Our friend Melinda @melindaedits, is here with a review for Finding Joy by Adriana Herrera, available now! This book is appropriately titled Finding Joy and the joy veritably leaps off the page at every turn. Desta comes to Ethiopia as an American aid worker, and his family had previously lived there when he was young. His connection to the country, the food, and the culture there was really beautiful to see throughout the book. I felt it at every turn and it was apparent that Hererra had Continue Reading
Review: The Marriage Game by Sara Desai
CW: death of sibling, discussion of secondary character’s relationship that included Intimate Partner Violence, ailing parent This is Desai’s debut, although she was previously published as Sarah Castille. She had some super sexy boxing series that I know I read at least one of those. I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I wasn’t sure if it would skew more women’s fiction than romance. For me it was a good blend of both. Layla, our female protagonist, is a little down on her Continue Reading
Excerpt: Just Like That by Cole McCade
Just Like That by Cole McCade is available now at all e-tailers. “Why are you attracted to me?” Fox asked. And Summer laughed. He laughed, quick and startled, a short light thing that made Fox think of mayflies startled into taking flight. Wide blue eyes darted to him, then away—very firmly away, Summer turning his head to stare across the grass, toward the stark cliff edge that led down the other side of the slope, into dense forest. His mouth pressed to his upraised shoulder, Continue Reading

Review: Hate Crush by Angelina M. Lopez
Our friend Melinda @melindaedits, is here with a review for Hate Crush by Angelina M. Lopez, out today. Princess Sofia, her female MC in Hate Crush, was introduced to us in Lopez's debut last year, Lush Money. I immediately liked Sofia. She seemed complicated and misunderstood and one of those MCs that the public and paparazzi love to hate when constantly in the public eye. And IRL as well as in books - I am always here for rooting for the underdog, especially when it's a vilified Continue Reading

A way for her to get her inheritance and me to get out from under Donovan's thumb. I didn't even like her. I wasn't supposed to daydream about getting her off. Or fantasize about the way she'd look riding me. Or wonder if she Continue Reading
