Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry

May 5, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

Book Lovers by Emily HenryContemporary RomanceMay 3, 2022, by Berkley Review by Angela I've become an Emily Henry fangirl over the last couple of years, so when this book hit my Kindle I set aside everything to read. Book Lovers centers around two main characters deeply involved in the publishing world. Literary agent extraordinaire Nora Stephens and her editor nemesis Charlie Lastra. They first cross paths at a coffee meeting to discuss her biggest client's new manuscript. He Continue Reading

Review: Kiss Hard by Nalini Singh

May 3, 2022 by Melanie 2 Comments

Kiss Hard by Nalini SinghHard Play #4Contemporary RomanceMay 3, 2022, by TKA Distribution Review by Melanie Well, this was a delightful surprise from one of my very favorite authors, an unexpected contemporary romance announced less than a month prior to its release. Fun fact: I actually discovered Nalini through her contemporaries first! Back when I was under the misguided impression that PNR wasn’t really my jam, I started reading her contemporaries and immediately fell in love with Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: The Favor by Suzanne Wright

May 1, 2022 by Iby 3 Comments

There is something about a growly alpha hero who convinces a likable heroine to enter into a marriage of convenience that just does it for me. Suzanne Wright’s The Favor does this trope extremely well. Vienna is a spunky, smart survivor who works as a highly competent executive assistant for her boss, Dane. Dane needs a wife to claim an inheritance and convinces Vienna to be his wife. In this scene, someone is trying to sour the relationship between Dane and Vienna by sending some misleading Continue Reading

Review: By Any Other Name by Lauren Kate

April 29, 2022 by Iby 2 Comments

By Any Other Name by Lauren KateContemporary RomanceMarch 1, 2022, by G.P. Putnam's Sons Review by Iby I know some readers dislike deception in their romance. I’m not sure that I’m necessarily opposed to deception, but I do enjoy it more when an author makes the other main character aware of the deception early on. Lauren Kate does that here, as she introduces us to her heroine, Lanie, a book editor who also works on the books written by the anonymous author Noa Calloway. Noa is a Continue Reading

Review: Partner Track by Cat Wynn

April 29, 2022 by Melanie 1 Comment

Partner Track by Cat WynnContemporary Romance April 26, 2022, by Carina Press Review by Melanie I’m going to be perfectly honest here, when I finished this book, I was really torn as to how I felt about it and wasn’t sure I could actually write a proper review about it. After spending some time thinking about it, I’ve come to some conclusions regarding my feelings toward this book.  The reason I was initially so torn about this book is that for the first 88% of the book, I really Continue Reading

Review: Book Boyfriend by Kris Ripper

April 27, 2022 by Kate H. Leave a Comment

Book Boyfriend by Kris RipperLGBTQIA Contemporary RomanceCarina Adores PressApril 26, 2022 by Kate H. I had to adjust my expectations a lot as I read Book Boyfriend, and I expect most readers may not have the patience.  Written as an inner monologue with all the verbal habits, like “like” and “you know” intact, it tells the story of PK or Preston Kinglsey Harrington III.  Like many “the thirds” he has the benefit of generational wealth, and he lives in a New York apartment with a Continue Reading

Review: Tanked by Mia Hopkins

April 26, 2022 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Tanked by Mia HopkinsContemporary RomanceApril 26, 2022, by Little Stone Press Review by Melanie To say that I was waiting with great anticipation for the third and final installment of Mia Hopkins’ Eastside Brewery series would be a bit of an understatement. It had been 3 years since book 2 had come out and after having read the final book, I can honestly say it was more than worth the wait.  Tanked is the story of the youngest Rosas brother, Angel Rosas. We only get the barest Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: Trashed by Mia Hopkins

April 24, 2022 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Last week’s Scenic Sunday highlighted scenes from Thirsty and this week, I’m taking a look back at Trashed, the 2nd book in the Eastside Brewery series. Trashed focuses on the middle Rosas brother, Eddie, who we meet briefly at the end of Thirsty. If the main theme of Sal’s story was about redemption and reinvention, then Eddie’s story is all about rebirth and rejection - that is, rejection of what’s in the past and instead, choosing to look forward. I highlighted the hell out of this book Continue Reading
