Review: All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth Stephens

June 4, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

All Superheroes Need PR by Elizabeth StephensSupers in the City #1Paranormal RomanceMay 27, 2025, by Montlake Review by Angela I've been a fan of Elizabeth Stephens for quite a while. I discovered her when I stumbled upon the Xiveri Mates series in Kindle Unlimited and devoured the whole series in a matter of weeks. So, I was super excited when I discovered that Montlake was publishing her all-new series featuring SUPERHEROES AND SUPER VILLIANS. All Superheroes Need PR is a fun, Continue Reading

Review: Beneath the Burning Sea by Amanda Bouchet

May 28, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Beneath the Burning Sea by Amanda BouchetKingmaker Chronicles #5Fantasy RomanceMay 27, 2025, by SourcebooksARC Review by Angela It's been a long time coming, but finally Bellanca and Carver's story is here! This world began in 2016 with Cat and Griffin. The original trilogy followed the same main characters and introduced this world of mythology and magic. I was satisfied with the wrap-up of the original plot arc, but did wonder if my beloved secondary characters would also receive Continue Reading

Review originally posted on 5/9/2019 by Angela. The Bride Test by Helen HoangThe Kiss Quotient #2Contemporary RomanceMay 7, 2019 by Berkley Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions—like grief. And love. He thinks he’s defective. His family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, Continue Reading

When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida KelleyLGBTQ+ Fantasy RomanceApril 29, 2025, by Erewhon BooksARC Review by Angela I think the first time this book hit my radar was when I was scrolling through social media and saw a post by the author. Everyone knows I'm a sucker for a beautiful cover, and this one is gorgeous. So, when I realized the author was also the illustrator, I knew I had to add this book to my TBR. When the Tides Held the Moon takes place in 1910 and Continue Reading

Review: The Wind Weaver by Julie Johnson

May 1, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Wind Weaver by Julie JohnsonReign of Remnants #1Fantasy RomanceApril 8, 2025- AceARC Review by Angela I may be at the point where I've read too many romantasy books this year. They all seem to be blurring together. I swear I read the blurb before I grabbed the ARC for review, but for some reason I thought there would be dragons in this book. Maybe because of the cover? I don't know. ANYWAY, The Wind Weaver doesn't have dragons, but it does have elemental powers, magic, Continue Reading

April 30, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Broken Souls and Bones by L.J. AndrewsStonegate #1Fantasy RomanceApril 29, 2025- Ace Review by Angela I discovered L.J. Andrews midway through 2024 and promptly devoured about 12 books in her backlist. I was eagerly anticipating an upcoming release in the Ever series when I heard that Berkley had signed Ms. Andrews to a contract and the book I was looking forward to would be delayed, but that there would also be a new series releasing and soon. So, I set out to acquire the first book Continue Reading

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily HenryContemporary RomanceApril 22, 2025 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela Anybody who knows my reading tastes knows I really enjoy anything Emily Henry writes. I will even admit to emailing this publisher about advanced reading copies when I couldn't find the ARC anywhere on the usual sites. So, when it finally hit my Kindle, I was overjoyed and eager to read. Great Big Beautiful Life is a romance sandwiched between the story of a powerful family. Continue Reading

Mini Reviews- Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes and Who Will Remember by C. S. Harris

April 17, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Cold Eternity by S.A. BarnesScience Fiction/HorrorApril 8, 2025 by Tor Nightfire Last year I received this author's second book for review and waited FOREVER to read it, then finally picked it up at the end of the year when I was in a bit of a book slump. I was so mad at myself for waiting so long. I immediately went to my Libby app to see what else was available by S.A. Barnes. So, when this book came up for review, I quickly hit that request button. All three of the books I've read Continue Reading

April 16, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Scorched Skies by E.J. MellowWay of Wings #1Fantasy RomanceApril 15, 2025- Montlake Review by Angela The cover for Scorched Skies caught my eye first, and since I've been reading A LOT of romantic fantasy lately, I decided to add it to my reading list. I've never read E.J. Mellow before, but I have seen other books by this author while searching and doing deals and new release posts, so I was excited to dive in. This is one of those books that I really, really wanted to like it more Continue Reading
