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

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts- Red, White & Royal Blue and Bridal Boot Camp
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuistonLGBT Contemporary RomanceMay 14, 2019 by St. Martin's Griffin KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I loved this book. LOVED. I loved the snark and quirky main (and secondary) characters and the enemies to lovers and the heartfelt emails sent back and forth with their beautiful historical quotes and the sex in well known settings. I loved how the author managed to make this couple's relationship and the worldbuilding feel fresh and new even though the Continue Reading
Review: The Takeover Effect by Nisha Sharma
Billionaire/millionaire characters isn’t typically a trope that I enjoy. But I was interested to see how this new to me author might put a different spin on it. The blurb mentions an arranged marriage and I mistakenly thought that meant between the heroine, Mina, and the hero, Hem but it was about something else. Regardless, I really enjoyed this story. It is strong with the family connection, I love family sagas when they are done well and planting the seeds in interest in the secondary Continue Reading

Review: Let’s Talk About Sext by Evie Claire
I picked this up because I thought it was going to be about a couple who texts/sexts a lot. At least enough to make it in to the title. I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t more texting. There was some, but not as must as I wanted. That is probably me just being nit-picky though. And that is how I roll. While I am talking about the little things in this book that bothered me, I want to mention that the word “girl” was used 63 times. The heroine, Phebe is a ball busting project manager Continue Reading
