​ROMANTIC COMEDY

Publication date: 10/09/2018
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

There’s nothing really obnoxiously wrong with this book. But it’s supposed to be a rom com. The cover is super rom com-y, and it’s listed in the rom com category on Amazon. But there’s one big problem with this as a rom com.

It’s. Not. Funny.

The 9 type of romance heroes I HATE

Top 9 type of romance heroes I HATE
I’m not going to call out anyone specific here. The point of this post is not to shame any one particular character or author. I’m just listing out my biggest pet peeves with romance novel heroes today, and hey, if a few authors take note and decide not to write these guys into their stories, that’d be cool, too. (And just to be clear, these are not few-and-far-between romance heroes. These are guys I’ve seen in WAY too many romances.) So, without further ado, here are the top 9 romance heroes I want to see nut-punched. (Listed in no particular order)

10 Romance reads that prove life doesn’t end at 25
Ever get sick of all the heroes and heroines in romance who are just kids? I know I sure do. Sometimes I just want to read about mature heroes and heroines who have a little bit more mileage on them. (And I don’t mean that in a dirty way. Get your minds out of the gutter, people!) So, for all my fellow “mature” romance lovers out there (because we’re not old, damn it, we’re mature), here are some awesome romance reads that prove life doesn’t end after college. Enjoy!

​PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Publication date: 10/03/2018
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

Guest Review by mom, romance fanatic, and (someday) published author Summer Raines!

Halloween is right around the corner! If you’re in the mood for a slightly sexy ghost story, give this book a try. I started reading it around midnight because I couldn’t sleep. Big mistake. I realize I’m a pretty big chicken, but I had to stop reading until daylight. I got pretty spooked!

​PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Publication date: 10/02/2018
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

This is kind of a painful review for me to leave because I’ve read and enjoyed books by Eve Langlais and Milly Taiden before. The last thing I want to do is leave a less than glowy review for them. But…

All three of the stories in this anthology feature instalove. And it’s not just instalove, either, it’s the whole fated mate trope. If you’ve read any paranormal romance before you know what I’m talking about: big bad alpha shifter sees damsel in distress, realizes she’s his fated mate, falls ass-over-elbow in love with her, defends her to the death against all comers. It’s tried and true in PNR, and while I understand it, it’s gotten kind of old. Why can’t a shifter meet a nice girl, date her for a while, get to know her, THEN decide that she’s going to be his one and only mate for forever? Is that too much to ask?

I read male pregnancy romance...for you. You’re welcome.

I read male pregnancy romance...for you. You’re welcome.
I discovered that male pregnancy romance (yes, really) was an actual thing by complete accident. I was just scrolling along through Amazon, minding my own business, when POW...male pregnancy romance. I had so many questions!! I immediately took to our Facebook page and asked my friends if this was new to them, or if I’d just been an extremely sheltered reader. But they were just as shocked as I was! And the information I found online about the subject was less than satisfying. (And in some cases, it was downright freaky and disturbing) So, seeing no alternative, I downloaded the first male pregnancy romance I found and started reading. Why? Because by this time, all of our Facebook readers had the same questions I did, and I didn’t want to leave everyone hanging. That’s right: I read male pregnancy romance for y’all. You’re welcome.

​Now, let’s get down to it…
