The First Girl Child by Amy HarmonFantasyAugust 20, 2019 by 47NorthARC This was a very different book than the previous fantasy releases I've read by this author. I would say that I was expecting more of a romance based fantasy and what I got was more of an epic fantasy with romance woven in. Still overwhelmingly lovely and beautifully written, just not exactly what I was expecting. The First Girl Child is a story of love, power, greed, selflessness, and honor. When a young battle Continue Reading

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa DareGirl Meets Duke #3Historical RomanceAugust 13, 2019 by AvonARC Tessa Dare is one of my auto-buy historical romance authors. I don't even need to read a blurb or know what the book is about to put it on my TBR list. The Wallflower Wager is the third book in her Girl Meets Duke series and I absolutely adored the two previous installments. Lady Penelope Campion had a softness for animals. Gabe had no softness at all. The Wallflower Wager features Lady Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
The Right Swipe by Alisha RaiModern Love #1Contemporary RomanceAugust 6, 2019 by Avon ARC I love Alisha Rai romances. I love the diversity of her casts. I love that her main protagonists always have supportive and loving friends and family. I love that found families are frequently a theme within her stories. Her books are sex positive and feminist and filled with characters beautifully and perfectly flawed. Also, she can write the hell out of a sex scene. The Right Swipe had everything Continue Reading

Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLeanThe Bareknuckle Bastards #2Historical RomanceJuly 30, 2019 by AvonARC I loved this book. In every way. From the first word until the last had I heart eyes and a big ole smile on my face. My kindle copy has seven million highlights because Hattie and Whit had the most wonderful back and forth banter and I didn't want to forget a single word. Even the secondary characters are amazing. I think Nora, Hattie's sister of the heart, ride or die BFF, is one of my Continue Reading

One Fine Duke by Lenora BellSchool for Dukes #3Historical RomanceJuly 23, 2019 by AvonArc KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS This is probably my favorite book by this author, and I've been following her since her debut.

The heroine, Miss Mina Penny, is the ward of a spymaster and has lived a sheltered life in the countryside since the death of her parents (who were also spies) while in Continue Reading
