Romance in Style (Hallmark, 2022) Reviewed by Duck and Star
Friends, we’ve been watching a duck of a lot of Hallmark movies recently, and you could argue that a few of them were activist! We love activist romance because our flippers are tickled by stories that build a better world. And Romance in Style does that in spades. Continue reading

Walking The Dog (Hallmark) Reviewed by Duck and Star
Seeing as they sometimes eat ducks, I’m not always a big fan of movies about dogs. (I mean, what the duck?! Really!) But I just had to make an exception for Walking The Dog, a super-ducking awesome Hallmark movie starring Jennifer Finnigan as Kristie and Sam Page as Keith. Also, I don’t think Gidget would… Continue reading

Betty’s Bad Luck In Love (Hallmark) Reviewed by Duck and Star T.
Duck: Friends, Star and I recently watched Betty’s Bad Luck In Love and found it more satisfying than a goldfish sandwich. Star: True! As a kid, Betty was cursed to always have terrible luck in love, and that’s exactly the story she’s living. Devastating things happen to her boyfriends! The kind of stuff that could… Continue reading

Snowed In With The Billionaire by Caroline Anderson, Audiobook Review by Duck T.
Friends, a duck like me always enjoys a good romance audiobook, and Snowed In With The Billionaire by Caroline Anderson did my beak-holes proud. I dived into this Harlequin Romance, hoping for a narrative filled with the passion of a double pondweed burger [ed. which is a good thing] and that’s just what I got. 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
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.
