A Congress of Roses by Melissa J. CaveEmpire of the Stars #4Fantasy RomanceMay 1, 2026- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela I happened upon this series while perusing through Kindle Unlimited offerings and decided to take a chance on an unknown to me author, simply because I was intrigued by the blurb. The first book in the series, Traitor Son, had me hooked and I immediately hit the read now button for Stardust Child, the second book in the Empire of the Stars series. And Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Eternity by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Eternity by Nalini Singh Guild Hunter #18Urban Fantasy RomanceMay 5, 2026, by BerkleyReview by Melanie I don't even know how to begin this review. An epic series with a finale that was so good and honestly, everything a fan of this series could have wanted. We got glimpses of most of the couples in this series but really, this was all about Elena and her beloved Archangel, Raphael. I don't want to give too much away but this book essentially spans a 100 years and also Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Eternity by Nalini Singh
Be sure to come back later today for Melanie's review. Archangel's Eternity by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #18Urban Fantasy RomanceMay 5, 2026- BerkleyARC Review by Angela I kind of thought the last book in the series, Archangel's Ascension, which had huge time jumps, closed out Aodhan and Illium's story arc, and featured Illium's ascension and the aftermath, would be the last book in this series. I was okay with that as readers finally got the love story they'd been waiting for Continue Reading
Review: The Sea Spinner by Julie Johnson
The Sea Spinner by Julie JohnsonReign of Remnants #2Fantasy RomanceApril 28, 2026- Ace Review by Angela I was a little on the fence about continuing this series. The first book was just so-so for me, as I really, REALLY did not care for the male main character and his attitude toward the heroine. If he was the love interest, I wasn't sure I could believe in any kind of HEA. You can read my review for The Wind Weaver here. I even mentioned that there was another character who I Continue Reading
Review: Stay for a Spell by Amy Coombe
Stay for a Spell by Amy CoombeFantasy RomancePublished April 14, 2026 by Ace Reviewed by Kate While reading the description for Stay for a Spell by Amy Coombe, you can be forgiven for thinking it sounds like many of the other cozy fantasy books that are out there right now. However, Stay for a Spell exceeded my expectations and was such a fun read. In Stay for a Spell, Tandy gets cursed and is stuck in a bookshop until she finds her heart’s desire. I will admit the most stressful Continue Reading
Review: The Paris Match by Kate Clayborn
The Paris Match by Kate ClaybornContemporary RomanceApril 7, 2026 by Berkley Review by Melanie Sometimes, it takes me longer to finish a book that I’m reading with my eyes, especially if the book is boring and not holding my attention. It took me a week to finish this book but let me be perfectly clear, that was not due to boredom. I parse out a Kate Clayborn book like my 15 yo parses out the pricey macarons from Ladurée, the famed French patisserie with its flagship store in Continue Reading
Review: The Somewhat Wicked Witch of Brigandale by C. M. Waggoner
The Somewhat Wicked Witch of Brigandale by C. M. WaggonerFantasyPublished on March 17, 2026 by AceReviewed by Kate The Somewhat Wicked Witch of Brigandale is a delightful short novel that plays around with fairytale tropes and manages to weave in commentary about democracy. Billed as cosy, it lives up to that expectation. Gretsella, the witch with the reasonable prices, comes home one day to discover a baby on her stoop. She decides to keep him, and she calls her coven together, Continue Reading
Review: This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
This Kingdome Will Not Kill Me by Ilona AndrewsMaggie the Undying #1FantasyMarch 31, 2026 by Tor BooksARC Review by Angela I'm not going to say this is the best thing Ilona Andrews has ever written, because I feel like I say that with every book, but I honestly think this may be way, way up there in the list of best things that they've written. As soon as this hit my Kindle I set aside everything else on my plate and dove in-- and didn't come up for air until I finished. And now I'm Continue Reading
Review: Still Into You by Erin Connor
Still Into You by Erin ConnorContemporary Romance February 10, 2026 by Forever Review by Melanie I had no idea what to expect when I started reading an ARC of this book as this was a new to me author (this is her second book and I fully plan to read her debut). What followed was a messy, complicated, second chance romance between the lead vocalist of one of metal’s biggest bands and a music journalist tasked with interviewing the band for its first interview in years. I have Continue Reading
