Review: A Winter Symphony – Tiffany Reisz

Review: A Winter Symphony – Tiffany Reisz

A Winter Symphony is a new story, but there was still comfort in being with Nora, King, Søren and Jules again. Reisz did it again. A Winter Symphony is a beautifully written story in The Original Sinners series, and I loved every second of every word of it! I read this in 2020, and as you all know, it was a year when I needed comfort. I definitely got that comfort reading about my favorite kinky characters. I feel like these characters have become a part of me – even if we would probably never meet if we lived in the same universe. A Winter Symphony is beautifully written, only Reisz can make it so that it reads like kinky […]

Review: The Forever Girl – Jill Shalvis

Review: The Forever Girl – Jill Shalvis

The Forever Girl is a feel-good romance of epic proportions. Between the friendships and unconventional family ties, and the evident chemistry between the protagonists, Shalvis hit the bull’s eye once more. One of the things I loved the most about The Forever Girl was the fact that the main characters had a very strong bond from spending one year together when they were in their late teens. In a way this impacted the overall plot, and specifically Maze’s feelings of not being adequate as a friend, sister or lover. As always, Shalvis managed to tie my heartstrings in knots, in the best way! And I really loved how Maze, Cat, Heather and Walker all had their demons to deal with […]

WTF Audible?

WTF Audible?

Is Audible stealing from their content creators to make their customers happy? Where will new content come from in the future if this is the case? I don’t know if I have been living under a rock lately, but I was only told about AudibleGate yesterday by Brandee. And I am incensed on behalf of authors and narrators. I did know that there was a return policy that is very different with Audible than any other company I have ever heard of. I have even used that to my advantage one time. That one time, it was for a good reason (IMO) when a narrator was in prison for something I could not condone, and the author of the series […]

Review: Forever Wild – K.A. Tucker

Review: Forever Wild – K.A. Tucker

Forever Wild brought me back to Alaska, to Calla and Jonah and their merry bunch of family and neighbors. Forever Wild is the perfect Christmas novella in my opinion. Calla and Jonah had family visiting for Christmas. Jonah’s mom and stepdad were there from Norway, and Calla’s mom and stepdad came from Toronto to celebrate with them. Forever Wild has a lot of humor, but it also has complicated family relationships, the still beautiful romance, and all the intricacies of neighbors who have become a new family of sorts. I loved how Calla and Jonah’s relationship has evolved since The Simple Wild, especially because in this story, they trust each other fully. They also know they can count on each […]
