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
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

Early Excerpt for Heart on Fire by Amanda Bouchet!!
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

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
