Review originally posted in August of 2015 on Fiction Vixen by Angela. A Taste of Heaven by Penny WatsonContemporary RomanceSeptember 15, 2015- Self Published I’ve always enjoyed Penny Watson’s books, they make me smile and laugh and are always original. But I have to say, I think this is my favorite of them all. When she mentioned on Twitter a few months back that she was writing a romance with older characters I was pretty excited. Even though I am a fan of some NA books, Continue Reading

Tori’s Top Books for 2015
2015 was a strange year both personally and professionally. So many good books were published but not a lot wowed me. I know what you’re thinking- ”Dude, you have 24 books listed.” This is true. But I read over 300 new to me books this year, so this doesn’t even represent 10% of what I have read. MATH FTW!! Plus, it’s hard for me to pick. Unless I DNF, there is some aspect I enjoy about every book I read from the ‘wow this is fantastic’ 5 star reads to the ‘what the fresh hell was THAT’ 1 star Continue Reading

The Alpha-Hole Hero. Hot or Not?
A few weeks ago I reviewed Sweetened with a Kiss by Lexxie Callahan and in the review I referred to the hero as an ‘alpha-hole.’ To me, an alpha-hole hero is one that is very alpha and also an asshole. It’s his way or no way (of course the heroine always gets her way at the end) This hero goes above and beyond being arrogant and possessive. I feel an alpha-hole hero can be a believable romantic hero as long as there is proper redemption on his part. To me, an alpha-hole is not necessary a Continue Reading
