Hey y'all.  This episode I'm going over Gone to the Dogs by Emily Carmichael with a fine-toothed flea and tick comb.  This one's notable for a hero who personifies Toxic Masculinity.  Hooray!  The one where I just talk to my cats instead of just looking things up on Google.  If this book had a theme song, it would be "I'm Gonna Buy Me a Dog" by Duke Robillard.  Because that's what the heroine should have done.

Gone to the Dogs by Emily Carmichael- Give me Mr. Sensitivity Any Day

I'm 90% convinced that puppy therapy could cure all society's ills.  The one where I discuss  "Demon Angel" by Meljean Brook, published by Penguin Books under the Berkley Sensations line.  In this episode, there's a lot of ranting about terrible decisions that were made at all levels, all the way up to a major publishing house.  Seriously, how could you do that to us the readers, Penguin Books?

Demon Angel by Meljean Brook- I need puppy therapy now

How much coug could a cougar coug if a cougar could coug cougs?  The one where I discuss  "Accidentally Catty" by Dakota Cassidy.  In this episode, there's some gentle interlude music, I get to play with pitches during the Dramatic Re-Enactment, and have way,  way too much fun lambasting the book.  It's a little bit quieter than previous episodes as I was trying to cut down on background noise.

Thanks, I'm hypertensive now.

Remember when Britney Spears dancing with a bemused snake was edgy?  Sandra Hill does, and in "A Very Virile Viking" she would like to remind us that she still has her thumb on what's hot with kids in 2003!  Although who am I to judge, I basically lived in a cardboard box and was just getting spun up on this whole "grunge" phase.  The one where I review "A Very Virile Viking" by Sandra Hill (not to be confused with "A Very Viral Viking") Intro lyrics by Robert Palmer, converted with  http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/  Outro lyrics by   Nadir "RedOne" Khayat and Lady Gaga, converted with  http://www.fromtexttospeech.com

If this book had a theme song, it would be "The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang.

My cats are creepy perverts.  I discuss my love of poison and make jokes about cannibalism.  There's no such thing as therapy for dragons.  This is what happens when I read romance novels. The one where I read and review "Eight Simple Rules for Dating a Dragon" by Kerrelyn Sparks.

If my life had a soundtrack, this episode would be "Creep" by Radiohead

The inaugural episode of Addicted to Romance reviews the 29th book in the Argeneau Vampires series, The Trouble with Vampires, by Lynsay Sands. Intro lyrics by Robert Palmer, converted with  http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/  Outro lyrics by   Nadir "RedOne" Khayat and Lady Gaga, converted with  http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/  (I know they're called nanobots, not nanobytes, please don't judge O_O )

The Trouble with Vampires by Lynsay Sands

The romance novel industry is estimated to account for about half of all paperback books sold in the US. With so many books on the market, some of them will be gems and some of them...not so much. Where I review romance novels and rate them on criteria such as the heroine's personal agency, floweriness of metaphors, and quality of tropes used.
