When a Rogue Meets His Match by Elizabeth HoytGreycourt #2Historical RomanceDecember 1, 2020, by ForeverARC Reviewed by Angela I didn't love Not the Duke's Darling, the first book in the Greycourt series. Between all the plot threads, side stories, and backstories it was just A LOT. But I was intrigued by the Greycourt family and I really love this author, so I decided to give book two a go. I'm very glad I did. When a Rogue Meets His Match features Messalina Greycourt, a beautiful, Continue Reading
Kate’s Minis – Daddy Crush by A. Anders and His Beauty by Jack Harbon
Daddy Crush by A. AndersContemporaryNovember 27, 2020Self-publishedKindle Unlimited Daddy Crush begins with an excellent hook - a woman being pressured by her date to let him in, big "scary" next door neighbor comes over and scares off lesser man, kisses ensue. And I am here for it. But overall, did I feel that Daddy Crush was lacking something? Yes. In my opinion, so much page time was spent on Karl's feelings for Jerusha, plus the fact that her personality shone through so much - full Continue Reading
Review: Resisting the Billionaire by Allie Winters
Resisting the Billionaire by Allie WintersBillionaire Romance/Contemporary RomanceOctober 22, 2020, Self PublishedARC Review by Jen Allie Winters is a new to me author and I chose this book because…well…I'm a sucker for the billionaire hot hero genre. It honestly didn’t pull me in quickly, maybe it was a bit too precious, nice, not edgy enough for my current reading tastes. I walked away for a bit. I picked up a dark romance book that has GREAT reviews and thought that would get me out of Continue Reading
Review: The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill
The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe NeillHistorical FantasyNovember 17, 2020, by BerkleyARCReview by Angela The cover for The Bright and Breaking Sea is what first caught my attention and led me to read the blurb and then actively inquiring about a review copy. I am 100% here for badass ship captains magically attuned to the sea. This book was quite unlike any I can remember reading. Sort of a fantasy historical adventure with a dash of romance. The main protagonists were introduced Continue Reading
Review: Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
Written in the Stars by Alexandria BellefleurContemporary LBBT RomanceNovember 10, 2020 by Avon Review by Melinda This was apparently a Pride and Prejudice retelling but those kinds of retellings completely miss me because I have no idea when they’re being done. However, I still enjoyed this bisexual contemporary love story. What worked for me was the opposite attracts personality types of Darcy, who is a reserved actuary, and Elle, who is a social media astrologist. I truly loved how Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- A Stitch in Time and A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem
A Stitch in Time by Kelley ArmstrongThorne Manor #1Time Travel/Gothic RomanceOctober 13, 2020 by Subterranean PressARC I grabbed this book simply because the premise sounded interesting and it was written by Kelley Armstrong. The last time I picked up a Kelley Armstrong book it had werewolves and witches. A Stitch in Time is a lovely, gothic time-travel romance. This was such a nice, easy read. I mean yeah, there were ghosts and slips through time and a murder mystery to solve, but I Continue Reading
Review: If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon
If the Boot Fits by Rebekah WeatherspoonCowboys of California #2Contemporary RomanceOctober 27, 2020, by Dafina Review by Melinda: One of the things I loved is that this book opens with a one night stand on the night Sam wins an Oscar. They have a great time and Amanda sneaks away...with his Oscar on accident, but still! This cracked me up to no end that she wanted nothing to do with him OR his Oscar beyond the one night. I really enjoyed this book for a variety of reasons, and one of Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for Love is a Rogue by Lenora Bell and Crazy, Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
Love is a Rogue by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #1Historical RomanceOctober 27, 2020, by AvonARC I simply adored this author's last release and was very excited to get an early copy of this first book in her newest series. Wallflowers vs. Rogues has many of the same characters as her School for Dukes series but seems to be introducing a fresh, new group of Wallflowers/women who want something different for their lives other than balls and shopping and letting men control them. Love is a Continue Reading
Mini-Reviews: Scandalous Secrets by Synithia Williams and Sweet on You by Carla de Guzman
Reviews by Melinda Scandalous Secrets by Synithia WilliamsJackson Falls #2Contemporary RomanceAugust 25, 2020 by HQN Books I have just really enjoyed this Jackson Falls series from Synithia Williams so far. It hits all of my soapy vibes that I need every once in a while. This one has a fun twist on the secret baby trope plus has a second chance romance, which I always love. Byron is running for Senate, and in this book, the political maneuvering takes more of the center stage than it did Continue Reading

The Ippos King by Grace DravenWraith Kings #3Fantasy RomanceOctober 6, 2020, Self-PublishedARC "We live for those we love," she told him in bast-Kai. "We die for those we love. This is a privilege, Serovek, not a sacrifice." I've never made a secret of the fact that I am a Grace Draven fangirl and she continues to wow me with each new release. The Ippos King was originally serialized on her website, and then edited and released in ebook form in its entirety. I decided to forgo reading the Continue Reading
