Sarah (82 KP) rated Prime Suspect: Tennison in TV
Jan 8, 2019
Great insight.
A great insight into the early days of Jane Tennison. As I watched the episodes of Prime Suspect when I was younger (and watching again now) I looked forward to watching this and I was not disappointed. An awesome series showing Jane's struggles to be identified as a great detective in a predominately male role.
Enjoyed it so much I have started watching Prime Suspect from the very beginning again.

Dec 22, 2021
Watched last night let's start off by talking about the creature itself dear lord what were they thinking evenof the acting in HD it looks terrible no money spent on the creature itself and less said the rhing that sticks out of it especially as reminds of male part of the body. At least it has a decent script let down by the effects and some of the acting

fantastic read
wow, omg what a fab book, I just couldn't put it down till I'd finished it, it was long into the night. I never knew what was going to happen throughout the book. I absolutely loved the characters, the male character was very well written and the female characters just made the story come alive. this book is a fantastic start to the series and I cant wait to read more.

OMG this book is just !! I couldn't put this book down, i read this book in one sitting. everything about this book is just perfect, amazing characters, lovely story, plenty of hot and steamy scenes. The male character is definitely swoon worthy. This is a fantastic romance read to start 2018. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Big, Bad Billionaire (Billionaire Fairy Tales #4) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the forth book in this series by this author. Another amazing story by this author. The characters are fantastic, powerful male meets innocent female. Even though this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone read. This story is very well written and will keep you hooked till the very end. I can't wait to read more from this series and from this author in the future.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Double Dose (Research & Desire, #4) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
Sorely disappointed in this book. I was hoping that maybe, just maybe I could escape the overbearing Alpha male trope. But alas I was sorely mistaken. From the very beginning Ari is a Alpha male through and through, and not in a good way. I am sure he was supposed to be dark and brooding, but I quickly lost patience with him. It was around the third time he picked Daphne up to carry her around that my mood turned sour and never sweetened. While Benjy was better, I found that, after a while, his playful antics seemed more childish than endearing.
I wanted to like this novel, but I just couldnt get behind it. The chemistry seemed forced and though it actually had an in depth plot, it wasnt one I could care about. The author does have a good writing style that flows easily. My problem was with the story itself, not the writing.

ClareR (5603 KP) rated Herland, the Yellow Wall-Paper, and Selected Writings in Books
Jun 6, 2018
This review is for Herland only!
This is lauded as being amongst the first feminist literature, and I'm sure it is - both now and at the time it was first published.
An all-female society is discovered in the middle of nowhere (I envisioned deepest, darkest South America, in the jungle somewhere) by three male explorers. They arrive with their male preconceptions, and two of them change their way of thinking for the better.
It's an idyllic life in Herland (the men's name for the country, not the women's - they never mention a name). There is someone in charge, but she's elected. No (or little) conflict, no crime, everyone does their share. Motherhood is sacred and limited to one child. They conceive magically, it seems, as there are no men, and all women share the parenting. It's idyllic all right!
A short little novella, and an easy, quick read. It's interesting to see what a woman in the early part of the twentieth century thought would be an idyllic society - and rather telling that men didn't actually feature in it at all!
