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. In Come Tumbling Down readers are reintroduced to Jack and Jill Wolcott, who we first met Continue Reading
Kini’s Most Anticipated Reads 2020
First I want to mention that almost all of the books that I am excited about are from traditional publishers because they typically release information about new books several months in advance. If you are indie or self publishing a book, we would love to know about it sooner rather than later so we can get it on our radar! Our request form does not require an ARC. Second, most of these books are from the first half of 2020, with a few from the second half as publishing hasn’t released much Continue Reading

Review: Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
Let’s just get this out of the way, I really enjoyed it and I think it is going to end up on a lot of best of/favorites of 2019, including my own. I went into this book with minimal expectations as I haven’t read any of Talia’s recent works. It was very good. Not a ton of fluff that wasn’t relevant to the story. To quote myself from a tweet from the other night when I was talking about this book “The story is solid. The chemistry is amazing. The emotions are off the 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
Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: The Blacksmith Queen by GA Aiken and Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews
The Blacksmith Queen by GA AikenThe Scarred Earth Saga #1Fantasy RomanceAugust 27, 2019 by KensingtonARC The Blacksmith Queen was just what I needed last week. If you are familiar with GA Aiken/Shelly Laurenston then you know how much humor and zaniness are packed into her storytelling. Her over the top characters, the wonderful, sometimes bloody and violent, yet loyal extended family, the broad, interesting worldbuilding, and the fierce women who are the center of everything. THIS IS BOOK Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Amy Harmon, Hailey Edwards, and Lorraine Heath
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
Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts
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
