The Psy/Changeling Channel: Kiss of Snow
Melanie: I’m just going to be upfront - this deep-dive will probably be the longest one yet because once again, SO MUCH happens in this book but also, it’s Kiss of Snow (!!!) and neither Melinda nor I have made any secret of the fact that we absolutely adore this book. That’s not to say we’re ignorant about all of the many (MANY) consent issues found within but it’s a good thing we decided to read this book at the beginning of the month because we have a LOT to say. (Also, who’re we kidding, Continue Reading
Smexy Group Review: Archangel’s Light by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Light by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #14Paranormal Romance10/26/2021 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela, Melinda, and Melanie Angela: I remember a couple of years ago when Bluebell and Sparkle started having their spats and disagreements and there seemed to be something afoot with their relationship. Like this author was setting something up for later in the series for them to have this big, wonderful romance and I can tell you right now I was HERE FOR IT. Every review after that Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Play of Passion
Melanie: Once again, I had very little memory of this book except for my original GR review letting me know I loved it the first time I read it, which was over two years ago. I wasn’t sure whether the book would hold up - after all, so much has changed in the past two years - but, despite a lot of pretty glaring consent issues that started right from chapter one, I found myself loving the book, loving Indigo, and absolutely adoring Drew. Melinda and I talked a lot about the fact that we both Continue Reading
Review: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood Contemporary Romance September 14, 2021 by Berkley Books Reviewed by Kate The Love Hypothesis is mostly a charming book. There is so much to love about it. Olive and Adam are adorable together, and the fake-dating plot was perfect. Olive’s friends are amazing and I enjoyed the banter all around. The writing is great, and I breezed through it in one sitting. But while I would very much like to overlook my problems with it for the cuteness, it feels Continue Reading
Review: Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore
Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie DunmoreA League of Extraordinary Women #3Historical Romance09/07/2021 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela This series has been a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I simply adored the first book in the series and loved the premise of this group of women who are fighting for suffrage and women's rights. On the other hand, book two left me irritated and angry after getting almost to the end and running into the tried, cliche gay villain trope. Did not like at all. Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- The Royals Next Door by Karina Halle and Battle Royal by Lucy Parker
The Royals Next Door by Karina HalleContemporary Romance08/31/21 by BerkleyARC This author is hit or miss for me, but I couldn't pass up a romantic comedy where the heroine's new neighbors are Meghan and Harry-inspired royals and her love interest is their bodyguard. That's just catnip for me as a reader. Piper Evans is a school teacher with a lot on her plate. When royalty moves in next door her life gets a whole lot more complicated. Despite living in a small town there isn't a real Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- The Devil You Know by Kit Rocha and Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston
The Devil You Know by Kit RochaMercenary Librarians #2Fantasy/DystopiaAugust 31, 2021, by Tor BooksARC Being a Kit Rocha fangirl, I'm super excited for pretty much any new release by this author duo. The Devil You Know is the second book in the Mercenary Librarians series, and focuses on Maya and Gray. Maya's brain is a weapon, she was trained to carry data, and anything she has seen, heard, read, and experienced is stored in her memory and she literally can not forget. She is also Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis: I’m Only Wicked with You by Julie Anne Long and The Scoundrel’s Daughter by Anne Gracie
I'm Only Wicked with You by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #3Historical RomanceAugust 24, 2021, by AvonARC I know that Julie Anne Long is an author with at least one long-running historical romance series under her belt, but I still think she is massively underrated and overlooked. Simply stated, she rocks my socks off, and every single time I open one of her new releases I can't help but wonder why I don't see people singing her praises all over blogs and social media. I'm Only Continue Reading
