Oh yeah… and tomorrow’s pre-orders (below). Kim Jones, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Nalini Singh, Kendall Ryan, Beth Flynn and Gail Carriger just to name a few. *oomph*!!!!! 😀 read more

Book Review – Midair by Kodi Scheer

By Leave a Comment

Midair
Intriguing (even exciting!!) blurb, and overall, I enjoyed it, even though I was able to put it down regularly. Loaded in personal realizations and rationalizations, but then real life hits, and things are thrown for a loop (which I crave in my reads).

That said, I found this one to be a slow read. While I was interested in where it was going (was it going to a be a psych thriller? Was it a case of mean girls gone really wrong? Would it be a personal growth story?), the pacing wasn’t as engaging and addictive as I had hoped. read more

The Ultimate List Of Sports Star Romance

By 45 Comments

How in the heck did I not already have THIS list up?!! Some of my absolute favorite “new adult” books feature the sports star/girl-next-door fantasy. Whether he’s famous worldwide, or the college hero, there’s nothing better than being best friends (and maybe more) with one. Done right, whether they be loaded in cocky bad-boyness, or we have a more subdued, brooding-guy slow burn, these are the books that keep hitting the best sellers lists.

And it’s not for nothing. They can be hilarious (especially with a well-written entourage… like more popular guy friends). They tickle our “romance fantasy” needs (that, of being THE ONE noticed by the star that can have anybody they want), plus you get that family feel with the whole cast of characters. Pining and unrequited love. Angsty misunderstandings and endearing silly hijinks. Unexpected true friendships, groupies and mean girls. Nerds and jocks. Rumors and paparazzi. Throw ’em together in one story, and it promises unputdownable FUN!!! Plus, the sports stars tend to be a little alpha-male, so that’s always a plus. 😉 read more

Guest Review (my sister!!) – Revealed (Brides of the Kindred Book 6) by Evangeline Anderson

Pursued Brides of the Kindred 6

Review by Johanne Pearl Couturier

That’s it! Baird, the Kindred with whom I had fallen in love with in the first book of the Brides of the Kindred series, has now been replaced by Merrick. He’s scarred, both inside and out, and he’s HUGE, much bigger than his Kindred brothers because he is a half-breed, a mix of Tranq and Beast Kindred. He is so violent that he terrifies most people that meets him, even some Kindred warriors, except the lovely, very petite Elise, which he found in strange circumstances. read more
