Reluctant Renegade by Garrett LeighJuly 12, 2023- Fox Love PressLGBTQ+ Contemporary Romance Review by Kate H. When I saw that the 5th book in the Rebel King’s series was coming out so soon after the 4th, I was a little bit nervous. But I guess some people are just that talented. Reluctant Renegade is the love story of Decoy and Folk, both former British military, but very different men. Unbeknownst to the rest of the Rebel Kings MC, they had met briefly during their Continue Reading
Review: To Have and to Heist by Sara Desai
To Have and to Heist by Sara DesaiContemporary RomancePublished on July 18, 2023- Berkley Reviewed by Kate I think there are very valid reasons to be wary of a certain type of book, with a certain type of cover, at this point, but I have enjoyed Sara Desai’s romances before, so I was willing to give To Have and to Heist a chance. And I was so happy I did! To Have and to Heist was the kind of book that I didn’t read straight through because I wanted it to last longer. It was Continue Reading
Review: Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
Hello Stranger by Katherine CenterRomantic ComedyJuly 11, 2023St. Martin's Press Review by Jen It was maybe two years ago when Brad Pitt started talking about how he suffered from face blindness. Do you remember that? It’s a rare neurological disorder called, prosopagnosia. I had never heard of it before then. It’s when a person struggles to recognize people’s faces. Not like you can’t remember people…but you literally can’t see their face organized like a face. What does that have to Continue Reading
Review: Kissing A Stranger by Lacey Black
Kissing a Stranger by Lacey BlackThe Kissing Games #4July 13, 2023- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela So, uh, this book is quite a bit sexier than the previous installments in this multi-author series. If you've read the whole series so far, you've met Adeline and Decker already. Adeline is a bridesmaid in the wedding that didn't happen, and Decker is a bartender at the resort. I was going to lead that their relationship started with a kiss, just like in the other books, but Decker Continue Reading

Review: Forget Me Not by Julie Soto
Forget Me Not by Julie SotoContemporary RomanceJuly 11, 2023- ForeverARC Review by Angela This is another case of don't judge a book by its cover. I wasn't going to pick this book up because this is a really terrible cover, but after hearing good things on Twitter and finding out this debut author already has a television series deal in the works for it, I decided to see what the fuss was all about. And I'm really glad I did. This is a grumpy/sunshine, second-chance romance with Continue Reading
Review: You, with a View by Jessica Joyce
You, with a View by Jessica JoyceContemporary RomanceJuly 11, 2023- BerkleyARC Review by Angela The blurb for this book does not do it justice. What might appear to be just a fun, enemies to lovers, road trip romance is really so much more. So, so much more. Noelle Shepard is unemployed and living with her parents, down in the dumps, and a little lost. She is still grieving over the death of her beloved grandmother when she comes across pictures of her with a man who isn't her Continue Reading

Review: Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn SolomonContemporary RomanceJuly 4, 2023 by Berkley Review by Melanie This is the third Rachel Lynn Solomon contemporary romance I’ve read and I think that’s enough data to conclude that she’s now an auto-read author for me. Her voice is just a perfect blend of biting wit and vulnerable self-doubt, her characters are beautifully rendered with layers of complexity and the romance just feels like a punch to the solar plexus. There’s so much care taken, Continue Reading
Review: Role Playing by Cathy Yardley
Role Playing by Cathy YardleyContemporary RomanceJuly 1, 2023 by Montlake Review by Melanie This is now the second Cathy Yardley book I’ve read and I really have to make time in my reading schedule to dive into her backlist. Her voice is sharp and funny and I love how she writes her MCs and the way her characters communicate like adults, no game playing. Well, no mind games, at the very least. Her author’s voice really works for me and this book just hits perfectly on every Continue Reading
