but that didn’t exactly cross my mind when I began … Continue reading Kidnapped by the Pirate by Keira Andrews
Kill Game by Cordelia Kingsbridge 5 of 5 stars A detective and a bounty hunter are thrown together on a serial killer case that gets personal. The mystery, the characterization, the chemistry, the writing are all basically perfect. I love these characters and have no idea who the killer is, which is rare for me. … Continue reading Kill Game (Seven of Spades, #1) by Cordelia Kingsbridge
In the Middle of Somewhere by Roan Parrish 4 of 5 stars I was thinking the other day about this book, and it was really just me making noises about it in my head. It could probably be about 50 pages shorter, with some sexy times cut, but I often read books like an editor. … Continue reading In the Middle of Somewhere (Middle of Somewhere, #1) by Roan Parrish
Baked Fresh by Annabeth Albert 4 of 5 stars What I loved about this was how real the two main dudes are. One is a newly dumped recovering addict, and the other lost three family members to heart attacks before undergoing gastric bypass surgery. The way they worked through their issues together was believable and … Continue reading Baked Fresh (Portland Heat, #2) by Annabeth Albert
