Musings of a Romance Author
For a change, I’ve gone for baseball college romance rather than football. It’s a familiar theme where the college jock needs to be tutored by the smart girl in order to pass and get picked for the draft. Heat and steam wise it’s mid levels because it takes time for them to take the leap. … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Dirty Curve” by Meagan Brandy
Maddox Brothers Book Two I've moved on quickly to the next Maddox Brothers book and it was so easy to read. I like the author's writing style, it flows so well without any jarring syntax that pulled me out of the book. I also loved Liis straight away. She’s a strong-willed character, a determined and … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Beautiful Redemption” by Jamie McGuire
The Four Horseman Book 1 Let me start by saying that if you have a serious intolerance of cases of Stockholm Syndrome then don’t even try this book. I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy a story about a woman who is taken captive by, and falls for, the first horseman of the apocalypse who … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Pestilence” by Laura Thalassa
Waylon University Book 2 I’m afraid this is a very short review, even for me, because the story doesn’t stand out. While the heat and steam levels are nice, there’s nothing else that gets the pulse going. Ryder Voss is the college football quarterback. He’s one of the guys. They like to have fun, place … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “I Bet You” by Ilsa Madden-Mills
A Court of Thorns and Roses Book 2 After freeing the Prythian courts from evil ruler Amarantha, the now immortal Feyre and Tamlin are back in the Spring Court. We are dumped with a load of backstory to fill in the gap between the end of the last book and this one, which I would … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “A Court of Mist and Fury” by Sarah J Maas
The Quicksilver Series Book 3 Warnings: Sexual assault Forced abortion The opening chapters are filled with more flashbacks mixed with real-time. The author loves this device to tell the story of Eric and Jane’s first meetings and early relationship, where Jane is running scared and continually trying to push Eric away. I moaned about the … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Love Trap” by Nicole French
Married to Magic Book 1 This is an intriguing fantasy premise that features some familiar elements from the real world, mixed with magic and fantastical animals. It’s a slow-burn romance, but there’s plenty of curiosity inspired in the opening chapters to spark the reader’s interest. Luella is the town healer, her magic has been hidden … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “A Deal with the Elf King” by Elise Kova
Maddox Brothers Book 1 After the angst and turmoil that was Abby and Travis, we move on to the rest of the Maddox brothers. First up is Trenton Maddox, a tattoo artist who dropped out of college following the death of his girlfriend in a car accident. He's been crushing on Camille Camlin, who works … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Beautiful Oblivion” by Jamie McGuire
A Court of Thorns and Roses Book One It took me quite a while to get into this book. It felt like something was missing and I still can’t identify what. There’s lots of short scenes that at first don’t appear to add much to the plot at all. It was all very superficial and … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J Maas
The Quicksilver Series Book 2 The story opens straight after Eric left Jane at the altar. I never understood why Jane’s dad, the head of a secret society of powerful men, cared about stopping one of his fellow society members from marrying his daughter. A daughter he never had anything to do with during her … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Kiss Plot” by Nicole French
