The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ KluneLGBT FantasyMarch 17, 2020 by Tor BooksARC Favorite Quote: "Hope?" Linus said stupidly."Hope," Mr. Parnassus repeated. "Because that is what we must give him, what we must give all of them. Hope and guidance and a place to call their own, a home where they can be who they are without fear of repercussion." I’ve seen TJ Klune talking about his new book with his new publisher on Twitter for awhile now. As soon as I read the blurb I knew I had to Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams and Love Hard by Nalini Singh
Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay AdamsBromance Book Club #2Contemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyMarch 10, 2020 by BerkleyARC I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a bit. Fun, sexy, and I really liked that it was the marriage in trouble trope. We've met both of the main protagonists before as they both appeared in book one. Braden Mack is a club owner and member of the Bromance Book Club and Liv is a pastry chef and Thea's sister. I wasn't a huge Liv fan in the last book, mainly Continue Reading
Smexy’s March TBR
Angela- Remember last month when I said I had a gazillion books to read this month? I was totally serious. For some reason a crap ton of great books release every March (which also happens to be my birthday month) and every March I overload myself on ARCs I simply must have. Here are just a few of the books I'm most anticipating this month. House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Mass 3/3 Fantasy- As soon as I found out this author was releasing a book in a new series I had to Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Book Reviews for books by Lisa Kleypas and Simone St. James
Chasing Cassandra is the sixth book in the Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas and I couldn't wait to read Tom and Cassandra's love story. From glancing at the ratings and reviews on Goodreads I think I'm the only reader in Romancelandia who didn't absolutely love this book. LOL. Not that I didn't enjoy my time spent reading, because I did, but it didn't blow me away. Tom and Cassandra meet by chance at her sister Poppy's wedding and it is lust at first sight for Tom. Cassandra on the other hand Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Suzanne Enoch and Mia Sosa
Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne EnochWild Wicked Highlanders #2Historical RomanceJanuary 28, 2020 by St. Martin's PressARC I really enjoyed the first book in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series and was more than ready to meet the woman who captured the roguish middle brother Aden's heart. This book started out slow for me, I struggled with the first several chapters. Aden was his usual charming, wicked self, and Miranda Harris, his future sister-in-law through marriage and the woman who Continue Reading

I will admit that I dove into this world Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Charlaine Harris and Tessa Bailey
Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa BaileyHot & Hammered #2Contemporary RomanceJanuary 14, 2020 by AvonARC I love the second chance/marriage in trouble trope when it's done well. Having enjoyed the first book in the series, Fix Her Up, I was intrigued to find out the next book would be about the married couple in the group of friends introduced. I couldn't wait until my ARC hit my Kindle. This was a very enjoyable read. I was hooked almost from the first word, but I couldn't tell if that Continue Reading
