Call it Love may be the first of this type of romance I’ve listened to, based on the cover when I received it as a review copy. It was more adult oriented than I was expecting, to be honest. It has that stupid-ass “green eyes” trope I fucking despise (re-usable template following this). And that… Continue reading Review: Some Call It Love

Review: Dragonrider Academy: Season 1: Episodes 1-7
Never trust a jock.
That was my first mistake. When Max Green invited me to a night party on the beach, I should have known better. The Resorties are rich kids who can’t see past their own cruelty. When Max and his friends trap me in the water, the only way for me to go is down.
It would have been an ironic death, given that my father drowned in the very same waters. But that’s not what happened. Instead my entire world changed when the Lady of the Lake took me to a new realm, one that had been hidden from me my entire life.
Dragonrider Academy is a secret society I’m not even supposed to know exists. It has knights with talking swords, professors who breathe fire, and a hot guy named Killian who seriously gets on my nerves.
It’s his fault I’m stuck here in the first place. He wants me to be his partner and face all the challenges Dragonrider Academy has to offer. He says we’re fated to be together, that I was the one who called him! Crazy talk.
Or is it?
Whatever secret he’s hiding, I need to get it out of him before I do something stupid… like fall for the bad boy who got me into this mess in the first place.
Review: The Damned
Damali Richards knows all about a blood rush. The kind that happened when she first went skin-to-skin with former vampire Carlos Rivera. Or the kind that happened on the streets of Philadelphia, when her crew took on the devil’s own.

The Damned are seeping out from below, and a new contagion is spreading simply by touch. For Damali and Carlos, time is running out. With Armageddon near, the ultimate truths lie strewn from a shaken underworld to the pristine mountains of Tibet, where the two lovers will approach a pinnacle of power―and the scintillating, shocking secret of salvation….

Review: The Romantic Ideal
To start off with, I’m not even remotely interested in romance, relationships, sex, dating, bla bla bla. I find other people to be utterly insufferable, and the only thing I’m “attracted” to is being left the fuck alone. So if you’re wondering now, why I would even listen to or read this, the answer is… Continue reading Review: The Romantic Ideal

Review: New Orleans Nocturnes Collection 1
Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this paranormal romantic-comedy collection by award-winning author Carrie Pulkinen!
Fantastic. It’s just my luck I get turned into a vampire by an Edward Cullen wannabe who has Captain Jack Sparrow as his mentor.
He did gift me with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain.
There’s only one tiny problem….
I faint at the sight of blood.
All I wanted was to have the time of my life with my bestie at Mardi Gras. But you know what they say….
It’s all fun and games until someone wakes up dead.
Follow Jane, Sophie, and Crimson on their journeys to navigate the world of supernatural New Orleans and maybe even find love along the way!
