Review: The Consequence of Loving Colton – Rachel Van Dyken

The Consequence of Loving Colton almost reads like a parody of NA romance, anything that can go wrong goes wrong, there are shenanigans and out there characters, and still, there’s some hotness and tension as well. I think I might have enjoyed The Consequence of Loving Colton more if it had been labeled as a parody, because I’m all for making fun of genres – even my favorite genres. However, this was really out there, and there was no real plot or story, just a whole lot of weird and sometimes very funny situations happening. Between Milo and Colton, there were so many misunderstandings and misconceptions I lost count after the first chapter. It was the epitome of people not […]

Review: Who’s Your Baby Daddy? (Vapid Vixens #3) – I. Ronik

Review: Who’s Your Baby Daddy? (Vapid Vixens #3) – I. Ronik

*I received a free ARC of Who’s Your Baby Daddy from I. Ronik Literature via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Who’s Your Baby Daddy had me howling with laughter – all the contemporary erotica tropes are poked fun at, and done very well! There is even a cool dream-sequence, where the follow-up is that the characters aren’t completely sure what is real and what is part of the dream. The story in Who’s Your Baby Daddy is pretty risqué, but never too much for my dear heart anyway. Roni is the perfect romance novel ditz, and Jas is more serious, but her wanting to have love and romance in her life is still part of the plot-line. And […]

Review: What She Didn’t Know (Vapid Vixens #1) – I. Ronik

Review: What She Didn’t Know (Vapid Vixens #1) – I. Ronik

*I received a free ARC of What She Didn’t Know from I. Ronik Literature via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* What She Didn’t’ Know is the perfect erotic romance parody! I am still howling with laughter, and I am going to have a very hard time choosing which quotes to share for this one – I’d rather just tell you all that if you enjoy erotica, this parody will have you laugh harder than a book has in ages.  I actually have six pages of highlights from only 36 pages of story! What She Didn’t Know is filled with most of the clichés romances and erotica sometimes abound with, and it made for hilarious reading. Cassie has been […]

Fifty Shames of Earl Grey (Fifty Shames #1) – Fanny Merkin aka Andrew Shaffer

Fifty Shames of Earl Grey (Fifty Shames #1) – Fanny Merkin aka Andrew Shaffer

*I received a free ARC of Fifty Shames of Earl Grey from DaCapo Press  via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* I read the first couple of chapters of Fifty Shames of Earl Grey when they were on Shaffer’s blog, and I found the writing to be hilarious! This whole book is fan-fricking-tastic. The snark goes from win to win, and I couldn’t read more than a few sentences at a time without laughing (sometimes, it was every single sentence). And the way it pokes fun at every thing in pop culture from literature to music to strange sexual fixations is way excellent.
