Earl to the Rescue Author: Jane Ashford Reviewer: Ang Rating: C What I’m Talking About: I wanted to like Earl to the Rescue. The storyline had a ton of potential, but it just never lived up to it. The characters, when they weren’t bland and predictable, were annoying; for example the heroine, Gwendeline constantly refers […]
The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl Author: Annika Martin Reviewer: Jen Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl is one of the funniest, sexiest books I’ve read in a while – probably since the last Annika Martin title I devoured. Billionaire CEO/scientist Theo lives in his own world, consumed with his formulas and life-saving […]
Band Sinister Author: KJ Charles Reviewer: B.

The Proposal Author: Jasmine Guillory Reviewer: Jen Rating: B- What I’m Talking About: After experiencing mixed feelings about Jasmine Guillory’s debut title, The Wedding Date, I wanted to give her sophomore offering, The Proposal, the benefit of the doubt. While overall the writing in The Proposal was tighter and the story flowed better than The […]
In the Vanishers’ Palace Author: Aliette de Bodard Reviewer: B. Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Never having read any works by this author, and being less familiar with this genre than with others, I had no idea what to expect from In the Vanishers’ Palace. While its description as a retelling of Beauty and […]
If I Loved You Less Author: Tamsen Parker Reviewer: B. Rating: B What I’m Talking About: As a sucker for Austen adaptations (I still revisit Clueless when the need arises), I had high hopes for If I Loved You Less, a new consideration of Emma by Tamsen Parker. In many ways, I wasn’t disappointed. Filled with […]
Audiobook review: Stud in the Stacks Author: Pippa Grant Narrators: Karen White & Joe Arden Audio Speed: 1.5x Series: Standalone Genre: Contemporary Romance Source: Tantor Audio Right from the start, I knew I was going to love Stud in the Stacks.
