Some time ago, a thread popped up in one of my paranormal romance groups about PNR written by men. I was intrigued by this, having never read a romance novel written by a man (at least, that I knew to be a man). I know for a fact that the m/m women write is mostly … Continue reading I read a romance written by a man.
Highlander's Captive Highlander's Hope Highlander's Heart Highlander's Love Highlander's Desire There a certain tropes that I love so much that I actually hate almost every book with that trope because they're not done right. Usually when this comes up in conversation—and it does, often, because I host a bunch of writing shows—I'm talking about Secret … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Called By A Highlander (or, the problem with Time Travel)
Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 1) Reclaimed (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 2) I'm always apprehensive of Jaymin Eve. I first discovered her while I was researching for a spin-off of Candy For Demons in a college setting. At that point I knew 'academy' was a paranormal romance genre, and I'd read J.R. Ward's Black Dagger … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Shadow Beast Shifters
I've never written a year-in-review before, mostly because I've never done one before but also because they all blur together. I want to blame 2020, a.k.a. the Dumpsterfire That Never Ends, but it's me. I have no idea what I did and whether it was special or not. There are some big ones. I made … Continue reading Chloe Alice’s Year In Review: 2020

It was a romance book, but not in any of the subgenres I've mentioned in my blog or read often. I will not be marking the book in … Continue reading Proofreading is NOT optional
These Violent Delights I don't usually read book blurbs. If I know and like the author, I read the book. If it's a series, I scan the blurb enough to know which character it's about (sometimes) and read the book. If it's a recommendation, once the right keywords are dropped, I read the book. So … Continue reading Book Recommendation: These Violent Delights
A Shifter for Christmas (Shifter for the Holidays Book 1) HONEYNUGGETS Okay, as per usual, I'm in love with T.S. Joyce's latest release. I promise I'm not T.S. Joyce in disguise. I have my own shifter novels that are definitely not hers. The beautiful thing about reviewing Joyce's books is they're all so original that … Continue reading Book Recommendation: A Shifter For Christmas
Gift of the Beast: Holiday Starrs ALIEN CHRISTMAS ROMANCE I'm going to start with a warning: I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads. I know for a lot of reviewers, that's a good thing, but I'm not a book reviewer. I only post recommendations, and I only have time in my life to write … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Gift of the Beast
Just in case anyone is questioning this, I am not a recipe blogger. I don't have a story or any sort of insight to impart with this recipe. I just had some raspberries that needed to get used, and NaNoWriMo is starting soon. It's nice to have some sweeties on hand. That's also why this … Continue reading Recipes: Raspberry Lime Bars with Fake Coconut Streusel
Two Shots Down (Battle of the Bulls Book 1) Dead of Winter (Battle of the Bulls Book 2)Quickdraw Slow Burn (Battle of the Bulls Book 3) A little update to my site: I've changed Book Reviews to Book Recommendations. I'm not going to be doing bad reviews. This isn't something I just decided (it's tacky … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Battle of the Bulls
