Guest Review: Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

January 24, 2013 by Mandi 10 Comments

I’m happy to have Shelly back with another guest review. She reads a lot in the New Adult genre and wanted to share her review of Hopeless. As I was looking through Goodreads and scanning the internet for other reviews of this book I found it quite intriguing that it either got 5-stars or 1-star reviews. Nothing in the middle. There was either immense love (as Shelly has for it) or immense dislike. One person who really disliked this book is Brie from Romance Around the Corner. I encourage you Continue Reading

Guest Review: The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

January 10, 2013 by Mandi 13 Comments

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski New Adult Contemporary Romance November 15, 2012 Self Published Shelly is very passionate about books and music, and I was so happy when she offered to review this book. You can find more of her reviews at Goodreads. Before reading a novel I usually take a few minutes to check out the author; look at their website, other works, their bio, and (if they have a goodreads page) what books they read or recommend. I feel like I can better understand their Continue Reading

Guest Review: Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey and Giveaway

May 16, 2012 by Mandi 70 Comments

Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey May 29, 2009 Science Fiction/Fantasy Grand Central Publishing Jill Sorenson is back with another review! You guys! I found it. The most awesome book in the universe. SQUEEE!!! This was recommended multiple times in a thread at Smart Bitches. When I saw it at my local library, I snatched it up. I’m so glad I did. The author delivers strong characters, a sweet romance, and a fascinating dystopian world. Santa Olivia is a small town on the border of Continue Reading

Guest Review: Deadly Beauty by M.K. Elliott

May 2, 2012 by Mandi 6 Comments

Deadly Beauty by M.K. Eliot Paranormal/Erotic f/f Novella Warwick House Press Jill Sorenson is back to guest review. I’m going to start with a rant. I’ve complained about the lack of quality f/f romance before so skip ahead if you’ve heard this already. Hardly anyone I know reads it. Established authors don’t write it. Most publishers don’t offer it. How am I supposed to find good stuff? I follow LVLM’s blog but our tastes don’t always mesh. I’ve spent hours doing random searches Continue Reading

Guest Review: Cage the Darlings by Elora Bishop

March 13, 2012 by admin 7 Comments

Cage the Darlings by Elora Bishop F/F Fantasy November 2011 Self Published Guest Review by Jill Sorenson   This is a difficult review to write. I don’t read much Fantasy, and this story didn’t make a big impression on me. It’s easier to review books with obvious strengths and weaknesses. For Cage the Darlings, I had to look hard to find the flaws that led me to put it down. This fairy tale retelling opens with a young woman stealing a necklace from her latest conquest, a Continue Reading

February 16, 2012 by Mandi 3 Comments

Awake Unto Me by Kathleen Knowles F/F Romance January 17, 2012 Bella Distribution Jill Sorenson is back with another guest review! Bold Strokes Books is a publishing company known for lesbian romance. They also publish other types of gay fiction and m/m. Many of their titles are available on NetGalley, and whenever I request one I get instant approval. I like that! I also liked this book very much. I’m a sucker for cross-dressing heroines in m/f historical romances, so I find Continue Reading

Mini Reviews From Jill

December 7, 2011 by Mandi 13 Comments

Occasional guest reviewer Jill Sorenson is back with some mini reviews for us.   Hi Smexy! Thanks for having me back. I thought I’d do a quick wrap-up of some of the f/f and f/f/m stories I’ve read this year. Forbidden by Em Petrova: I requested this anthology on NetGalley because it had an f/f story. Noelle, the heroine, goes to an all-girl party with a murder/mystery theme. There are clues--and scantily clad ladies involved in shocking sex acts--around every corner. Noelle finds Continue Reading
