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: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder by Ally Carter
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder by Ally CarterKiss, Merry, Kill #2Holiday Mystery RomanceOctober 13, 2026 by AvonARC Review by Angela As soon this ARC hit my Kindle I started reading and did not come up for air until I had finished. I'm not usually a holiday romance reader, but I might become one if Ally Carter keeps writing these Christmasy murder mysteries with kissing. While this series is labeled as the second book in the Kiss, Merry, Kill series, it's only connected Continue Reading
Review: The Thief and the Traitor Bride by V. L. Bovalino
The Thief and the Traitor Bride by V. L. BovalinoThe Hand and the Heart #2Fantasy RomanceSeptember 29, 2026 by ForeverARC Review by Angela I was so happy to be back in this world after loving the first book in The Hand and the Heart series, The Second Death of Locke, so much. The Thief and the Traitor Bride starts out a bit slower, at least for me it did, but I was soon drawn into this tale of estranged spouses, one a thief and one a spy, who are drawn together again for a Continue Reading
Review: The Stolen Crown by L.J. Andrews
The Stolen Crown by L.J. AndrewsThe Ever Seas #4Fantasy RomanceOctober 6, 2026 by Ace ARC Review by Angela I actually discovered this author when I happened upon her backlist on Kindle Unlimited. I read the Ever King first and then realized there was a whole nine book series, The Broken Kingdoms, about the parents of the main characters and set-up both the worldbuilding and conflict. So, I dove into to that series, inhaled all nine books and began the wait for the second book, The Continue Reading
Review: Wolftamer by Maggie Rapier
Wolftamer by Maggie RapierThe Magpie and the Wolf Duology #2Fantasy RomancePublished August 25, 2026 by AceARC Review by Angela I enjoyed the first book in this duology quite a bit. Pirates! Magic! Gods and sea monsters! Lost islands! And the cover art had me hunting down a physical copy for my library. When the follow-up came up for review I smashed that request button. Wolftamer begins right where Soulgazer left off, with the now married Saoirse and Foalan trapped on the Continue Reading
Review: The Hocus Pocus Handbook by Ann Aguirre
The Hocus Pocus Handbook by Ann AguirreCozy Fantasy Romance Published September 1, 2026 by SourcebooksARC Review by Angela I liked the premise of this book when I read the blurb, and the cover gave off cozy vibes, so I went for it and requested this for review. I will admit that this book was a real struggle to get through, the pacing was very slow, and I found myself picking it up, and then putting it back down after a few pages. I kind of feel like I was dropped into an already Continue Reading
Review: Stay Buried by Jennifer McMahon
Stay Buried by Jennifer McMahonHorror/SupernaturalAugust 11, 2026 by Gallery BooksARC Review by Angela If you've read any of Jennifer McMahon's backlist, then you know that this author tells her dark supernatural stories through alternating timelines and revolving POVs. Stay Buried is no different, we have two timelines- March 1919 and October 2016, but there are three narrators- Frankie in 1919 and Mini and Ashley in 2016. I promise it's not as confusing as it sounds. This is Continue Reading
Review: A Wolfe in the Woods by Zoey Draven and Marcio Catalano
A Wolfe in the Woods by Zoey Draven and Marcio CatalanoParanormal RomanceJuly 28, 2026- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I want to preface this review by saying that I am a huge Zoey Draven fan, and have read almost her entire backlist. I frequently hit up her website to check on her writing status for upcoming books. I was kind of surprised by this release, and especially that it was a collaboration. But hey, A Little Red Riding Hood retelling with a grumpy Lycan? Sign me up. A Continue Reading
Review: Ravenous by Kresley Cole
Ravenous by Kresley ColeImmortals Untold #1Fantasy RomanceJuly 28, 2026 by Bloom BooksARC Review by Angela Even though I'm STILL waiting for some kind of resolution to the Immortals After Dark series, I mean I am keeping hope alive that eventually Furie, Nix, and Kristoff will get at least a HEA, I have a Kresley Cole addiction, which means I IMMEDIATELY wanted to get my hands on a copy of Ravenous as soon as it was announced. Did I care that this would be all new characters? Continue Reading
Mini Reviews: The Feywild Job by C.L. Polk and The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston
The Feywild Job by C.L. PolkLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceJune 30, 2026 by Random House WorldsARC When I read the blurb for The Feywild Job I was intrigued and liked the idea of a second chance cozy fantasy romance with heists and con jobs. I will also admit to being taken in by the cover. This was a fun book, I'm not a huge fan of the D&D world, but I enjoyed it, nonetheless. It does start out rather slow, building the character's backstories and the main character's previous Continue Reading
