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

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

Audiobook Review: Cowboy Untamed by Vicki Lewis Thompson

September 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

When I started listening to this book in late March I was just getting used to working from home. We were going into lockdown and I found myself spending less time in my car where I did most of my audiobook listening. I wanted something short and light that I didn’t have to get too investedRead the Post

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

Audiobook Review: Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

September 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

Literally the day after I finished this review I discovered Emma Chase is being sued by Pamela Dumond for copyright. I don’t have the legal knowledge to know if this is valid or not but I wanted to note it. When Prince Nicholas of Wessco strolls drunkenly into New Yorker Olivia Hammond’s coffee shop, her life isRead the Post
