Review: Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe

August 28, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory MarloweContemporary RomanceAugust 20, 2024 by Berkley Review by Angela I'm always up for something new and fresh, and a contemporary romance featuring a web series producer and a paranormal conspiracy theorist who fall in love while investigating Area 51 and looking for bigfoot seemed to fit that bill perfectly. Hallie Barrett is a producer at a company that produces Buzzfeed like content and is kind of in a funk. After breaking it off with Continue Reading

August 2, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Review originally posted in September of 2012 by Angela at Fiction Vixen. Make sure you check out the whole series- which is fantastic- especially the fourth book, The Kraken King, which is one of my all-time favorites. Riveted by Meljean BrookIron Seas #3Steampunk RomanceFirst published September 4, 2012 by Berkley One of the things I like most about Meljean Brook’s steampunk romance series, Iron Seas, is that you never know exactly what you’re going to get when you open the Continue Reading

Review: Primal Mirror (Psy-Changeling Trinity #8) by Nalini Singh

July 24, 2024 by Melanie 2 Comments

Primal Mirror by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceJuly 23, 2024, by Berkley Review by Melanie A personal note before I start this review: the entire reason I ever picked up a Psy-Changeling book to begin with is because of my friend and former Smexy reviewer, Melinda, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She adored Nalini’s books and was rightfully convinced that I would love the Psy-Changeling series despite my claims that I just didn’t think PNR was for me. To appease her, I picked up Continue Reading

Review: The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce

July 17, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

The Ex Vows by Jessica JoyceContemporary RomanceJuly 16, 2024- BerkleyARC Review by Angela Y'all, this book wrecked me. I mean I had high expectations after reading this author's previous release, You, With a View, but I had no idea how utterly ruined I would be after reading. This is a second chance romance, which admittedly is one of my favorite tropes. Maybe because these books have the potential to be so emotionally messy. Maybe because I love seeing people in love make their Continue Reading

Review: The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

July 4, 2024 by Angela 3 Comments

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty GreenwoodGhost PNR RomanceJuly 2, 2024 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I have a lot of luck with quirky romances that don't really fit into a specific genre. When I read the blurb for The Love of My Afterlife, I thought that it seemed like something that would be right up my alley. This book starts out when Delphie chokes on a burger and wakes up to find herself in a processing center for the afterlife. There she meets Merritt, her afterlife Continue Reading
