REVIEW: Half-Resurrection Blues by Daniel Jose Older

JiaB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsACE-ROC / Latina / New York City / POC / Urban-Fantasy4 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Mr. Older, I have an uneasy relationship with urban fantasy. During the subgenre boom some years back, I dove headfirst and devoured everything I could get my hands on. It seemed like I couldn’t get enough of it. But like all things, that phase came to an end and ... more >

REVIEW: Riding Dirty by Jill Sorenson

KaetrinB ReviewsContemporary / erotic / Latina / MC / multicultural9 Comments

Dear Ms. Sorenson, I remember you mentioning on Twitter or a maybe in a blog post that you decided to write an erotic MC (Motorcycle Club) book at least in part because of the popularity of the genre. It is somewhat out of the usual way for you.  It is ... more >

GUEST REVIEW: Badlands by Jill Sorenson

Guest ReviewerB Reviews / Recommended ReadsCalifornia / interracial-romance / Latina / romantic-suspense10 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Sorenson, If I’m not mistaken, Badlands is the first book of yours in which characters from an earlier, unresolved storyline get their own book and happy ending. It can probably be read on its own, as the back story is well-integrated into the narrative. Still, I’m glad that ... more >

REVIEW: The Edge of Night by Jill Sorenson

JanineB ReviewsCalifornia / cops / interracial-romance / Jill Sorenson / Latina / Latino / law-enforcement / romantic-suspense / Serial-Killer / single mother8 Comments

Readers of this review should know that Jill Sorenson contributes f/f and f/f/m reviews to this blog on a once-a-month basis. Dear Ms. Sorenson, Contemporary romantic suspense is a genre I can enjoy a lot when a book is well-executed, but most of the time, I don't find myself drawn ... more >

REVIEW: Stranded with Her Ex by Jill Sorenson

JayneDNF ReviewsHarlequin / Jill Sorenson / Latina / reunited-lovers / second chances38 Comments

Dear Ms. Sorenson, It is with regret that I write this DNF review. The blurb of “Stranded with Her Ex” sounded so interesting. Two divorced wildlife researchers – a seal researcher and a shark expert, stuck together out on a remote island, find each other again. But as I’ve sometimes ... more >

REVIEW: Adios to My Old Life by Caridad Ferrer

JiaB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book ReviewsLatina / music / Reality-TV / Young-Adult9 Comments

Dear Ms. Ferrer, This year, Jane, Janine and I are participating in the 2009 TBR Challenge.   I know your novel doesn’t fit into March’s theme but given my past history with this challenge, that should come as no surprise.   It was in my TBR pile, however.   And since I was ... more >
