House on Fire by Jenn BurkeAshes & Dust #2LGBTQ Paranormal RomanceNovember 16, 2021, by Carina PressARC Review by Angela House on Fire is the second book in the Ashes & Dust series, yet the fifth book in this world. I can't tell you how excited I was when this book hit my Kindle. I love what Jenn Burke has created in this PNR series. Starting out where the previous book left off, Evan and Colin are still figuring out the bond between them, which doesn't allow them to be but a Continue Reading
Review: Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian’s Vow by Keira Andrews
Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week. And I would be lying if I said it wasn't the word barbarian in the title that first caught my attention. Everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for a sexy barbarian romance. When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading
Review: The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley
The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley The Wild Wynchesters #2 Historical Romance October 26, 2021 by Forever Reviewed by Kate The Perks of Loving a Wallflower is a lovely historical romance with two female main characters. This is the second in The Wild Wynchesters series, but I do not think the first (The Duke Heist) is necessary to enjoy this one. I would recommend The Duke Heist, however, and reading it first may give the reader some additional context which could make this Continue Reading
Review: The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller
The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana BillerHistorical RomanceOctober 12, 2021, by St, Martin's ARC Review by Angela I am a big fan of historical romance when it's mixed with some mystery and suspense, I'm an even bigger fan of historical romances with mysteries when they have some gothic, ghostly elements. I'm happy to report that The Brightest Star in Paris gave me all that and more. This is a follow-up to the very popular The Widow of Rose House. If you enjoyed the love story Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao and A Spindle Splintered by Alix E Harrow
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay ZhaoIron Widow #1Young Adult LGBT FantasySeptember 21, 2021, by Penguin TeenARC This cover, y'all. Absolutely gorgeous. It sets my cover-loving heart on fire. There was so much buzz about this book on Twitter that I couldn't help but go looking for a blurb. So when I saw it described as "Pacific Rim meets Handmaid's Tale" I knew I just had to read. I would say the description is right on the money. Iron Widow introduces Wu Zetian, an 18-year-old woman who is Continue Reading

Love, Comment, Subscribe by Cathy YardleyContemporary RomanceOctober 1, 2021, by MontlakeARC Reviewer: Melinda Lily Wang and Tobin Hui went to High School together 10 years ago, but they weren’t exactly friends...or enemies either one. Frenemy is definitely the better term to describe what they were to each other. We open the book with a brief scene in high school and Lily ditching her Nerd Herd friends to try to sit with the popular group in the cafeteria but icily getting brushed off Continue Reading

Review: The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling
The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling Contemporary Paranormal Romance September 28, 2021 by Avon Reviewed by Kate When I was mentally writing this review, I planned on opening with some comment about how I've read so many of Rachel Hawkins' books, and I loved them all. When I fact-checked this (thank goodness for Goodreads, despite its many flaws), I found that was not, in fact, the case. I've read maybe half of her YA, and I apparently did not really enjoy Hex Hall, her debut novel (Kate in the early Continue Reading
