Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa BaileyHot & Hammered #2Contemporary RomanceJanuary 14, 2020 by AvonARC I love the second chance/marriage in trouble trope when it's done well. Having enjoyed the first book in the series, Fix Her Up, I was intrigued to find out the next book would be about the married couple in the group of friends introduced. I couldn't wait until my ARC hit my Kindle. This was a very enjoyable read. I was hooked almost from the first word, but I couldn't tell if that Continue Reading

Review: Beard Necessities by Penny Reid
I finally got the chance to read Beard Necessities by Penny Reid. It is the second half of Billy and Scarlet/Claire’s story. I was underwhelmed. Maybe I set my expectations too high after absolutely loving the sad story that was Beard With Me. In Beard Necessities, Billy and Scarlet are all grown up and are “forced” into reconnecting. The whole Winston family is in Italy. And for the first half of the book I couldn’t understand why they were there. Then I remembered Duane was there to learn Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Mini Reviews: Books by Nina Bocci and Lyssa Kay Adams
The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay AdamsThe Bromance Book Club #1Contemporary RomanceNovember 5, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was a super cute, very original read. The premise of a group of men getting together to form a book club in order to understand the women in their lives better was compelling. This is also a second chance romance, which is my catnip. This couple is married, with twin girls, and are also dealing with frequent separations due to Gavin's job as a MLB player. There is Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses: Reviews for books by Liz Talley and Katherine E. Hunt
I have a round up of some meh books I read recently. Room to Breathe by Liz Talley- I read a couple of Talley’s Superromance’s back in the day and really enjoyed them. I was intrigued when I saw the blurb for this. I love a messy relationship, especially between mother and daughter. I want to note now that this book is not a romance but rather fiction with romantic elements. The journey is definitely focused on Daphne and Ellery’s growth. “For a good part of Daphne Witt’s life, she was a Continue Reading

How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse by K. EasonThe Thorne Chronicles #1Science Fiction/ FantasyOctober 8, 2019 by DAWARC I started this while on a plane flight between Phoenix and Las Vegas, and was so intrigued right from the start that I was annoyed that my flight only lasted about an hour. I wasn't able to get back to it until my later flight from Las Vegas to Houston, but once I fell back into the story I couldn't stop reading. How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse is a YA/NA Continue Reading
Review: Playing House by Ruby Lang
Playing House by Ruby Lang (Uptown #1)Released: August 12, 2019Contemporary NovellaCarina Press Before I share my thoughts on Ruby Lang's newest book, let me say that I really enjoy her previous work. Acute Reactions and Hard Knocks are adorable and I highly recommend them. Playing House didn't live up to my expectations. I think the biggest problem is that it's a short novella. The book starts strong when we meet our protagonists, Oliver Huang and Fay Liu. They have been acquaintances Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wanton Wednesday: The Silver Fox Edition.
So. its Monday morning. I'm between novels and looking for something interesting...different to try on for size.

Timing is impeccable because Angela's new releases post was just what I needed. Not really sure what I'm looking for, I let my eyes do the choosin' and they land on Forbidden Kiss' cover. Salt -n-pepper beard- yep, Continue Reading
