The Phantom Paragrapher

Review: Cancelled - Farrah Penn - March 2024 You ever get in those moods where you want to read something, but the books you keep picking up, just don't hold your interest, and then wham bam - third time lucky. You find a book that isn't just holding your interest but it's an amazing read and turns out to be a 5-star read. That was me on Saturday morning with Cancelled by Farrah Penn. I first tried a couple of thrillers on the Libby App and then clicked on this book and loved it. Imagine the movies Easy A and Saved and you will have Cancelled. The book starts with our main female Brynn being a flirting coach and a bit of a Cyrano De Bergerac as she helps people write the perfect flirting messages and she's great at it too. That is until at a Halloween party, she not only breaks up with her boyfriend but someone has taken a picture of a person in a banana suit giving a guy a BJ. The guy is Duncan who is the boyfriend of Brynn's ex-best friend Lenora. Brynn is innocen...

Taming Mr. Flirt, a sexy all-new standalone from A.M. Madden & Joanne Schwehm is LIVE! Taming Mr. Flirt by A.M. Madden & Joanne Schwehm Genre: Contemporary Romance Publishing Date: September 12th, 2017 Here’s a tip: never say never. It all started in a barn, rolling around in the hay with a hot brunette. When I hooked up at my best friend’s wedding with the bride’s best friend, I had hay in places it should never be. And how my bowtie ended up around my dick was an entirely different story. I’ll give you a minute to consider the possibilities. That first romp set the tone, and each sexual encounter with her that followed became more intense. The fact that all my fantastic orgasms were coming at the hand of one woman baffled me. A lifetime of observation taught me that monogamy equated to boredom. Variety was the spice of life, in and out of the bedroom. I enjoyed the company of a sexy, smart, confident woman. It was my kryptonite. I was a master flirt, and my ...

  Review: Operation Prom Date - Book #1 Tactics in Flirting Series - Cindi Masden - March 2017 With Prom finally coming up and her Senior Year ahead of her, Kate decides that this is her last chance to snag Mick - the star quarterback. Of course, Kate isn't one of the popular cheerleading girls. Operation Prom Date was one of those teen books that we see so often in the movies where the geek type girl or in Kate's case the girl who loves shows like Vampire Diaries and Arrow, so much she named her pet after Klaus. This reminded me of when I was five and was a big fan of The Little Mermaid and named my fish Flounder and cat Ariel. The other thing I loved about Kate was that she talked my talk with Shipping favorite stars and I loved the Arrow references as I am such an Oliver Queen girl. The thing is Kate doesn't know how to flirt or get Mick's attention in the way she needs and is running out of time. Enter Cooper Callahan. Cooper and Kate used ...
