Fated Blades by Ilona AndrewsKinsmen #3Fantasy RomanceNovember 23, 2021, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review I just have to say bravo to the cover artist for this beautiful cover and how well matched it is to a certain pivotal scene. Fated Blades is part of the Kinsmen universe, one of this author duo's lesser-known series. Which is a shame because it, like all of their work, is beyond awesome. Who doesn't love warring space families with special powers Continue Reading

Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week.

When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading

Review: The Devil’s Own Duke by Lenora Bell
The Devil's Own Duke by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #2Historical Romance09/28/2021 by AvonARC Review by Angela The second book in the Wallflowers vs. Rogues series by Lenora Bell, reminded me quite a bit of the first. A heroine who wants to do her own thing versus be stuck in a loveless marriage of convenience, a hero who is not a titled gentleman, and a story that was pretty low angst given the storyline. Henrietta (Hetty) needs to marry her father off so he can father an heir. Continue Reading

The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana BillerHistorical RomanceOctober 12, 2021, by St, Martin's ARC Review by Angela I am a big fan of historical romance when it's mixed with some mystery and suspense, I'm an even bigger fan of historical romances with mysteries when they have some gothic, ghostly elements.

Under the Whispering Door by TJ KluneLGBT Contemporary FantasySeptember 21, 2021, by Tor BooksARCReview by Angela Last year's The House in the Cerulean Sea was a warm, wonderful, gentle embrace with the softest romance and I positively adored it. My anticipation for Under the Whispering Door couldn't have been higher, I'm writing this review in May if that tells you anything. And I have to say I enjoyed it just as much, for different reasons, but still had that feeling of comfort when I read Continue Reading
