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
Review: The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone by Audrey Burges
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. All I knew was that the blurb sounded intriguing and maybe a bit weird, and I liked the cover. 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

Review: Blooded Blade by J.C. Daniels
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. And my eyes about popped out of my head. I'd waited five long years for another Kit Colbana adventure and suddenly here it was. Then I realized I didn't remember all of the specifics of the last several books, especially where book 6 (the last book Continue Reading

The Heretic Royal by G.A. AikenThe Scarred Earth Saga #3PNR/Fantasy12/27/2023- KensingtonARC Review by Angela If you're familiar with this author, then you already have a pretty good idea of what you're wading into when you open The Heretic Royal. Shenanigans, blood-thirsty yet loving characters, and a good time. 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
Review: How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley
How the Grump Saved Christmas: A Small Town Romance by Claire KingsleyHoliday/Contemporary Romance11/17/2022 - Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I'm not a holiday romance reader at heart. I don't jump all over the holiday releases at the end of the year and if I DO pick one up it's because something in the title or blurb caught my eye, or the cover was appealing. In this case, I was intrigued by the title of this romance. How the Grump Saved Christmas is basically a Continue Reading
Review: Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse
Tread of Angels by Rebecca RoanhorseHistorical Fantasy11/15/2022 by Gallery/Saga PressARC Review by Angela I can't help but snap up each new release by this author. I've come to really love her complicated world-building and messy characters. This novella is not a romance, but an all-new angelic wild-west inspired fantasy world. Tread of Angels starts off with a bang, and a brawl in the middle of a saloon-type establishment in the city of Goetia. The main protagonist, Celeste, who Continue Reading
