June 19, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Never Been Shipped by Alicia ThompsonContemporary RomanceJune 10, 2025, by Berkley Review by Angela Everyone knows friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, add in the "getting the band back together vibe" and a lovely cover and I'm all yours. Never Been Shipped is a friends to lovers, has been rockstar romance. It started out slow, which is probably why it took a little longer for me to make it all the way through to the end. ElectricOh! is a band that broke up years before Continue Reading

Archangel's Ascension by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #17Paranormal/Fantasy RomanceMay 6, 2025- BerkleyARC Review by Angela This has to be my most anticipated book in years and years.

All three of the books I've read Continue Reading
