Review: Stone Cold Heart by Laura Griffin
I really enjoy suspense books - I often listen to audio books and my number one genre isn't necessarily romance, but suspense. Although a side romance never hurts! Laura Griffin writes excellent suspense/thrillers. I'm always completely engaged - not only with the crime details, but great dialogue, great descriptions of the crime scenes and some intense action. The romance in this series is very low-key and in this book fell pretty flat for me. Sara and Nolan could be cute and romancy Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings (Afternoon Edition)
99 Percent Mine by Sally ThorneContemporary RomanceJanuary 29, 2019 by William Morrow Favorite Quote: I say up to the ceiling, "Tell me I smell right." He senses the uncertainty underlying my sharp order. "You smell like the only person." Sally Thorne's sophomore release has garnered mixed reviews. I've seen quite a few people who loved it and some who had a hard time getting into the flow of the story. And I can see why. The first two chapters are disjointed and kind of odd. I Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Pilot and the Puck-Up by Pippa Grant- I actually read this a few weeks ago but I forgot about it. It’s been a hectic month, what can I say.

Joey, the heroine was a sarcastic and smart heroine, one of my favorite kinds. Zeus is a not so dumb hockey player. He is instantly smitten with her. I loved the way their relationship builds. Zeus loves Joey for her strengths Continue Reading
