A Dark and Stormy Knight by Kerrigan ByrneVictorian Rebels #7Historical RomanceJune 2, 2020 Self PublishedARC Kerrigan Byrne quickly jumped onto my auto-buy list the moment I read the first book in the Victorian Rebels series, The Highwayman. I was with Fiction Vixen back then, so I went back through Goodreads and read my review and I was positively gushing with praise and adoration for this author's words. Jump to five years later and I still look forward to every one of Ms. Byrne's Continue Reading
Smexy’s June TBR
Angela- I have so many books on my TBR list this month I've been itching to read. 2020 might be a shit year so far, but some great books have been released. A Dark and Stormy Knight (Victorian Rebels #7) by Kerrigan Byrne 6/2 Historical Romance- Kerrigan Byrne is self-publishing Carlton Morley's book and I am so thankful. I don't think this series would have been complete without it. Dragon Unleashed (Fallen Empire #2) by Grace Draven 6/9 Fantasy Romance- I have been a long time Grace Continue Reading
Review: Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik
Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik Consortium Rebellion #3 Science Fiction Romance May 19, 2020 by Harper Voyager ARC For some reason I didn't realize this series was only a trilogy and Chaos Reigning was the very last book until about halfway in. I'm sure I'd read about that somewhere earlier, but it just didn't register. Now I'm all like NOOOOOOO, give me more! As much as I enjoyed the first book in the series, Polaris Rising, and Ada and her sexy as hell man Loch, I think this might be my Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Sajni Patel, K.J. Charles, and Kwana Jackson
The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni PatelContemporary RomanceMay 12, 2020 by ForeverARC I don't normally do this, but I did read Kini's review before I began writing mine. I was curious what her thoughts were and it appears we had a lot of the same issues with this book. She is spot on with her content warnings... mentions of past sexual abuse, rape, and trauma as well as emotional abuse and slut shaming that had me turning Kindle pages angrily. It was a lot, and I wasn't quite expecting Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler and Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan
The Tourist Attraction by Sarah MorgenthalerMoose Springs, Alaska #1Contemporary RomanceMay 5, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC I think it was the grumpy hero in the blurb that clinched the deal for me as far as snapping up this book for review. I was expecting a fun, easy read and that's exactly what I got. The Tourist Attraction is the book equivalent of a Hallmark movie. Beautiful small town touristy setting, quirky characters, a couple of "awww" inducing pets for comic relief, and a Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Amanda Bouchet and Priscilla Oliveras
Starbreaker by Amanda BouchetEndeavor #2Science Fiction RomanceApril 28, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Y'all. This was good. So, so good. Like grab you from the first page and keep you reading right up until the last page good. Like stay up until 2:30 in the morning good. (Yes, I did that.) I really enjoyed the first book in the series and was super excited for this next installment, but Ms. Bouchet takes this series to the next level in Starbreaker. For starters, the when the book Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Alisha Rai and Julia Quinn
Girl Gone Viral by Alisha RaiModern Love #2Contemporary RomanceApril 21, 2020 by AvonARCBefore we get into this review I need to make it clear that if you saw the cutesy cartoon cover and thought this might be a romantic comedy, you'd be wrong and I don't want you to be disappointed. There is some heavy subject matter in Girl Gone Viral... PTSD, past trauma, mention of kidnapping, anxiety and panic attacks, and invasion of privacy online. But there is also a hot bodyguard who is secretly in love Continue Reading

Smexy’s April TBR
Angela- March felt like it was approximately 7,000 days long and I'm glad it's over. Here's to April and hopefully some great reading. Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped (The Guild Codex: Demonized #3) by Annette Marie 4/3 Urban Fantasy- I've enjoyed this author since discovering her through the KU program. This is a fun series and I'm looking forward to getting caught up with Robin and Zylas. Will they figure out how to free him from the pact they made? Will they take things to the next Continue Reading
Review: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ KluneLGBT FantasyMarch 17, 2020 by Tor BooksARC Favorite Quote: "Hope?" Linus said stupidly."Hope," Mr. Parnassus repeated. "Because that is what we must give him, what we must give all of them. Hope and guidance and a place to call their own, a home where they can be who they are without fear of repercussion." I’ve seen TJ Klune talking about his new book with his new publisher on Twitter for awhile now. As soon as I read the blurb I knew I had to Continue Reading
