Book reviews, features, and a little pop culture.
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
Joy by C.S. Poe 4 of 5 stars Gideon Joy is on a quarter life crisis road trip when he has to stay in a small town in New Hampshire after his and another guy's cars are wrecked during a moose crossing. Gideon is a walking manifestation of Murphy's Law, or so he's convinced. This … Continue reading Joy (States of Love) by C.S. Poe
A Gathering Storm by Joanna Chambers 4 of 5 stars This is so, so good. I started reading it after it first came out and then put it down for a long time before finally doing myself a favor and finishing. I often have trouble getting through historicals (I know, I'm weird) so it's not … Continue reading A Gathering Storm (Porthkennack, #2) by Joanna Chambers
