Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory MarloweContemporary RomanceAugust 20, 2024 by Berkley Review by Angela I'm always up for something new and fresh, and a contemporary romance featuring a web series producer and a paranormal conspiracy theorist who fall in love while investigating Area 51 and looking for bigfoot seemed to fit that bill perfectly. Hallie Barrett is a producer at a company that produces Buzzfeed like content and is kind of in a funk. After breaking it off with Continue Reading

Review: The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa Grant
The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa GrantContemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyAugust 1, 2024- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela Whenever I need a bit of a breather from angsty, darker romances I pick up a Pippa Grant romantic comedy. The Secret Hook-Up is listed as being book number six in The Copper Valley Thrusters series, but it's really just an addition into the Pippa Grant Copper Valley universe.

68 Whiskey by Erin RussellPossum Hollow Book 2LGBTQ RomanceJune 26, 2024-Self-published Review by Kate H. I felt like I had to wait a week to write this review because I was so excited about this book that I didn’t trust myself. After a week I can say that my enthusiasm is warranted. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year. It has some of the normal tropes we are used to, but the originality of the writing and the portrayal of the characters make it seem really fresh and Continue Reading
Retro Review: Idol by Kristen Callihan
Review originally posted in June of 2016 on Fiction Vixen by Angela. ' Idol by Kristen CallihanVIP #1Contemporary RomanceJune 7, 2016- Self Published I loved this book. Hard. I loved this book so, so hard. I loved it so much as soon as I finished reading I wanted to go back and reread all those quotes I’d highlighted. Or maybe start over from the beginning and read while listening to the playlist as Libby and Killian sing and strum the guitar. Maybe even enough to name the stars at Continue Reading
Review: Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto
Not Another Love Song by Julie SotoContemporary RomanceJuly 16, 2024- ForeverARC Review by Angela I really enjoyed this author's debut, Forget Me Not, which released last year. I will admit that the cover and blurb for her sophomore release really caught my attention and had me hitting that request button almost immediately. And holy smokes- I'm so glad I did. Rival string players in an orchestra is not a thing that I knew I needed in my life, but apparently my romance loving soul Continue Reading
Review: The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce
The Ex Vows by Jessica JoyceContemporary RomanceJuly 16, 2024- BerkleyARC Review by Angela Y'all, this book wrecked me. I mean I had high expectations after reading this author's previous release, You, With a View, but I had no idea how utterly ruined I would be after reading. This is a second chance romance, which admittedly is one of my favorite tropes. Maybe because these books have the potential to be so emotionally messy. Maybe because I love seeing people in love make their Continue Reading
