Three solar months later, when Celene receives intel on the man who built the device, she’s ready to get the bastard.

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Welcome or should I say Howdy! Yes you’ve heard right this week in our new edition of The Good-The-Bad-and-the-Are-You-Kidding-Me? we’ll be talking about cowboy covers! We’ll be honest this post was inspired by Susi’s cowboy addiction of the week. Let’s say she’s been gobbling down Lorelei James books and I fear we’ve lost her to the Cowboy-Fever *wink*
So what makes a good Wild Wild West cover? We aren’t sure but while we thought about it we came up with some genre tropes that cover artist love to use. Some book would actually fit more than one trope but we choose the most fitting one. So buckle up ladies and come take a ride with us. Yeehaaa!
1 The Hat
What would a cowboy be without a Stetson to accompany the tough as nails look.
Caro: I really like the Maya Banks cover, it’s pretty and not overdone. On the other hand we have …
The Good The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Welcome to our new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This is the place where we let our shallow side rules and we do judge books by their covers (ok we’re just judging the covers but still!!). This week’s theme came from the cover reveal of Playing to Win. Pervs Admirers of the male body that we are, we couldn’t help but start discussing how easily a man chest on a cover can turn from super sexy to very disturbing. Here’s the result of our little bit of research 😉 I know man chest on covers are not universally loved so it’ll be a good excuse to discuss the topic!
Disclaimer: We were THIS close to using all the cover in the Play by Play series, because let’s be honest they rock! But we’ve been good girls and we kept looking for other covers. *await the head-patting* *purrs* …

Fortune or Free Will?
This has been a question humans have been struggling with since…well, since we developed the capacity to think beyond basic survival. Who hasn’t wondered whether or not the choices we make actually influence our lives, or if, somewhere, our destiny is already written?
In some ways, it’s comforting to think that our fates were decided the moment we were born (or even earlier). It takes away the burden of regret. If something was meant to happen, or it …
