Of Sword & Silver by January BellA Conqueror's Kingdom #1FantasyKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I've enjoyed this author's science fiction romances, which are available on Kindle Unlimited. So, I was pretty excited to learn she was dipping her toes into the fantasy genre with a new series. Of Sword & Silver is pretty ambitious-- with a feisty, misunderstood heroine, a mysterious male main protagonist, and worldbuilding with extensive gods, goddess, and historical Continue Reading

Retro Review: Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt
Review originally posted in May of 2016 at Fiction Vixen by Angela. The tenth book in the Maiden Lane series featuring the dastardly, vain Duke of Montgomery has been eagerly anticipated by this reader. I’m always a bit intrigued by the anti-hero and how an author will ultimately redeem him. Or if they can get me to believe their redemption and emotional connection to that one special person who makes them want to become better. There certainly hasn’t been a man who fits the role of Continue Reading

Retro Review: Entreat Me by Grace Draven
Review originally posted in November 2014 as a What To Read Wednesday post at Fiction Vixen by Angela. A couple of weeks ago I featured Master of Crows on a WTRW post.

Review: Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey
Fangirl Down by Tessa BaileyBig Shots #1Contemporary RomanceFebruary 13, 2024- AvonARC Review by Angela Look- I love me some Tessa Bailey dirty talking heroes, AND I'm always up for a sports romance, but even I side eyed the premise that this book featured the bad boy of golf. If I'm being honest, golf and bad boys aren't something that usually go together in my mind. Regardless, I hit that request button as soon as it became available for review. Fangirl Down introduces Wells Continue Reading

With the escape of Vesper and Kyrion Caldaren, he's now the leader of the Continue Reading
