Instalove, Because I Said So, and Frozen

Karin Kallmaker 07/07/2019 Because I Said So, Book News 0 Comments

How Frozen, Absolutes, Instalove Tropes, and all the rest that made the brain soup that cooked into Because I Said So. Also, #MarvElsa

Both MCs and the small community of secondary cast are really good (I wish they existed and invited me to dinner, there’s a lot of food in this book and it all sounds yummy)...

My Lady Lipstick at Les Rêveur

Web Sprite 06/07/2018 My Lady Lipstick 0 Comments

…The star of the show was Paris, I finished the book with a rather big crush on her. She was quiet, sweet and a little butch with a big heart. Honestly, she was the whole delicious package.

This is a romance novel with a lot of thoughtfulness behind it, one that showcases real, internal struggles instead of a sequence of external obstacles neatly resolved before the happy ending.

Both characters are expertly drawn and easy to love. I appreciated that Kallmaker made one a wonderfully complex and relatable butch.
