Author of Cold Snap and other upcoming M/M dark romances.
I want to preface this review by saying this was a good book. Hell, I love KJ Charles’ writing style so much; I love this author’s talent for storytelling with a passion. So though I have complaints, only one of them is what I would consider a ‘flaw’. … More Book Review: The Henchmen of Zenda
Should you leave a review when you didn’t like a book? Do critical reviews help the author by pumping up the review numbers, or do they hurt them, especially when they’ve got so few reviews that a critical review would significantly drag their rating down? … More Why I Don’t Leave Bad Book Reviews
Thomas Brook is a dull man. I’m not being mean, I swear. One of the first things we learn about him is that he considers himself to be quite dull indeed. … More “The Marquess of Gorsewall Manor” LGBT Book Review
Those of you who have accounts on Goodreads.com are likely aware of their reading challenges.
