Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa BaileyBellinger Sisters #2Contemporary Romance3/1/2022, by Avon Review by Angela It Happened One Summer was one of my favorite books last year. When I tell you that I wanted Fox and Hannah's book desperately I'm not exaggerating. I would have done pretty much anything for an early copy. Which is why when it landed on my Kindle in October I dropped everything to read. And I was not disappointed. This is very much a determined bachelor bad boy turned Continue Reading

Review: After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne Long
After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #4Historical RomanceNovember 30, 2021, by AvonARC Review by Angela The fourth book in The Palace of Rogues series features an opposites attract, age-gap romance that has to be one of my favorite books by this author to date. After Dark with the Duke had me running a whole gamut of emotions, from happiness to heartbreak and everything in between. I loved every minute of it. Mariana Wylde shows up at The Grand Palace on the Continue Reading
Review: Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday
Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday Contemporary Romance November 16, 2021 by Avon Reviewed by Kate Duke, Actually is an adorable follow-up to A Princess for Christmas. I will open with my main complaints, which are that I don’t love this cover (A Princess for Christmas is so much cuter) and I feel a better title would have been “Baron, Actually” but I do understand how that would not have been as enticing. And now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, we can start on my many Continue Reading
Review: All the Feels by Olivia Dade
All the Feels by Olivia DadeSpoiler Alert #2Contemporary RomanceNovember 16, 2021, by AvonARC Reviewer: Melinda Before I begin my full-on squeeing over this book, I need to add a disclaimer that Olivia is a complete auto-buy author for me. Once I read her self-published book, Teach Me, a few years ago I was all in and have never looked back. And beyond that, I consider Olivia a friend so you can consider that when reading this review for sure. Okay, but moving on to this actual Continue Reading

The Devil's Own Duke by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #2Historical Romance09/28/2021 by AvonARC Review by Angela The second book in the Wallflowers vs. Rogues series by Lenora Bell, reminded me quite a bit of the first. A heroine who wants to do her own thing versus be stuck in a loveless marriage of convenience, a hero who is not a titled gentleman, and a story that was pretty low angst given the storyline. Henrietta (Hetty) needs to marry her father off so he can father an heir. Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- The Royals Next Door by Karina Halle and Battle Royal by Lucy Parker
The Royals Next Door by Karina HalleContemporary Romance08/31/21 by BerkleyARC This author is hit or miss for me, but I couldn't pass up a romantic comedy where the heroine's new neighbors are Meghan and Harry-inspired royals and her love interest is their bodyguard. That's just catnip for me as a reader. Piper Evans is a school teacher with a lot on her plate. When royalty moves in next door her life gets a whole lot more complicated.
