Closed Off To You: Sexy. Naughty. Dirty.

Image
After binge-reading on crime fiction for the past several weeks, I needed a change because I’m starting to look at my work mates as serial killers plotting their next kill. So, this particular book is free on Amazon. It’s written by the same author whose YA books I have read in the past. Only this time, she uses a pen name. Closed Off To You  by Rachel S. Rose  is categorised as Women’s Fiction and Inspirational . So, yeah, I could use some inspirational reading to take my mind off the blood and gore of crime fiction. So I dive in. The first chapter has a Chick Lit vibe to it and it’s hilarious! It had me in stitches the entire chapter. Melissa is such an endearing character from the get go. She’s funny, self-deprecating, and exciting in a blundering kind of way. Cute. Then the story takes a sexy turn. The funny bits turn to naughty to very naughty to full on dirty. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. My jaw dropped to the filthy floor. I’m not...

Two Reviewers, One Book: The Winged Turban

Image
  Welcome to TWO REVIEWERS, ONE BOOK.  Once in a while, I invite a reviewer, a blogger, an author, or a random character to sit with me in this very comfortable couch and share our views (opposing or otherwise) on a chosen book that caught our fancy. My review partner for today is   Leisl Kaberry .  She’s the author of the Titanian Chronicles Series . The book that intrigued us is   ' The Winged Turban '  by  J oshua Grasso .

The portrait, it seems, has traveled through time to find her—and bring her back by any means necessary. For she can no longer be Beatrice of Saffredento, but a young woman who died two-hundred yea...

Episode 28: Conversations Over Milk & Cookies - Madeleine Holly-Rosing

Welcome to Episode 28 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja.  Hi, Kindle Ninja here. You know, the ninja who occasionally stalks authors and invites them to Conversations over Milk & Cookies.  What is this madness, you ask? It's my way of supporting  authors & publishers! We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in 140 characters.  Here, we'll see the funny side, silly side, dark side, and all other sides that these wonderful authors don't let show.  Today, I'm having a conversation with Madeleine Holly-Rosing , writer and creator of the Boston Metaphysical Society   Web Comic. Madeleine  is  running a  Kickstarter  campaign to print the 6th and final chapter of  Boston Metaphysical Society through November 6th. It's a great chance to g...
