Review: Doe and the Wolf (Furry United Coalition #5) – Eve Langlais

Review: Doe and the Wolf (Furry United Coalition #5) – Eve Langlais

Eve Langlais always manages to make me laugh with her awesome humor, quirky characters and crazy shifters, and Doe and the Wolf is no exception to that rule. Everett is such a goofy wolf it’s impossible not to love him, and Dawn is pretty tough and salacious under that shy demeanor she hides behind. After Everett was fired from FUC, he became a bounty hunter with his friend Tom, the sleuth. That right there shows some of the humor, right? A quick read, Doe and the Wolf manged to entertain me, and to keep my mind off my upcoming exams with ease. Between the improbable situations both Dawn and Everett found themselves in, the creepy monster-gecko and the fact that […]

Review: Fair Play (It Happened at the Fair #2) – Deeanne Gist

Review: Fair Play (It Happened at the Fair #2) – Deeanne Gist

*I received a free ARC of Fair Play from Howard Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Fair Play is a great fictional story about a female doctor in Chicago in 1893. The prejudices against women are very strong, and I thought that the story really made the point very well about how much women in those times had to work in order to be taken seriously. Billy has to work twice as hard, and she is definitely used to that. When she started her university to become a doctor, there weren’t many other women with her, but she managed to finish top of her class, and work in several well-renowned hospitals before she went to Chicago to […]

Armchair BEA 2014 – Author Interaction and More than Just Words

Armchair BEA 2014 – Author Interaction and More than Just Words

Welcome to my 2nd Armchair BEA 2014 post! Today, we are discussing two topics as well, and both of them are pretty neat 🙂 Author Interaction Author interactions are always really exciting to me, both if I get a tweet and even more so if I am able to meet an author for real. Living in Europe, it frankly doesn’t happen very often that I meet authors for real, but I have had the chance to meet Diana Gabaldon, she was at the Brooklyn Bookfair in September 2011. I am pretty sure I have a picture of me with her somewhere, but I am not able to put my hands on it right now. I got her to sign one […]

Review: Back to Buckhorn (Buckhorn Brothers #7) – Lori Foster

Review: Back to Buckhorn (Buckhorn Brothers #7) – Lori Foster

*I received a free ARC of Back to Buckhorn from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Back to Buckhorn is an enticing, exciting and very sweet contemporary romance, where the two main characters had a secret crush on each other in high-school, but neither of them acted on it back then! However, when Zoey comes back to Buckhorn, Garrett and not his sister Amber, is the one to pick her up at the airport. Sporting the most awful look she could have imagined – a small child vomited on her just before landing – Zoey wished he wouldn’t recognize her at all – but no such luck. Their relationship progresses rather quickly, but in the kind […]
