Determining Possession by Christina C JonesContemporary RomanceJuly 19, 2017, Self PublishedReview by Melanie I saw someone recommending this book on twitter a week or so ago and I truly wish I could remember who that person was or what they said that sold this book to me so completely because I would dearly love to thank them. This book scratches my personal romance id in a way that is so perfect, that it’s almost hard to put into words but I’m going to do my best to try. Heroine Continue Reading
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Branded by Fire
Melinda: We’re excited to be back and once again have a new dynamic to examine with two alpha changelings in a mated pair with Mercy and Riley. But first we need to give a content warning for suicide of secondary characters. We don't actually touch on that in our deep dive, but this book does have that in the plot so if that bothers you please take care of yourself and skip either all of this book or at least those parts. So we start out with Mercy, immediately being extremely horny and I Continue Reading
Review: The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian
The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian June 8, 2021 by Avon Historical Romance Reviewed by Kate The Queer Principles of Kit Webb was somehow both what I expected and nothing like I expected. I typically love Cat Sebastian’s books, and I really did enjoy The Queer Principles of Kit Webb, but it had darker themes than I would expect based on my experience with her books in the past. This doesn’t mean that it isn’t still a sweet romance, but the main storyline is pretty Continue Reading
Review: The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary
The Road Trip by Beth O'Leary Contemporary Romance June 1, 2021 by Berkley Reviewed by Kate Having read The Flatshare and The Switch by Beth O’Leary, I had an expectation going into The Road Trip. The expectation was that The Road Trip would be lighter on the romance arc, but funny and heartwarming and sweet regardless. However, The Road Trip didn’t really fit those expectations. The Road Trip is a book with a reader’s guide at the back, and a content warning list that feels like it could Continue Reading

This Week on TikTok
Holy cow, it’s hot this week. Wow!! I’ve spent a lot of time indoors, enjoying my AC and hoping there are no mandatory power shut offs here in Northern California. And, speaking of hot… my obsession is @Whiteyy18. An unfortunate choice of naming, but his last name is White, so he went there. Coming in at #5 is William White, also known as @Whiteyy18. This guy has blown up with the Gen X ladies. If Rob Lowe, Shaun Cassidy and Patrick Swayze were blended together on the cover of Tiger Continue Reading
Cover Reveal: Pretty Boy D by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne
I love this series! Check out my review for The Golden Boys (book one) by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne. Sooooo good! Now we have Dane's story. VERY excited to read this. And give me a moment while I swoon over that cover. Dane Golden—Best friend. Temptation in football cleats. Roommate? I’m screwed. His followers don’t call him Pretty Boy D for nothing. The guy is, literally, God’s gift to women. I should know. I’ve watched chicks throw themselves at him since puberty. Sharing Continue Reading
Kate’s Minis: Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey and A Lowcountry Bride by Preslaysa Williams
Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey June 15, 2021 by Berkley Contemporary Romance Very Sincerely Yours is an adorable book. Unfortunately, I don't have that much more to say about it. It follows romance novel conventions, including the third act break-up, has one of my favorite tropes (hidden identity), and is very sweet. This is obviously not a negative - sometimes this is what you're looking for in a book! But not a ton happens in Very Sincerely Yours, and despite the aforementioned Continue Reading
Review: Sancte Diaboli by Amo Jones
Wow…what did I just read? First, to really even get close to understanding Sancte Diaboli by Amo Jones, you need to read the other books in the series. Here’s my review. This one picks up right where part one ends. Spoiler… get ready. ..... ..... ..... Our, h, Saint has been shuttled away to safety from a dangerous situation. But, it feels a lot like an abduction to her. Which, it kind of is, to be fair. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the finale of this Continue Reading
