So Flocked by Sarah EstepContemporary RomanceOctober 26, 2023Self Published Review by Melanie Discovering a new-to-me author always delights me especially when their authorial voice works for me. I discovered Sarah Estep’s debut, Keyed Up, earlier this year and it was a true rom-com, witty and sharp and full of sexual tension between two incredibly likable MCs. I was hooked by her writing style and when she announced the next book in her Brunch Bros series, it quickly became one of my Continue Reading

Audio Review: Empire of the Vampire By Jay Kristoff
Empire of the Vampire by Jay KristoffDark FantasyMacmillan AudioSeptember14, 2021 Review by Jen I started a new gig and we’re moving, too! Things have been busy and I haven’t read as much as I would normally like. But, this book was absolutely addicting and I just had to share. A little history, my book pipeline went from Harry Potter to Twilight to all things Anne Rice, then Black Dagger Brotherhood…which I eventually just had to give up on. THERE’S JUST SO DAMN MANY IN THAT Continue Reading
Review: Once a Rogue by Allie Therin
Once a Rogue by Allie Therin Roaring Twenties Magic #2LGBTQ+, Historical Paranormal RomanceAug 22, 2023- Carina Press Review by Kate H. I really resist romance books which are series that center on the same relationship. And when it’s been over a year since I read the previous books, I am always dubious that I will stitch myself back into the feelings, and the narrative. But without a doubt, I was sucked back within a minute of starting Allie Therin’s Once a Rogue, the sequel Continue Reading

Audio Review: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin
The Ferryman by Justin CroninDystopian Science FictionRandom House AudioMay 2, 2023 Review by Jen A friend recommended The Ferryman by Justin Cronin and while SciFi isn’t my normal go to read, I was intrigued. I’m SO glad I gave this a listen. I’m still thinking about it, working through the twists and turns in my head. I can’t get into the story too much, because so much of the fun is the surprises that happen towards the end of the book. The gist is Continue Reading
Review: With Love, from Cold World by Alicia Thompson
With Love, from Cold World by Alicia ThompsonLGBTQ Contemporary RomanceAugust 1, 2023- BerkleyARC Review by Angela I almost didn't read this book, mainly because every time the cover popped up I read cold war instead of cold world and it kept throwing me off. Also, let's be honest, it's always chancy going into a book by a new-to-you author that also has a cutesy cover. I'm glad I finally picked it up, because not reading this lovely enemies to lovers, workplace romance would have Continue Reading
Review: Reluctant Renegade by Garrett Leigh
Reluctant Renegade by Garrett LeighJuly 12, 2023- Fox Love PressLGBTQ+ Contemporary Romance Review by Kate H. When I saw that the 5th book in the Rebel King’s series was coming out so soon after the 4th, I was a little bit nervous. But I guess some people are just that talented. Reluctant Renegade is the love story of Decoy and Folk, both former British military, but very different men. Unbeknownst to the rest of the Rebel Kings MC, they had met briefly during their Continue Reading

How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #6Historical RomanceJuly 25, 2023- AvonARC Review by Angela Ahhhh, I loved this book. So much. Apparently, I'm a sucker for morally grey, charming heroes, and competent yet emotionally bruised heroines in historical romance. How to Tame a Wild Rogue, the latest installment in The Palace of Rogues series introduces Lady Daphne Worth, a woman fast running out of options, and Lorcan St. Leger a man who pulled himself out Continue Reading
