I'd been wanting to read BHB for a long time now as I'm a fan of the Smart Bitches Trashy Books website and especially the podcast (SPTB). It absolutely met my expectations: snarky observations, hilarious critique, and a deep love for the romance genre. It was so funny. I'm working on ways to add "h...
I read this book when I took a class on romance fiction in my graduate studies in library science. It explores the genre with both expertise and humor - not an easy trick. The authors, the bloggers behind the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books website, have a strong feminist stance. This book was extremely...
I need to write a longer review for this when I have time, but for now I'll just say that it was one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of reading, with delicious amounts of expletives and snark. This is a must-read for anyone concerned with romance, feminism, gender issues, and literatu...
I can handle some of the sub-genres, but as a whole romance doesn't work for me. Not just because of the books, but also because of some of its Special Snowflake fans who like to play victim about how the romance genre is persecuted, or prejudiced against, or whatever.

I really loved this book. It had so much humor I was laughing quite a bit. Never read a Cassie Edwards novel and don't plan to start one. I've read some of the reviews on the site and I'll stay far, far away! I also (I hope) have some smart comebacks to people who have a comment about what I rea...

Be proud. Be not ashamed of your love of romance novels. Go find this book. Now.For the full review, plea...
Absolute required reading for anyone who reads romance novels - especially hystericals (er, I mean, hisTORicals). These bitches are concise, snarky, HILARIOUS, smart and they really know their romance. Awesome read.
This book did not prove or show in any way how romance novels are smart, savvy or feminist - which I always thought was a damn tall order - although it did make a case for some of the authors of romance novels and definitely for the readers. None of that matters, however, for no matter how you feel ...
