Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa BaileyHot & Hammered #2Contemporary RomanceJanuary 14, 2020 by AvonARC I love the second chance/marriage in trouble trope when it's done well. Having enjoyed the first book in the series, Fix Her Up, I was intrigued to find out the next book would be about the married couple in the group of friends introduced. I couldn't wait until my ARC hit my Kindle. This was a very enjoyable read. I was hooked almost from the first word, but I couldn't tell if that Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Joanna Shupe, Seanan McGuire, and Zoey Draven
I'm starting off 2020 with a bang and mini reviews for three fabulous books. Different genres, but all wonderful reads that I highly recommend. Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuireWayward Children #5YA FantasyJanuary 7, 2020 by Tor.comARC I really love this series. These aren't long reads, but each one touches on important issues and leaves the reader satisfied and eager for the next release.

Angela’s Favorites of 2019
I read approximately 150 books in 2019 and for the most part had a very enjoyable reading year. Looking back over my favorites I think this is the first time that I've had so many historical romances on my best of list and so few contemporary. Maybe it's because I just wasn't in the mood for contemporary, I have no idea. Historical Romance You can't go wrong with any of these historical romances. Any Old Diamonds is the first book in the Lilywhite Boys series and just like every Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for Books by Alexa Martin, Eva Leigh, and Nalini Singh
A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini SinghMystery/SuspenseDecember 3, 2019 by BerkleyARC Stepping into the mystery/suspense genre Nalini Singh introduces readers to the small town of Golden Cove, New Zealand and a newly widowed, classical pianist home again after a long absence. This is very much a character driven story as Ms. Singh slowly introduces all the inhabitants of this small town and the intricate, and sometimes messy, way they fit together.

Angela’s Minis- Historical Romance Reviews for Books by Kelly Bowen and Amalie Howard
Night of the Scoundrel by Kelly BowenDevil of Dover #3.5Historical RomanceNovember 26, 2019 by Forever YoursARC Honestly? I had no idea who the two main characters were in this novella when I requested it for review. I only knew that it was part of the Devil of Dover series and was by Kelly Bowen. Turns out King, the hero of Night of the Scoundrel, was the mysterious bad guy smuggler from the third book in the series, A Rogue by Night. And he is exactly the kind of sexy, dangerous, Continue Reading
Angela’s TBR Mini Reviews- Books by Kerrigan Byrne, Hailey Edwards, and Annette Marie
Slaying Monsters for the Feeble (Guild Codex: Demonized #2) by Annette Marie 11/1- I discovered this author on KU and have really enjoyed her writing. The Guild Codex: Demonized is actually a spin-off from the original series, Guild Codex: Spellbound. The main character of Demonized is introduced several books into the Spellbound series and I was hooked as soon as I met her on page. Now I think I enjoy her series even more than the original. I love the dynamics between Robin and her Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Mini Reviews: Books by Nina Bocci and Lyssa Kay Adams
The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay AdamsThe Bromance Book Club #1Contemporary RomanceNovember 5, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was a super cute, very original read. The premise of a group of men getting together to form a book club in order to understand the women in their lives better was compelling. This is also a second chance romance, which is my catnip. This couple is married, with twin girls, and are also dealing with frequent separations due to Gavin's job as a MLB player. There is Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Angel in a Devil’s Arms by Julie Anne Long
Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #2Historical RomanceOctober 29, 2019 by AvonARC I went into this book having already enjoyed the first book in the series, Lady Derring Takes a Lover, and excited to see Angelique Breedlove, the other proprietress of The Grand Palace on the Thames, finally meet a man worthy of her and find her happily ever after. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself positively enchanted almost from the moment Lucien Durand, Lord Bolt, walked Continue Reading
