Love, Classified (Hallmark, 2022) Reviewed by Duck and Star
Friends, sometimes you watch a Hallmark movie and go, “Quacker-doodle doo! Hallmark was doing something super-ducking awesome here!” And that’s how it was with Love, Classified. I was so delighted that my quacks had that bubbly quality you get from a fine champagne. Continue reading

Just Add Romance (Hallmark) Reviewed by Duck and Star
Friends, sometimes a duck starts watching a Hallmark movie just to give it a five-minute “try,” fully expecting he’ll end up giving it the Flipper, but then he watches the whole ducking thing as easily as pondweed pie. That’s how it was with Just Add Romance. My beak-holes were firmly glued to the screen all… Continue reading

Paging Mr. Darcy (Loveuary by Hallmark) Reviewed by Duck and Star
Friends, as a humble duck, I have to admit, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice rocks my feathers. But what did I think about Paging Mr. Darcy, in which a serious literary scholar attends a Jane Austen conference as a keynote speaker and finds the whole event is filled with costumes, period dances, and a liaison… Continue reading

One Summer (Hallmark) Reviewed by Duck T.
Friends, occasionally a duck sees a movie that makes him quacker-cry so much that he needs to buy a new beak. One Summer is such a film. (New beak works perfectly, thanks.) The movie is about a family that is mourning the sudden loss of a beloved mother and wife, even though it was actually… Continue reading

Raise A Glass To Love (Hallmark) Reviewed By Duck T.
Friends, sometimes a duck sits in front of a movie and says, “I think this one’s going to get right up my beak-holes.” That’s what I said to myself at the start of Raise A Glass To Love. But alas, how wrong a feathered fellow can be! You see, Jenna (Laura Osnes) longs to be… Continue reading

Always Amore (Hallmark) Reviewed by Duck T.
Friends, sometimes a duck like me gets his feathers in a pickle because a protagonist is just too ducking resistant to change. Oh, don’t get me quacking about Autumn Reeser’s character Elizabeth in Always Amore who will not allow her late husband’s sadly failing restaurant to undergo even the tiniest Continue reading

Just My Type (Hallmark) Reviewed By Duck T.
Friends, is it just me, or is actor Bethany Joy Lenz super-ducking awesome in EVERYTHING? Bless her beak-holes because she really has screen presence, not to mention flipper-tickling doses of emotional depth as well as a talent for humor. Well, Just My Type, a Hallmark movie about a journalist and famous author falling in love,… Continue reading

Two Tickets to Paradise reviewed by Duck T.
Friends, flippers up for a movie where the characters actually sort things out! Is it just me, your goldfish-guzzling friend, who finds it irritating when things just “fall into place” between the romantic heroes without any quacking (or other communication) about everyone’s mistakes? Well, welcome to paradise because in Two Tickets to Paradise, the main… Continue reading

The Convenient Groom (Hallmark) Reviewed By Duck T.
Friends, at the beginning, I didn’t expect to like The Convenient Groom. A social media influencer who teaches people (NOT ducks) to differentiate between a “total beakbrain” and great dating material by examining, for instance, the coffee he orders? What a duck-splat, thought I …. Continue reading
About US
Welcome! I’m Star Tavares. I am queer and nonbinary, and I use they/them pronouns. My hubby Jake is LGBTQIA+ too. Our plush duck is called Duck and is super-ducking awesome. He likes to call himself an award-winning duck because we wrote a screenplay about him that won some awards, and who are we to argue?
The thing is, we used to publish in the romance genres, but after we came out, we thought romance didn’t want us anymore. But you know what, toots? We were wrong.
Now we’ve rebuilt our confidence and are back to living our Romancey Pants life, writing, reviewing romance movies, reading romance novels, and doing a whole lot of stretching. (Did I mention we’re getting older?)
Want to know more about Star’s writing credits? Under another name, Star has published romance stories, novels, and novellas with presses like Harper Collins and Cleis, and has won awards for their shorter works from the likes of Glimmer Train, Screencraft, and Narrative, where they also worked as an editor. More recently, Star’s nonfiction about gender identity has appeared in The New York Times and at Huffington Post Personal.
Since Jake, who is also a romance author, is starting to add more reviews here (along with Duck’s best frenemy Sir Mallard Jones) watch this space for more about him and his career.
