Angela’s Mid-Year Update: My Favorites of 2020 So Far

June 24, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

Cover of Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Contemporary Romance/WF The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- Enemies to lovers is not my favorite trope, but this book worked for me in almost every way. It made me laugh out loud so many times and it was so hard to put it down once I started reading, I even found myself sneak reading at work just to get back to it. I highly recommend if you are looking for a true romantic comedy. See my review here. Beach Read by Emily Henry- This book surprised me in a good way. It wasn't even on my radar Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Amanda Bouchet and Priscilla Oliveras

April 29, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Starbreaker by Amanda BouchetEndeavor #2Science Fiction RomanceApril 28, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Y'all. This was good. So, so good. Like grab you from the first page and keep you reading right up until the last page good. Like stay up until 2:30 in the morning good. (Yes, I did that.) I really enjoyed the first book in the series and was super excited for this next installment, but Ms. Bouchet takes this series to the next level in Starbreaker. For starters, the when the book Continue Reading

Smexy’s April TBR

April 2, 2020 by Angela 2 Comments

Angela- March felt like it was approximately 7,000 days long and I'm glad it's over. Here's to April and hopefully some great reading. Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped (The Guild Codex: Demonized #3) by Annette Marie 4/3 Urban Fantasy- I've enjoyed this author since discovering her through the KU program. This is a fun series and I'm looking forward to getting caught up with Robin and Zylas. Will they figure out how to free him from the pact they made? Will they take things to the next Continue Reading

Sheena’s Most Anticipated Reads for 2020

January 1, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

I for one am soooo READY to ring in the New Year and (yet again!) embark on my quest to vanquish my TBRs and devour the books I am eagerly anticipating. MY 2020 romance reading forecast promises to be full of contemporary gems, paranormal activity-and I am determined to mark my return, back to my beloved Historicals- my all time fav genre, which took a back seat for me in 2019. My eyeballs are READY: Road to Salvation, Trilogy by Jamie Begley (Last Riders)- Book 1, Gavin's Song is out Continue Reading

Review: Heart On Fire by Amanda Bouchet

January 3, 2018 by Sheena 3 Comments

Heart On Fire by Amanda Bouchet Series: The Kingmaker Chronicals, #3 Fantasy Romance Released: January 2, 2018 Piatkus Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Hate is an easier emotion to deal with than love. Hate is cold, with a strong, hard shell. Love is burning, with a thousand fragile cracks that lead straight to your soul.” Heart On Fire is book three in the Kingmaker Chronicles trilogy and I'm already trying to figure out how just onnnnneeeee more novel can fit in, I mean, who Continue Reading

Early Excerpt for Heart on Fire by Amanda Bouchet!!

November 14, 2017 by Mandi Leave a Comment

  The riveting conclusion to the Kingmaker Chronicles. GODS. I'M AN IDIOT. Without Griffin—and apparently a few meddling Gods—to push me along, I'd still be telling fortunes at the circus, lying about my past, ignoring my future, and living as far away from my tyrant mother as humanly possible. True understanding thuds into place. Hope isn't just an abstract concept; it's me. Flesh and blood me. Griffin knew it all along. Probably everyone did. I'm an idea in human form. I have Continue Reading

Review: Breath of Fire by Amanda Bouchet

January 2, 2017 by Mandi 3 Comments

Breath of Fire by Amanda Bouchet (Kingmaker Chronicles #2) Released: January 3, 2017 Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "I love you like a man insane." A Promise of Fire was one of my favorite reads last year and I'm so happy to say that the follow-up lived up to all of my expectations. I think it's best to read these in order - as this second book continues the story with the same hero and heroine. In the first book, Cat was kidnapped and Continue Reading

Below we have an exclusive excerpt from Breath of Fire - enjoy.   Waking up from a deep, healing sleep reminds me of rushing toward the surface of a lake, brightness beckoning from above and bubbles fizzing all around me.
