Worth the Read?

Shani: ⭐

Bridget: ⭐ - if we DNFed books this would be ZERO STARS for Lassiter

Heroine Rating

Shani: 🍑🍑 - meh

Bridget: 🍑🍑

Hero Rating:

Shani: 🍆

Bridget: 🍆 - I loved Lassiter being sassy, and loving pop culture for the rest of the books, he feels like a completely different character in this book. Such a good opportunity for him to show her modern culture and life, and it just didn’t happen.

McDreamy to Mc Steamy:

Shani: McSNORE

Bridget: McBS

Classy to Nasty:

Shani:

Bridget: The best sex in the book was between (spoilers) Devina and Lash in the department store. We only got like 1 sex scene with Lassiter and it was a magical pussy / magic dick heals all trauma sitch.


Romance at a Glance Reviews Lassiter by J.R. Ward

Seriously?! Like have you seen the romance inside this romance novel? We read Lassiter by J.R. Ward, book 21 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. If you didn't know, we re-read books 1-11 on the podcast when we first started releasing books and... 

WTF IS HAPPENING?! 

We were not super optimistic going into the book, and we're sorry to say that we HATED IT! Come hang out with us as we discuss confounding things such as:  

  • The romance taking a backseat to everything else

  • Lassiter being TOTALLY different in this book

  • The timeline! We've said it before in our previous reviews of books 1 -11 but the timeline in these books makes no sense. It legit said it was 3 years since Lassiter dropped down? LIKE why put a number on it?

  • Wrath IYKYK if not, be prepared for spoilers

  • Devina - but why connect these series?

ANYWAYS, you can hear our righteous fury as we discuss all this and why we are sad to say, this is our last BDB forever.  

ALSO _ we wax poetic about Magic Mind again (BC DUH!) so if you want in on that sweet sweet juice that is helping us stress less and be WAY more productive, use our code ROMANCE20.
