Shipped by Angie HockmanContemporary RomanceJanuary 19, 2021 by Gallery As soon as I saw this book compared to both The Unhoneymooners and The Hating Game I knew I had to read. I can see the comparisons. Shipped is a mix of enemies to lovers and forced proximity trope. It wasn't quite as funny as The Unhoneymooners and not quite as angsty as The Hating Game, but for a debut author it's very good and I really enjoyed my time spent reading. The heroine of Shipped is Henley Evans and she Continue Reading

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?

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.

I'm very glad I did. When a Rogue Meets His Match features Messalina Greycourt, a beautiful, Continue Reading
