Norwegian secondary school teacher, Geek and reading enthusiast. Married with two cats. Mother of little boy, born in February 2018. Cannonball-veteran. Loves fantasy, romance and YA. Pretty much hates Modernist lit and stream of consciousness writing, yet married a man whose favourite book is James Joyce's Ulysses, so there you go. Strongly opinionated about many things.

Malin's Reviews:

A retired football player and a bossy virgin find love in Texas

July 31, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

The ridiculously named Bobby Tom Denton was Chicago Stars’ famous quarterback until he sustained a career ending knee injury. Now he’s unsure of what he’s going to do with his life, and deeply frustrated about it. When the tenacious and bossy Gracie Snow turns up on his doorstep and announces she’s going to escort him to his hometown Telarosa (formerly Heaven) in Texas to start shooting the action movie he agreed to star in. Gracie’s spent most of her life living a sheltered existence, working […]

The world started upside down. I’m just trying to set it right side up.

6 stars, or A++ I’m not kidding, you guys. It’s that good! Disclaimer! I got an ARC of this through NetGalley, in return for a fair and unbiased review. I would also like to point out that I pre-ordered this book as soon as I could, so all the ARC did was save me another four interminable days of waiting to read the book. As for unbiased, I don’t know if I can ever be unbiased where it comes to Courtney Milan, because I love her writing […]
