REVIEW: Unbreak Me by Michelle Hazen

KaetrinBook Reviews / C- ReviewsContemporary / horses / Hurricane Katrina / interracial-romance / Montana / New-Orleans / sexual-assault2 Comments

CW: Sexual assault, and scenes of remembered trauma and death from Hurricane Katrina, racism.

Friday Film Review: The Big Easy

JayneFilm ReviewsFriday Film Review / law-enforcement / New-Orleans / opposites attract32 Comments

The Big Easy (1987) Genre: Romantic Thriller Grade: B+ When this film was released over 20 years ago, I remember all the detractors and criticisms. No one from New Orleans talks this way.
