Book Review: Snapped by Alexa Martin

October 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

Alexa Martin burst into the romance scene with Intercepted, a frothy pop-culture fueled heroine-centric romance about a biracial woman finding her way. I inhaled it. But each of the subsequent books in this series wowed me less and less. In this one Martin takes on racism and player pensions which feels out of step givenRead the Post

F/F Romance Mini Reviews

October 21, 2020 Leave a Comment

Something To Talk About by Meryl Wilsner This debut tells the slo-o-o-o-w burn romance between a Chinese-American showrunner in her 40s and her younger assistant. A Hollywood workplace romance with this kind of power dynamic may sound cringe but Wilsner navigates it effectively. Still, I could never fully engage with this one. I found theRead the Post

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. I do think Jackson handles the sheikh element somewhat deftly. The titular sheikh is of mixed ethnicity from a fictional Arabic and African countryRead the Post

Audiobook Review: An Honorable Seduction by Brenda Jackson

October 3, 2020 Leave a Comment

David “Flipper” Holloway is sent to the Florida Keys on a top secret undercover mission to prove Swan Jamison–the goddaughter of David’s boss–isn’t secretly committing treason in her jewelry store.  This is part of the New Westmoreland series, which follows the members of Bane Westmoreland’s SEAL team. This book is so cheesy but it’s gotRead the Post
