A Wolfe in the Woods by Zoey Draven and Marcio CatalanoParanormal RomanceJuly 28, 2026- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I want to preface this review by saying that I am a huge Zoey Draven fan, and have read almost her entire backlist. I frequently hit up her website to check on her writing status for upcoming books. I was kind of surprised by this release, and especially that it was a collaboration. But hey, A Little Red Riding Hood retelling with a grumpy Lycan? Sign me up. A Continue Reading
Review: Ravenous by Kresley Cole
Ravenous by Kresley ColeImmortals Untold #1Fantasy RomanceJuly 28, 2026 by Bloom BooksARC Review by Angela Even though I'm STILL waiting for some kind of resolution to the Immortals After Dark series, I mean I am keeping hope alive that eventually Furie, Nix, and Kristoff will get at least a HEA, I have a Kresley Cole addiction, which means I IMMEDIATELY wanted to get my hands on a copy of Ravenous as soon as it was announced. Did I care that this would be all new characters? Continue Reading
Mini Reviews: The Feywild Job by C.L. Polk and The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston
The Feywild Job by C.L. PolkLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceJune 30, 2026 by Random House WorldsARC When I read the blurb for The Feywild Job I was intrigued and liked the idea of a second chance cozy fantasy romance with heists and con jobs. I will also admit to being taken in by the cover. This was a fun book, I'm not a huge fan of the D&D world, but I enjoyed it, nonetheless. It does start out rather slow, building the character's backstories and the main character's previous Continue Reading
Mini Review: In the Wake of the Ruined by Kalie Cassidy and Only Spell Deep by Ava Morgyn
In the Wake of the Ruined by Kalie CassidyThe Siren Mage #2Fantasy RomancePublication: July 7, 2026 by Little, Brown and CompanyARC This was probably one of my most anticipated novels of the year. I really, really enjoyed the first book in the series, In the Veins of the Drowning, and liked the mythology and lore of sirens and gods and how they have intermingled their power and magic. I thought this might be a trilogy or more, but recently discovered that this would be a Continue Reading

Review: Scandal of the Summer by Alexandra Vasti
Scandal of the Summer by Alexandra VastiFlirty Rotten Scoundrels #1Historical RomanceJune 23, 2026 by St. Martin's GriffinARC Review by Angela This book is just what I needed.

Add in a found family of other charming rogues and conmen/women and I'm all in. Scandal of the Summer introduces Lady Ruby Ballimore, who is smart and Continue Reading

Mini Reviews: Game of Rogues by Julie Anne Long and
Game of Rogues by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues, #9Historical RomanceJune 6, 2026 by AvonARC I'm not exaggerating when I say that Julie Anne Long can do no wrong in my eyes, and The Palace of Rogues one of my all-time favorite series in the historical romance genre. Every time I pick up a new release, I'm convinced that THIS ONE is my new favorite and she couldn't possibly out-do herself, and every time I'm proven wrong by the next book in the series. Her writing is fun, and Continue Reading
Review: Bromantasy by Máire Roche
Bromantasy by Máire RocheRomantic FantasyPublished on May 26, 2026 by G.P. Putnam's SonsReviewed by Kate Bromantasy was a book I requested for review on the strength of the title alone. I also had certain expectations for it based on the title as well. I expected a bit of a goofy, kind of parody-esque story about two dudes realizing they were in love and overall, it met those expectations. I do have a few complaints, but overall Bromantasy is an enjoyable, lighthearted read. As many Continue Reading
Retro Review: Shacking Up by Helena Hunting
Review originally posted on May 31, 2017 by Mandi. Shacking Up by Helena HuntingReleased: May 30, 2017Contemporary RomanceSwerve Two years ago I read Pucked by Helena Hunting and I liked it a lot – it really made me laugh. I think I read the follow-up to that book but have not tried her again until now. While Pucked is very over-the-top silly (I think the heroine puts a cape of the hero’s peen…if I remember correctly) Shacking Up is more sweet and low-key, with Continue Reading
