This Chick Read: J.D. Robb’s Brotherhood in Death

I don’t even know what number book this is in the In Death series, and I don’t care.  I will always buy, borrow or steal a copy and read it as soon as it comes out!  Luckily, I didn’t have to steal a copy, I checked it out on my Overdrive library app.  Fans of Nora Roberts, aka J.D Robb, never have to Continue reading “This Chick Read: J.D. Robb’s Brotherhood in Death”

This Chick Read: You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz

I read this book in one eight hour sitting because I was down to the weekend before The Hot Chicks Who Read, my book club, were getting together to discuss this book.  Thankfully, my husband had the crud that’s been going around, and I was able to spend the entire day Continue reading “This Chick Read: You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz”

This Chick Read: All the Broken Places by Anise Eden

On the surface, All the Broken Places seems to be a paranormal romance, and it certainly has those elements.  The romance was key, but, I think the bigger story was Cate’s involvement with the MacGregor Group, and finding a place that she would fit in.  This book was about how our insecurities Continue reading “This Chick Read: All the Broken Places by Anise Eden”

This Chick Read: A Covert Affair by Katie Reus

This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning

I have eagerly anticipated this installment of the Fever series, as Mac and Barrons are two of my favorite fantasy romance characters.  Mac has grown away from the Barbie from the south stereotype who we met in volume one, evolving into a fighter trying to save humanity, and more importantly those she loves.  Barrons is still a grunting man-beast Continue reading “This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning”
