Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne EnochWild Wicked Highlanders #2Historical RomanceJanuary 28, 2020 by St. Martin's PressARC I really enjoyed the first book in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series and was more than ready to meet the woman who captured the roguish middle brother Aden's heart.

Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa BaileyHot & Hammered #2Contemporary RomanceJanuary 14, 2020 by AvonARC I love the second chance/marriage in trouble trope when it's done well.

I couldn't wait until my ARC hit my Kindle. This was a very enjoyable read. I was hooked almost from the first word, but I couldn't tell if that Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Mini Reviews: Books by Nina Bocci and Lyssa Kay Adams
The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay AdamsThe Bromance Book Club #1Contemporary RomanceNovember 5, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was a super cute, very original read. The premise of a group of men getting together to form a book club in order to understand the women in their lives better was compelling. This is also a second chance romance, which is my catnip. This couple is married, with twin girls, and are also dealing with frequent separations due to Gavin's job as a MLB player. There is 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.

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. My next anticipated read is Ward's Blood Truth (ugh, one more week) so in the meanwhile, I need something quick and easy and I'm in the mood to have a little fun. 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: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
The Right Swipe by Alisha RaiModern Love #1Contemporary RomanceAugust 6, 2019 by Avon ARC I love Alisha Rai romances. I love the diversity of her casts. I love that her main protagonists always have supportive and loving friends and family. I love that found families are frequently a theme within her stories. Her books are sex positive and feminist and filled with characters beautifully and perfectly flawed. Also, she can write the hell out of a sex scene. The Right Swipe had everything Continue Reading
