Review: Sorry, Bro by Taleen Voskuni
Sorry, Bro by Taleen VoskuniLGBTQ Contemporary RomancePublished by Berkley on January 31, 2023Reviewed by Kate As an Armenian-American (and a bisexual one, at that), I both feel super qualified and yet totally unprepared to review Taleen Voskuni’s debut novel Sorry, Bro. I’m coming from a place where I unabashedly loved this book before I even read it, and I don’t know that I am the most fair and unbiased reader. Armenian-Americans have very little representation in the general media, Continue Reading

Review: Chick Magnet by Emma Barry
Chick Magnet by Emma BarryContemporary RomanceJanuary 24, 2023, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela So, this was different from any book I've read recently. I picked it up because of this line in the blurb: From Emma Barry comes a clever romance about a hot veterinarian and a chicken-loving influencer who can’t help but ruffle each other’s feathers. Did I know what a chicken influencer was before I started to read? No. Do I know now? Why, yes. I also know more about chickens Continue Reading
Review: Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka
Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-BrokaContemporary RomanceJanuary 24, 2023 by Berkley Review by Melanie Romance novels tend to follow a set of pretty rigid rules. There’s of course the requirement for a HEA (Happily Ever After) or, at the very least, a HFN (Happy For Now). The driving force of the plot must center on a romantic relationship, the focus being on these main characters (human or otherwise, 2 or more) and the journey they take to get to their eventual Continue Reading
