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

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

Love is a Rogue by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #1Historical RomanceOctober 27, 2020, by AvonARC I simply adored this author's last release and was very excited to get an early copy of this first book in her newest series.

Love is a Continue Reading

This is a privilege, Serovek, not a sacrifice." I've never made a secret of the fact that I am a Grace Draven fangirl and she continues to wow me with each new release. The Ippos King was originally serialized on her website, and then edited and released in ebook form in its entirety. I decided to forgo reading the Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Annabelle Greene and Bethany Bennett
The Vicar and the Rake by Annabelle GreeneSociety of Beasts #1LGBT Historical RomanceOctober 12, 2020 by Carina PressARC I'm always happy to try a debut author, especially in the historical romance genre, so when I spied the cover and read the blurb for The Vicar and the Rake I jumped on the chance to read an early copy. I think this was a strong debut. There was a lot to like about the characters, setting, and backstory of these once close friends who haven't seen each other in years. Continue Reading
Review: Black Sun (Between Earth and Sky #1) by Rebecca Roanhorse
Black Sun by Rebecca RoanhorseBetween Earth and Sky #1Epic FantasyOctober 13, 2020 by Gallery/Saga PressARC Favorite Quote: "A man with a destiny is a man who feels nothing," he whispered to himself. Rebecca Roanhorse is fast becoming an auto-buy, must-have author for me. If you haven't read her Sixth World series you should remedy that immediately. Black Sun is the first book in a new series and as soon as I saw the cover I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. I'm not quite sure Continue Reading
