Quiet in Her Bones by Nalini SinghMystery/SuspenseFebruary 23, 2021 by Berkley Review by Angela I love this author in all her many genre forms. From contemporary romance to PNR to urban fantasy romance, and now it appears I fallen for her mystery/suspense voice. As much as I enjoyed A Madness of Sunshine, I do believe I liked Quiet in Her Bones even more. This is an ambling, suspenseful book, quiet in its own way, as it's laying out all the potential suspects, introducing the Continue Reading

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

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

Review: The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon
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.

Review: Ties That Tether by Jane Igharo
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.

Review: The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill
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
