Message in a bottle
“Fur For All” by Christine Warren
“Hello? Pappy?”
*crackle of the telephone line* “Who is this?”
“It’s Sheri! Hi Pappy how are you?”

“Politically Incorrect: Stalked” by Jaid Black
Whatever you think about Jaid Black, I got to admit that her books make for compulsive reading. I read some of the stuff that’s on the page and I swear to God, my jaw’s hanging so low that Juan could grow some petunias in my mouth. (He could also do maybe some more interesting stuff instead but it’s summer and my boy really loves his gardening.) So though I can’t say that I even really like all of Jaid Black’s books, I gotta give her props. The lady has chutzpah to write some of the things she does.

Fun with Dicks and Jane
“Nicholas: The Lords of Satyr” by Elizabeth Amber
I’m pretty sure the saying as “randy as a goat” has been parried about on this website once or twice before but it has never more been more appropriate than in relation to the Lords of Satyr series since you know, the heroes are mystical half man, half goat beings. Lola and I seem to have strayed rather far from our usual serving of werewolves, werejaguars, werepanthers (and such other exotic and dangerous animals) to that of the almost, every day zoo/circus/ (and now) farm variety. I worry for the day that one of us stumble upon a half man, half mosquito book; notwithstanding the fact that Mozzie Man would no doubt be some sort of vampire hybrid with an impressive stinger.
Don’t mess with the Micah
“Maverick” by Lora Leigh
Dear Diary,
I am sitting here hiding in Mimi’s closet.
Mimi’s scary freaky ass closet that doubles up as a shrine to her serial killer idols, because this is surely the one place that Sheridan will never think to look for me. Sheridan, who is after me because I used the last of the cold water taking a shower after reading “Maverick,” and so now she is left with having to rub ice cubes over herself instead, because of “Bound to Please.” Personally, I think five showers is too excessive, but arguing with a girl who practices taibo is never a good idea.

A reviewer’s prayer
“The Blackmail Baby” by Penny Jordan
Before I lay me down to sleep
And lie awake and count them sheep
Something off my chest I must confess!
That has me scratching my head in excess! -
I don’t know what it is with authors and their love of shift-1
Because it realy makes reading their books a lot less fun
Take for example, this latest book
Which had an exclamation mark in almost every nook!
Hard enough a time I had getting over the names of the characters
“Imogen” and “Dracco” sound like the names of the poor children of silly Hollywood actors!
Truly, a little uninspired I was about this latest read
(I totally should have gone out with the girls intead for some mead!)
I like my heroes evolved
“Dementia” by Jaid Black
I know y’all think we here at RMB have a way with words, a certain flair for describing our thoughts towards the books we read in a witty, yet unfailingly erudite fashion.
And so not wanting to let you down, let me now summarize my thoughts upon reading the e-book “Dementia” by Jaid Black.
Aaiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!

Strawberry fields forever
“Bound to Please” by Lilli Feisty
So after reading “Bound to Please”, I had to take my fourth shower in 2 hours. And as I let the icy cold water wash over my body and as I lathered myself with a frozen bar of soap (we keep a ready supply of those in the freezer for days/books like this), I thought about how I ended up reading this book - this book filled with ropes, S&M, bad wigs, candle wax, public sex, a remote vibrator and a strawberry. Think ye that one of these things are not like the other? Think ye that one of these things just doesn’t belong? Tsk. Clearly you are new to this website.
I’m a survivor I’m gonna make it
“The Vampire’s Bride” by Gena Showalter
On an island somewhere in the South Pacific…
*AWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Oh oh eh ah oh eh ah…*
*Lola, Sheridan and Mimi are perched on little tree stumps surrounded by tiki torches. Lola inspects her chipped glittery manicure with dismay and Sheridan looks sympathetically at Mimi’s split ends.*
Jeff Probst: Ladies.
