King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. ClairDark Fantasy11/30/2021 by Bloom BooksARC Review by Jen I’m on a roll with finding so many awesome books over the last few months. King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair has got to be in my top three, maybe top two? It was AMAZING!!!! I first found this author when her series, Hades X Persephone, blew up on TikTok. I enjoyed those books a lot, and this one was EVEN BETTER. Enemies to lovers, Vampires, arranged marriage…all my Continue Reading
Review: Fated Blades (Kinsmen #3) by Ilona Andrews
Fated Blades by Ilona AndrewsKinsmen #3Fantasy RomanceNovember 23, 2021, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review I just have to say bravo to the cover artist for this beautiful cover and how well matched it is to a certain pivotal scene. Fated Blades is part of the Kinsmen universe, one of this author duo's lesser-known series. Which is a shame because it, like all of their work, is beyond awesome. Who doesn't love warring space families with special powers Continue Reading
Review: Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday
Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday Contemporary Romance November 16, 2021 by Avon Reviewed by Kate Duke, Actually is an adorable follow-up to A Princess for Christmas. I will open with my main complaints, which are that I don’t love this cover (A Princess for Christmas is so much cuter) and I feel a better title would have been “Baron, Actually” but I do understand how that would not have been as enticing. And now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, we can start on my many Continue Reading
Review: All the Feels by Olivia Dade
All the Feels by Olivia DadeSpoiler Alert #2Contemporary RomanceNovember 16, 2021, by AvonARC Reviewer: Melinda Before I begin my full-on squeeing over this book, I need to add a disclaimer that Olivia is a complete auto-buy author for me. Once I read her self-published book, Teach Me, a few years ago I was all in and have never looked back. And beyond that, I consider Olivia a friend so you can consider that when reading this review for sure. Okay, but moving on to this actual Continue Reading

Review: The Naked Fisherman and The Lost Fisherman by Jewel E. Ann
The Naked Fisherman by Jewel E. AnnRomantic Comedy9/30/2021 Review by Jen The Naked Fisherman by Jewel E. Ann was the first book I have stayed up all night reading in a very long time. I tried to put it down around 1am and then powered through till 3:30am to finish it. I LOVED this duet!!! Reese is eighteen years old. She’s had some tough times. Her mom went to prison for growing marijuana, her parents divorced, her mom was locked up for five years, her dad died and she spent Continue Reading
Review: A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon
A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah WeatherspoonContemporary Romance10/26/2021 by Dafina BooksARC Review by Melanie I have always imagined that cowboy romances are not for me. I’m not a huge nature person, have never been big into horses and as such, just assumed that cowboys, as a romance hero archetype, wasn’t really my jam. It wasn’t until Rebekah Weatherspoon released the first book in her Cowboys of California series back in 2020 that I began to question that maybe under the right Continue Reading
Smexy Group Review: Archangel’s Light by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Light by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #14Paranormal Romance10/26/2021 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela, Melinda, and Melanie Angela: I remember a couple of years ago when Bluebell and Sparkle started having their spats and disagreements and there seemed to be something afoot with their relationship. Like this author was setting something up for later in the series for them to have this big, wonderful romance and I can tell you right now I was HERE FOR IT. Every review after that Continue Reading
Review: The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
The Charm Offensive by Allison Cochrun Contemporary Romance September 7, 2021 by Atria Reviewed by Melinda This book completely snuck up on me, I hadn’t really heard much about it, but I’m so glad that I picked it up randomly because it’s going on my favorites of 2021 list for sure! The premise of the book is simple enough - man goes on a reality dating show to make his image better for business purposes, will he find love? But what follows is the star of the show falling for his producer Continue Reading
Review: Heavy by Cate C. Wells
Heavy by Cate C. Wells Contemporary Romance September 15th, 2021, Self Published Reviewed by Melinda Cate C. Wells has this weird magic about her that makes me love a motorcycle club romance every single time and honestly, it confuses me, but I don’t question it at this point! One of the things I think she does so well is take at least one aspect of each book and make it slightly unusual for an MC romance and focus on it. I’ve read all of her books and each one does this so well. In Heavy, Continue Reading
