Review: An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6) by Deanna Raybourn

March 3, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

An Unexpected Peril by Deanna RaybournVeronica Speedwell #6Historical Mystery March 2, 2021 by BerkleyReviewed by Angela Favorite Quote: You are not among the good that has happened to me. You are the best of all that I have known. You are what I have searched for when I left that house and wandered this earth, boy and man. You are the part of myself I never thought to find because I did not even dare to dream you existed. You are all that I want and more than I deserve, and I will go to Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Visions of Heat

February 12, 2021 by Melanie Sen 11 Comments

Melinda: Phew, right out of the gate there is so much to talk about with this one and consent because touch and lack of consent is intrinsic to Faith's story. But I don't know that it could be told differently and still be the same story? Melanie: Wow, what a difference 2 years makes! I read this book for the first time almost exactly 2 years ago and while I didn’t love it as much as I loved the first book of the series even back then, I definitely think rereading it for a second time raised Continue Reading

A Lady's Formula for Love by Elizabeth EverettHistorical RomanceFebruary 9. 2021 by Berkley This book was fun... in a screwball comedy, bodyguard falls for the scientist who runs a secret society for other women scientists way. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised at how fun and yet off the charts sexy this book turned out to be. This story features a heroine, Violet, who has a brilliant scientific mind and a desire to see women like her have a safe space to Continue Reading

The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. GeorgeHistorical RomanceJanuary 26, 2021 by Berkley Review by Angela If I'm being completely honest it was the cover for this book that caught my eye and had me requesting for review. I didn't know who the author was or what the book was about, but I wanted to read it. So kudos to the art department at Berkley. AFTER hitting the request button, I did read the blurb. LOL. The Heiress Gets a Duke features a trope that fans of the genre will be Continue Reading

Review: The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon

January 25, 2021 by Melanie Sen 1 Comment

The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn SolomonContemporary RomanceJanuary 26, 2021Berkley Reviewed by Melanie Normally when choosing my first read of the year, I've never given it too much thought. This year though, I wanted to be intentional with my choice. Begin as you mean to go on, and all that. I can honestly say that beginning my reading year with this delightfully charming novel sets the bar pretty high going forward. The Ex Talk is an unique workplace romance. For one, it takes place Continue Reading

Review: How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams

December 10, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

How to Fail at Flirting by Denise WilliamsContemporary RomanceDecember 1, 2020, by BerkleyARCReviewed by Angela Content Warnings: Memories of domestic abuse, attempted rape This was SUCH a great read, the perfect mix between sexy, fun, getting to know you romance, and emotional healing from past trauma. I kind of fell into this story and didn't want to come out. The heroine of How to Fail at Flirting is Naya Turner, a professor at a local university whose life is kind of stuck in a Continue Reading

Review: Archangel’s Sun by Nalini Singh

December 3, 2020 by Angela 3 Comments

Archangel's Sun by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #13PNR/ Urban Fantasy RomanceNovember 24, 2020, by Berkley ARC Reviewed by Angela I remembered being SO EXCITED when it was announced that Titus and Sharine, better known in this series as The Hummingbird, would be the featured couple in the next Guild Hunter novel. As much as I adore this author's Psy/Changeling series, I can't get enough of her Archangels and the world they live in. I simply adore The Guild Hunter world. The Hummingbird Continue Reading

Review: Ties That Tether by Jane Igharo

December 2, 2020 by Melinda 1 Comment

Ties that Tether by Jane IgharoContemporary RomanceSeptember 29, 2020, by BerkleyAudibleReviewed by Melinda I love reading debuts because I feel like it gives a great glimpse into authors and their writing potential. Ties That Tether is such a strong first novel that I cannot wait to see what else Jane Igharo does. The main theme running throughout the novel is how to deal with cultural differences in a relationship. Azere's family has always stressed the importance of marrying a Nigerian Continue Reading

Review: The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill

November 18, 2020 by Angela 1 Comment

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

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for Love is a Rogue by Lenora Bell and Crazy, Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

October 29, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

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
