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

Angela’s Minis- Book Reviews for books by Lisa Kleypas and Simone St. James
Chasing Cassandra is the sixth book in the Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas and I couldn't wait to read Tom and Cassandra's love story. From glancing at the ratings and reviews on Goodreads I think I'm the only reader in Romancelandia who didn't absolutely love this book. LOL. Not that I didn't enjoy my time spent reading, because I did, but it didn't blow me away. Tom and Cassandra meet by chance at her sister Poppy's wedding and it is lust at first sight for Tom. Cassandra on the other hand Continue Reading

Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne EnochWild Wicked Highlanders #2Historical RomanceJanuary 28, 2020 by St. Martin's PressARC I really enjoyed the first book in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series and was more than ready to meet the woman who captured the roguish middle brother Aden's heart. This book started out slow for me, I struggled with the first several chapters. Aden was his usual charming, wicked self, and Miranda Harris, his future sister-in-law through marriage and the woman who Continue Reading

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.

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
