Review: A Strange Hymn by Laura Thalassa
I love the snark of the heroine and I’m still enchanted by the universe Thalassa has created with The Bargainer series. I wish I felt more invested in the characters, though.
Audiobook Review: Thrive by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Thrive is a full-length companion novel to the Addicted and Calloway Sisters series. I have a feeling I would have enjoyed it more had I read it in the suggested order. As it is, I skipped this one when I devoured the entire series a year ago, and since I was missing the characters I decided to go back and read this book.
Review: Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa
I don’t read much fantasy but I have to say that Rhapsodic is an intriguing story. It’s very complex and I’m enamored with the enigmatic hero, Desmond (aka The Bargainer or The King of the Night). I’m also drawn to Callie, a broken but resilient siren fueled by anger and lust.
Review: The Trade by Meghan Quinn
The Trade is one s-l-o-w burn romance. The flame between Cory and Natalie actually burns hot right from the very beginning, but due to a combination of insecurities, misunderstandings, and fears, neither wants to act on their feelings. The sexual tension goes on and on forever and it just about tortured me to death. When they finally get together, though, Cory and Natalie set the sheets on fire! What a payoff!
Audiobook Review: Ricochet by Krista & Becca Ritchie
I’m doing this backassward because I’ve already read the entire Addicted/Calloway Sisters series (I’m obsessed, okay?) but am only now reading this book. Ricochet bridges the gap between Addicted to You (book 1) and Addicted for Now (book 2). It spans the 90-day period that Lily and Lo are separated while Lo is in rehab for alcoholism and Lily seeks therapy for sex addiction.
Review: Walk Through Fire by Kristen Ashley
This book was rude and raunchy, but also deeply emotional. I lapped it up. Nobody depicts a well-rounded view of a life inside a motorcycle club – the loyalty among club members, the devotion to family, the rough edges, the danger, the treatment of women, the sex – quite like Kristen Ashley.
Review: Imperfect Match by Corinne Michaels & Melanie Harlow
This sweet read went down nice and easy, which is just what the doctor ordered in these turbulent times. Co-written by Corinne Michaels and Melanie Harlow, Imperfect Match shows what a great pair their make.
