Smexy’s October TBR
Angela: Hold on tight... I have a LIST. I feel like every book I want to read this year releases in October. (So many I'm not even going to list them all here.) The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab 10/6 Fantasy- I've actually already read this one, simply because I couldn't resist. AND IT WAS FABULOUS. This is a story of a woman who makes a deal with the devil in order to be free and have nothing holding her down, only she doesn't exactly get what she expects. No one remembers Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Lorraine Heath, Christina Lauren, and Rosie Danan
Beauty Tempts the Beast by Lorraine HeathSins for All Seasons #6Historical RomanceSeptember 29, 2020, by AvonARC This is the last book in the Sins for All Seasons series and features the last Trewlove sibling, Benedict aka Beast. If you've read the previous five installments then you know that the Trewloves were all (except for Fancy) taken in as infants by Mama Trewlove and given a good and loving, but poor home. Beast doesn't know who his parents are or why he was given up as a baby. Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Christina Lauren and Julianna Keyes
The Honey Don't List by Christina LaurenContemporary RomanceMarch 24, 2020 by Gallery BooksARC Christina Lauren is one of those author duos that I keep on my auto buy list even though their books have gradually moved toward more semi-closed door romance and womens fiction rather than the hotter than hell romances I remember back in the day when they first started publishing together. I miss those down and dirty, filthy love scenes. The Honey Don't List starts out in a way that completely Continue Reading
Monday Mini’s- Mini reviews for books by Christina Lauren and Katie Porter
The Honey Don’t List by Christina Lauren- I have read many of Lauren’s books. They are usually very enjoyable to me. Although I really disliked the last one, Twice in a Blue Moon for lots of reasons. I still wanted to read this book. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. It felt similar in a few ways to Dating You Hating You, work enemies of some sort that fall in love. (CW: workplace sexism, emotional abuse by boss, disabled heroine) There was nothing spectacular about this book for me. Continue Reading
Smexy’s March TBR
Angela- Remember last month when I said I had a gazillion books to read this month? I was totally serious. For some reason a crap ton of great books release every March (which also happens to be my birthday month) and every March I overload myself on ARCs I simply must have. Here are just a few of the books I'm most anticipating this month. House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Mass 3/3 Fantasy- As soon as I found out this author was releasing a book in a new series I had to Continue Reading
Kini’s Most Anticipated Reads 2020
First I want to mention that almost all of the books that I am excited about are from traditional publishers because they typically release information about new books several months in advance. If you are indie or self publishing a book, we would love to know about it sooner rather than later so we can get it on our radar! Our request form does not require an ARC. Second, most of these books are from the first half of 2020, with a few from the second half as publishing hasn’t released much Continue Reading
Sheena’s Most Anticipated Reads for 2020
I for one am soooo READY to ring in the New Year and (yet again!) embark on my quest to vanquish my TBRs and devour the books I am eagerly anticipating. MY 2020 romance reading forecast promises to be full of contemporary gems, paranormal activity-and I am determined to mark my return, back to my beloved Historicals- my all time fav genre, which took a back seat for me in 2019. My eyeballs are READY: Road to Salvation, Trilogy by Jamie Begley (Last Riders)- Book 1, Gavin's Song is out Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses with mini reviews for books by J. Daniels, Vanessa North, Lucy Gilmore and Christina Lauren.
I’m back! I read some more books and now I am going to tell you about them. Down Too Deep by J. Daniels- This one has things I love, single parents, one of whom is a widower. But this book did not work well for me. The heroine, Jenna, meets the hero when his daughter is roaming around the restaurant he owns and she offers to babysit the child. They don’t know each other but sort of know of each other through other people. It was weird. CW: Widower spouse who's wife died by Continue Reading
