Review: Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg
Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. HolmbergHistorical Fantasy11/1/2022 - 47NorthAmazon First Reads Review by Angela This book sat on my Kindle for ages after I snagged it as one of my Amazon First Reads last year. But I kept seeing positive reviews and I've been on a bit of a quirky magical romance kick lately, so I decided to finally open it and see what all the fuss was about. Keeper of Enchanted Rooms takes place in the mid-1800s, mainly in Rhode Island, but there are Continue Reading
Series Review- Ignisar by Jess K Hardy
If you love science fiction romance as much as I do, then you are always on the hunt for something new. Kindle Unlimited has thousands of series' in this genre and it's hard to slog through the masses to find the gem. This series popped up on my radar when the publisher sent an email with the latest release, The Princes and the Bruiser, but since it was the third book in the series I kind of mentally bookmarked it and moved on. Then the first book appeared on a list I clicked on somewhere... Continue Reading

The Minuscule Mansion of Myra MaloneFantasy/Magical Realism1/24/2023 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I had no idea what to expect when I requested this book for review.

But if anyone can tell by my reading choices last year, I'm all in on weird, intriguing PNR/Fantasy reads. Blurb: A woman learns to expand the boundaries of her small world and let love inside it in this sparkling and Continue Reading
Review: Chick Magnet by Emma Barry
Chick Magnet by Emma BarryContemporary RomanceJanuary 24, 2023, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela So, this was different from any book I've read recently. I picked it up because of this line in the blurb: From Emma Barry comes a clever romance about a hot veterinarian and a chicken-loving influencer who can’t help but ruffle each other’s feathers. Did I know what a chicken influencer was before I started to read? No. Do I know now? Why, yes. I also know more about chickens Continue Reading
Review: A Thousand Miles to Graceland by Kristen Mei Chase
A Thousand Miles to Graceland by Kristen Mei ChaseWomen's Fiction1/24/2023 by ForeverARC Review by Angela This is labeled on Amazon as a romantic comedy, and it is 100% NOT a romantic comedy. In fact, I would say this isn't a romance at all. A Thousand Miles to Graceland is mainly a road trip book between a daughter who escaped her chaotic, toxic home after college and her Chinese-American flamboyant, Elvis-loving mother that ends up being a journey of self-discovery and mother/daughter Continue Reading

Blooded Blade by J.C. DanielsThe Colbana Files #8Urban Fantasy12/5/2022- Self PublishedPurchased Review by Angela So I was innocently scrolling through Amazon, compiling books for my new release post, when this book suddenly appeared.

This book continues the ongoing plot arc of the Farmerson-Smythe family's quest to stop their evil sister Beatrix and keep their kingdom safe. The third oldest sister, Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Marni Mann, Rachel Kapelke-Dale and Claire Kingsley
I feel a bit out of practice with writing reviews. Its, unfortunately, been a busy few weeks. The good news is, I liked all three of these books. And they were VERY different stories. First up, When Ashes Fall by Marni Mann. This book was heart breaking and inspired by a real life tragedy. Alix is a paramedic. She meets Dylan a wealthy owner of a private jet company and a pilot himself. Their romance is deep, all encompassing, not perfect, but beautiful. They get engaged and then Alix Continue Reading
