All Scot and Bothered by Kerrigan ByrneDevil You Know #2Historical RomanceSeptember 29, 2020, by St. Martin's PressARC Favorite Quote: Gratitude suffused her as she observed her friends. The fiercest and most fantastic relationships she'd cultivated over the years. They were her family, and she did, indeed, love them dearly. Kerrigan Byrne is an author who always seems to write stories that satisfy my reading wants and needs. I really, really enjoyed the first book in this series and Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update
Even though I have approximately seven thousand books on my ARC review spreadsheet at all times I still like to mix in books that I've purchased and have been languishing on my Kindle and Library books of whomever I'm currently glomming.

I'm almost done with both, so if you have suggestions of what to read next please let me know. Here's what I've Continue Reading

Review: Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews
Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy #5 Urban Fantasy Romance August 25, 2020 by Avon ARC Favorite Quote: "How did you even find me?""I will always find you," he said. "I told you, Catalina. I won't abandon you."He said it with complete sincerity, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He'd come for me. Even if the thing dragged me into the river, he would find it, kill it, and pull me out. If the Abyss took me into the Pit, Alessandro would follow and bring me out. Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Suzanne Park and Charlie Donlea
Loathe at First Sight by Suzanne ParkContemporary Romance/Women's FictionAugust 18, 2020 by AvonARC Maybe I read the blurb wrong, but I was kind of expecting an enemies to lovers romantic comedy when I requested this book for review. That is not what this book is, at least not the 25% I read. I'll be honest when I tell you that I didn't like any of these characters. Not a one. The main character, Melody Joo, is a woman working in the gaming industry and excited for the opportunity to Continue Reading

I'm having so much fun. The Veronica Speedwell Series: A Curious Beginning (A Veronica Continue Reading
