The Psy/Changeling Channel: Blaze of Memory

July 30, 2021 by Melanie 1 Comment

Melanie: Well, this book was a ride…the kind of ride I actually wanted to get off of long before it ended. It’s a little strange to me that in the same month that we delved into some of the Psy/Changeling novellas, we also read a book that arguably could and maybe should have been a novella. When Melinda and I were messaging back and forth during the course of reading this book, she made a comment that really resonated. “Is boring worse than asshole,” she pondered. I’m hoping that over the Continue Reading

Review: Isn’t It Bromantic by Lyssa Kay Adams

July 23, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

Isn't It Bromantic by Lyssa Kay AdamsBromance Book Club #4Contemporary RomanceJuly 20, 2021, by BerkleyARCReview by Angela I swear, this series gets better and better with each new release. When I picked up the first book in the series I expected a bunch of laughs and hijinks, especially given the title of the series as a whole and the premise that this was a bunch of guys getting together to research romance novels in order to help them with their love interests. And don't get me wrong, Continue Reading

Review: The Devil and the Heiress by Harper St. George

June 30, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Devil and the Heiress by Harper St. GeorgeThe Gilded Age Heiresses #2Historical RomanceJune 29, 2021, by BerkleyARCReview by Angela I simply adored the first book in this series, The Heiress Gets a Duke, and couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of the follow-up, which features the younger Crenshaw sister Violet, and Lord Leigh. An aspiring author heroine fleeing her parent's marriage trap and a disreputable rouge out to win her heart? Yes, please. Violet Crenshaw isn't as invested Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Branded by Fire

June 25, 2021 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Melinda: We’re excited to be back and once again have a new dynamic to examine with two alpha changelings in a mated pair with Mercy and Riley. But first we need to give a content warning for suicide of secondary characters. We don't actually touch on that in our deep dive, but this book does have that in the plot so if that bothers you please take care of yourself and skip either all of this book or at least those parts. So we start out with Mercy, immediately being extremely horny and I Continue Reading

Review: The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary

June 23, 2021 by Kate 4 Comments

The Road Trip by Beth O'Leary Contemporary Romance June 1, 2021 by Berkley Reviewed by Kate Having read The Flatshare and The Switch by Beth O’Leary, I had an expectation going into The Road Trip. The expectation was that The Road Trip would be lighter on the romance arc, but funny and heartwarming and sweet regardless. However, The Road Trip didn’t really fit those expectations. The Road Trip is a book with a reader’s guide at the back, and a content warning list that feels like it could Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Love Scenes by Bridget Morrissey and Subtle Blood by KJ Charles

June 21, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

Love Scenes by Bridget MorrisseyContemporary RomanceJune 22, 2021, by BerkleyARC I kind of expected a soft, funny book with lots of shenanigans and on-set hi-jinks, but Love Scenes by Bridget Morrissey turned out to be a whole lot more. This an emotional read, featuring an actress heroine from a big, diverse, creative extended family who are all in the Hollywood business. They write, they direct, they do movie scores... this is a bright and fun group who has issues but love each other. Continue Reading

Kate’s Minis: Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey and A Lowcountry Bride by Preslaysa Williams

June 17, 2021 by Kate 2 Comments

Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey June 15, 2021 by Berkley Contemporary Romance Very Sincerely Yours is an adorable book. Unfortunately, I don't have that much more to say about it. It follows romance novel conventions, including the third act break-up, has one of my favorite tropes (hidden identity), and is very sweet. This is obviously not a negative - sometimes this is what you're looking for in a book! But not a ton happens in Very Sincerely Yours, and despite the aforementioned Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia and Tempting Fate by Kerrigan Byrne

June 4, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa AfiaHarlem Renaissance Mystery #1Historical Mystery06/01/2021 by BerkleyARC I've been on a historical mystery binge for the last year or so and have devoured one series after another. I saw the cover reveal for Dead Dead Girls on Twitter, read the blurb, and then immediately put it on my TBR wishlist. I mean who can resist gorgeous women drinking illegal booze in speakeasies and dancing with each other all night long while a killer is on the loose in Harlem? Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel: Hostage to Pleasure

May 21, 2021 by Melanie 1 Comment

A quick note before we delve into this month’s deep dive for Hostage to Pleasure. We’ve going to start incorporating Nalini’s Psy-Changeling novellas into our monthly reads and recaps. They may not happen every month but we’ll be adding them in when appropriate. Since this month’s read focused on the relationship between Dorian and Ashaya, we also read the novella Dorian, which can be found in the Psy-Changeling collection, Wild Embrace.  Melanie: I know we say this a lot in our deep Continue Reading

Review: The Duke Undone by Joanna Lowell

May 14, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

The Duke Undone by Joanna LowellHistorical RomanceApril 6, 2021, by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I think the cute, artsy covers have confused me at this point, I just do not know what to expect when I open a book anymore. Joanna Lowell is a new to me author so that was no help either. The Duke Undone is waaaaaay more angsty (like whoa) and filled with dark themes than I expected. This isn't a bad thing, but between the alcoholism, PTSD, dyslexia, family members being locked away against Continue Reading
