10 kickass romance novel heroines you'll find in Kindle Unlimited (for now)

2/19/2021

Every time someone posts a kickass romance heroines list, you see the usual suspects. And there's nothing wrong with these physically strong, smart, tough heroines that grace the lists over and over again. But what about the heroines who are not exactly physically strong, but kickass nonetheless? And what about strong, smart, kickass heroines you can find in Kindle Unlimited? Well, THIS is the list for everyone who, like me, has stopped to ask those questions:

Sexy lumberjack/mountain man romances you WON'T want to miss

Yes I'm aware that Captain America is not a lumberjack or mountain man. But since this was maybe the hottest thing he's ever done, this is the GIF I chose. You're welcome. But anyhoo, the request I made on Monday for lumberjack/mountain man recs netted some VERY interesting results. (It also depleted my bank account a bit, but that's a tale for another day) Thought I'd share the results and give y'all some great lumberback/mountain man reads for #WeekendReads and #FridayReads. Note: I've also included the occasional forest ranger and wilderness guide on the list for your pleasure. Enjoy! Here they are:

Rock star romance where the hero ISN'T a manwhore or alpha jerkwad

11/20/2020

So, a while back, I put together a rock star romance list and got RIPPED A NEW ONE for one of my recommendations. (I stand by that recommendation, by the way--but if you're curious, check out the comments here.) Long-story-short, this reader was irritated that one of the books featured a rock star with addiction issues and a checkered sexual history (ahem)--and he wasn't very nice to his newest female employee. While I didn't agree with what this individual had to say (she wasn't very kind and didn't use her inside voice, that's for SURE), it did make me realize that manwhores and alpha jerkwads DO seem to show up a lot in rock star romances. BUT, as with anything else in life, there are exceptions, of course. So, with that in mind, here are my favorite rock star romances that do NOT feature a manwhore or alpha jerkwad lead. You're welcome:

BEST grumpy heroines in romance today

11/6/2020

I think I've made it fairly clear over the years that I'm a HUGE fan of  grumpy romance heroes--especially the "grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one" trope. But I got to thinking...what about the grumpy romance HEROINE? When is she going to get some love? You know, that heroine who is a good, likeable person at heart, but who is just OVER all the BS? The tired, put-upon, "been there, done that" heroine. I love that heroine! So, I went on a search (I searched far and wide, because these heroines are NOT as plentiful as the grumpy heroes) and came up with what I think is the best list of grumpy heroines in romance that you'll ever find. (If I do say so myself) Don't say I never gave you anything, OK? Happy reading:

I'm in a horrible book slump, y'all. I've lost count of the books I've DNF'd lately. And now I'm paralyzed by indecision and I'm not even sure what to pick out of my TBR pile. So, all I can do at this point to break the slump is to read a sure thing. That's right, I'm going to re-read books that I've loved to help get me out of this hole until I can find my next new great read. That said, here are the re-read favorites I'm considering. And, if you haven't read these, I suggest you get to your Kindles immediately and start 1-clicking. You might want to have these on file for when YOU find yourself in a horrible book slump:

What to read if you love romance novels AND Netflix's Cobra Kai

9/11/2020

First of all, I binge-watched this series in 2 days. It's that good. Whether you were a fan of the original 1984 movie, or you were a Gen X kid who wants to wallow in some good old nostalgia, this is the series for you. It also helps that it's funny, at times heart-warming, and incredibly well-written. The great writing alone should keep any youngsters who weren't even born when the original movie came out interested. So, that said, this post is a combo Cobra Kai review, and book recommendations list. 'Cause that's just how I roll. You're welcome. Here it goes:
