Marthese reviews The Tchaikovsky Affair by Marie Swift
“She’d been utterly transfixed by the brunette practically making love to her cello” The Tchaikovsky Affair by Marie Swift is a romantic novella about two musicians in the New York Philharmonic orchestra. It starts more like a romantic comedy then evolves more towards drama but in between there is a lot of fluff and probablyRead More
Marthese reviews The Housing Crisis by Kate McLay

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Hot Line by Alison Grey
Before reading Hot Line, I hadn’t looked into the premise of the book. I just knew it was an erotic novella. From the first page, I could guess that the premise would be different from most romance novels/erotica stories I’ve read. (Which is great, because the thing I like least about romance/erotica novels is theRead More

Danika reviews Fireflies by Lacey Reah
I had all these notes written down about Fireflies and I lost them! Sigh. I’ll just do a short form review, then. Pros: I adore this cover. This is probably my favourite cover ever. I’m not sure why, but I just think the art is fantastic, and it’s sexual without being creepy. Also, it actuallyRead More
Danika reviews The Voting Booth After Dark by Vanessa Libertad Garcia
This book is a little difficult to review, because it’s not a novel. It doesn’t have a plot. It’s a collection of fragments, snippets, of different people’s lives.
