REVIEW: Dark Skye by Kresley Cole

WillafulC ReviewsParanormal4 Comments

Dear Ms. Cole: Back in 2008, Jane wrote about the romance trope subversion found in the “Immortals After Dark” series, in which the conventional male/female roles are often flipped. That continues in this story, which features a completely inexperienced hero and a heroine who’s been around the block quite a ... more >

REVIEW: The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan

WillafulB+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Need A Rec! / Recommended Readsfeminism / Historical Romances / journalist / POC author / Recommended Reads / Victorian28 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Milan: It seems very apt that the last book in the Brothers Sinister series is being promoted with a funny tumblr written by one of its characters, because it feels like a book that sprang from the Internet. I’m honestly not sure if that’s a complaint or a ... more >

REVIEW: Have Mercy by Shelley Ann Clark

WillafulB ReviewsContemporary romance / Erotic-Romance / femdom / Musicians / performers20 Comments

Dear Ms. Clark: I don’t normally include the book blurb in my reviews, but in this case, it seems significant.

WillafulBook Reviews / Reading Lists25 Comments

I recently discovered an astonishing online resource: Open Library, which is part of The Internet Archive. Open Library is “an open, editable library catalog, building towards a web page for every book ever published,” which is cool enough in itself — as a sad GoodReads librarian on strike, I’ve enjoyed ... more >

REVIEW: The Undoing of Daisy Edwards by Marguerite Kaye

WillafulB Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Reads1920s / actor/actress / ebook only / historical romance / London / post WWI / short-story14 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Kaye: I might not have started this if I’d realized it was part of the Harlequin Historical Undone line, and that would have been my loss. I think of Undones as short, sexy, frivolous stories; this is short and sexy, but far from frivolous. Five years after the ... more >

REVIEW: Burned by Sarah Morgan

WillafulB Reviews / Recommended ReadsContemporary romance / London / novella / second chance at love3 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Morgan: I enjoyed the novella Ripped, but found it leaned more towards chick-lit than I like, with its humor based on the narrator’s humiliation. The sequel Burned gets the balance just about right, combining many of the usual elements of contemporary romance with a fun, fresh voice and ... more >
