Queen of Lombard Street by Lisa KleypasHistorical RomanceOctober 20, 2026 by AvonARC Review by Angela As a huge fan of Lisa Kleypas, I was beyond excited to see a new release in 2026. Queen of Lombard Street is different from her other books, part romance and part historical fiction, it tells the story of Reina Martin, a woman who rose above the circumstances of her birth to become one of England's greatest minds, an economist and banker. When I tell you I LOVED this book. It had Continue Reading
Review: Who Needs Mistletoe? by Sarah Estep
Who Needs Mistletoe? by Sarah EstepContemporary Holiday RomanceSeptember 29, 2026 by Entangled Review by Melanie I’ve long been a fan of Sarah Estep since I discovered her debut novel three years ago (you can check out the review for Keyed Up here) and her latest, a small-town, girl next door holiday romance is just as charming and delightful as you would expect from her. This is the book version of a Hallmark holiday movie…if that movie had multiple sexy times scenes, Continue Reading

Review originally published 9/24/2018 by me. Phoenix Unbound by Grace DravenFallen Empire #1Fantasy RomanceSeptember 25, 2018 by Ace Favorite Quote: “Stay with me, Gilene,” he whispered in her ear.“I can’t,” she murmured, still half asleep.“I will conquer all of the Empire to bring you back.” This was probably my most anticipated book this year. If you were to ask me to make a list of my favorite fantasy romances of all time, Grace Draven would have four or five titles Continue Reading
Retro Review: A Dangerous Proposal by Jillian Eaton
Review originally posted September 6, 2017 by Mandi. A Dangerous Proposal by Jillian Eaton (Bow Street Brides #2)Released: July 25, 2017Historical RomanceSelf Published I’m loving Jillian Eaton’s voice. The first book in this series, A Dangerous Seduction was a really fun read, and this one met all of my expectations as well. A few things to note: First, the heroine in this book was raped a few years prior to this book starting. It’s briefly relived in a flashback Continue Reading

One Night Wife by Ainslie PatonContemporary RomanceMay 17, 2018Entangled Favorite Quote: “Are you scared I’m going to bolt?” “I’m scared you’re going to eclipse the sun.” Cal Sherwood, you keep saying things like that, you are so getting kissed.

Mini Reviews: Game of Rogues by Julie Anne Long and
Game of Rogues by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues, #9Historical RomanceJune 6, 2026 by AvonARC I'm not exaggerating when I say that Julie Anne Long can do no wrong in my eyes, and The Palace of Rogues one of my all-time favorite series in the historical romance genre. Every time I pick up a new release, I'm convinced that THIS ONE is my new favorite and she couldn't possibly out-do herself, and every time I'm proven wrong by the next book in the series. Her writing is fun, and Continue Reading
Review: Game of Rogues by Julie Anne Long
Game of Rogues by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #9Historical Romance June 2, 2026 by Avon Review by Melanie Julie Anne Long’s The Palace of Rogues series has delivered one banger after another and the latest entry is no different. One of the reasons I love this series more than her Pennyroyal Green series is because even though the other series features two actual families, this series gives us a true sense of home and found family within the walls of the Grand Palace on the Continue Reading
Review: The Dove and the Rogue by Harper St. George
The Dove and the Rogue by Harper St. GeorgeThe Doves of New York #3Historical Romance May 26, 2026- self-published Review by Melanie I’ve long been a Harper St. George fan, ever since the cover of The Heiress Gets a Duke caught my eyes. While I was super excited for her most recent series, The Doves of New York, I must admit that the first two books, traditionally published through Berkley, did not captivate me. The premise had potential but the pacing was off and I wanted more Continue Reading

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
