Blood Heir by Ilona AndrewsKate Daniels World/Aurelia Ryder #1Urban FantasyJanuary 12, 2021 by NYLA Reviewed by Angela Favorite Quote: I opened my eyes. A fully human Derek stood right in front of me. His eyes were aglow, and he looked at me as if I were the thing he wanted most in the entire world. When this book first popped up as a serial on this author duo's blog I was beyond excited. But honestly? This is the one weekly serial that I haven't followed week after week, I kind of Continue Reading

Angela’s Favorites of 2020
Contemporary Romance: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- You know that feeling of frustration you get when you are reading a really great book and you are in the middle of a part where you can hardly take your eyes off the page because you need to know what happens next and suddenly life interrupts? That was me reading The Worts Best Man. I did not want to put it down and stuff kept happening that forced me to. Ugh. A fabulous mix of laugh out loud funny, sweet, and sexy. This book had it all Continue Reading
Angela’s TBR Update
I still have ARCs to read before the end of the year, but I also have a TON of books sitting on my TBR that I've really been looking forward to reading. So I decided to skip some of my must read books, and jump over to my massive TBR list. *All of the titles listed below are available on Kindle Unlimited I discovered Annette Marie's Guild Codex series when it was just Tori and her three mage BFFs fighting the bad guys.

Review: When a Rogue Meets His Match by Elizabeth Hoyt
When a Rogue Meets His Match by Elizabeth HoytGreycourt #2Historical RomanceDecember 1, 2020, by ForeverARC Reviewed by Angela I didn't love Not the Duke's Darling, the first book in the Greycourt series. Between all the plot threads, side stories, and backstories it was just A LOT. But I was intrigued by the Greycourt family and I really love this author, so I decided to give book two a go. I'm very glad I did. When a Rogue Meets His Match features Messalina Greycourt, a beautiful, Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Sun by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Sun by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #13PNR/ Urban Fantasy RomanceNovember 24, 2020, by Berkley ARC Reviewed by Angela I remembered being SO EXCITED when it was announced that Titus and Sharine, better known in this series as The Hummingbird, would be the featured couple in the next Guild Hunter novel. As much as I adore this author's Psy/Changeling series, I can't get enough of her Archangels and the world they live in. I simply adore The Guild Hunter world. The Hummingbird Continue Reading

Review: The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill
The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe NeillHistorical FantasyNovember 17, 2020, by BerkleyARCReview by Angela The cover for The Bright and Breaking Sea is what first caught my attention and led me to read the blurb and then actively inquiring about a review copy. I am 100% here for badass ship captains magically attuned to the sea. This book was quite unlike any I can remember reading. Sort of a fantasy historical adventure with a dash of romance. The main protagonists were introduced Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- A Stitch in Time and A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem
A Stitch in Time by Kelley ArmstrongThorne Manor #1Time Travel/Gothic RomanceOctober 13, 2020 by Subterranean PressARC I grabbed this book simply because the premise sounded interesting and it was written by Kelley Armstrong. The last time I picked up a Kelley Armstrong book it had werewolves and witches. A Stitch in Time is a lovely, gothic time-travel romance. This was such a nice, easy read. I mean yeah, there were ghosts and slips through time and a murder mystery to solve, but I Continue Reading
