Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Amy Harmon, Hailey Edwards, and Lorraine Heath

August 20, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

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

August 6, 2019 by Angela 4 Comments

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

Fix Her Up by Tessa BaileyHot and Hammered #1Contemporary RomanceJune 11, 2019 by AvonARC KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I can't remember why I set this aside a few weeks ago. Maybe it just wasn't grabbing me at the time or something else had all my attention. But this time when I picked it up I read it straight through to the end and really enjoyed. I have always been a big fan of the brother's best friend trope, throw in a hot has been baseball player who can't stop talking dirty during Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts: Kingdom of Exiles and Her Other Secret

June 25, 2019 by Angela Leave a Comment

Kingdom of Exiles by Maxym M. MartineauThe Beast Charmer #1Fantasy RomanceJune 25, 2019 by Sourcebooks Casablanca KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I love the concept of this series. Whomever described it as "Assassin's Creed meets Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was spot on. The heroine is an exiled Beast Charmer and the hero is an assassin who is hired to kill her. They team up instead, (or do they?) when Leena barters four of her beasts in exchange for her life. This was a good, Continue Reading

Angela Tuesday Thoughts- May Historical Romance Edition

May 28, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

A Rogue in the Night by Kelly BowenThe Devils of Dover #3May 28, 2019 by Forever KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS If you've read the first two books in this series you will definitely remember Sir Harland Hayward. Brother to Clara and Rose, who is both a Baron and a doctor... and apparently a smuggler as well. His heroine is Katherine Wright. Daughter to a local smuggling family and a damn fine surgeon. Harland and Katherine kind of crash into each other one night when she is patching up her Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts- Red, White & Royal Blue and Bridal Boot Camp

May 21, 2019 by Angela 3 Comments

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuistonLGBT Contemporary RomanceMay 14, 2019 by St. Martin's Griffin KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I loved this book. LOVED. I loved the snark and quirky main (and secondary) characters and the enemies to lovers and the heartfelt emails sent back and forth with their beautiful historical quotes and the sex in well known settings. I loved how the author managed to make this couple's relationship and the worldbuilding feel fresh and new even though the Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts- Finishing up the Men of Haven Series

April 16, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

Stand & Deliver (Men of Haven #5)- Live hard, f*ck harder and make their own rules. Those are the cornerstones the six Men of Haven bleed by, taking what they want, always watching each other’s backs and loving the women they claim with unyielding tenderness and fierce Security expert Beckett Tate has met his match in colleague Gia Sinclair. He longs to run his hands over each and every one of her lush curves. She’s wicked smart and wicked hot. He’s given her time to get used to the idea Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts- The TBR Update

April 9, 2019 by Angela 4 Comments

Hosed (Happy Cat #1) by Pippa Grant and Lili Vanlente- I love Pippa Grant, but I haven't read anything she's written with a writing partner. This one started out slow for me, but the more I read, the more I got into it. It has the signature Pippa Grant zaniness with a sweet romance. There is a small town feel to it complete with nosy neighbors gossiping and everyone knowing everything about everyone's business. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Final Grade- B- America's Continue Reading
