Recommended Reads Saturday: Slammed by Collen Hoover

I am recommending this book because Like I said before, it was very refreshing and different than any other YA book I’ve read. The main character is named Layken and she is a strong character who goes through a lot. The H’s name is Will and he is so swoon worthy. The following is an(…)

Debut Print Book: Can’t Buy Me Love by MollyO’Keefe

GUEST REVIEW: Power Play by Charlotte Stein

The following is a guest review from dri who you can find at http://aquandrian.livejournal.com I started pilfering Mills & Boons at the age of nine from a housemate who tactfully pretended not to notice, read every romance novel I could lay my hands on from SuperRomances to Victoria Holt to Barbara Cartland to Catch-22 (there was(…)

GUEST REVIEW:  BadAss by Sable Hunter

GUEST REVIEW: BadAss by Sable Hunter

All right, so I may have gone overboard with the length of my last review. Smarminess levels were appropriate, but I freely admit I have difficulty shutting myself up sometimes. To avoid a repeat of that tl:dr trauma, and because I am a Geek and a Nerd and a Dork with NO LIFE, I decided(…)

Over the past couple years I’ve read dozens of romances where one or both of the protagonists lives with some sort of disability. Unfortunately, I’ve found that most books(…)
