High Stakes Series by Christina C. Jones

December 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

Like a lot of readers, I spent 2020 looking for breezier reads but this gritty Las Vegas underground series unexpectedly took me in!

Audiobook Review: Delaney’s Desert Sheikh by Brenda Jackson

October 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

This is the first book in Jackson’s sprawling Westmoreland series and, even though it debuted in 2002, be warned it has some extremely dated and problematic elements. Namely… the sheikh thing.

Audiobook Review: Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

September 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

IDK why I keep trying with these Berkley books.  I really try to come at them with an open mind but by the time I got to the end of this one I was just annoyed with everybody. Real Men Knit probably has one of the best log lines of 2020: Four brothers begrudgingly comeRead the Post
