Rule #1: No hot guys.It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of was, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone.No one would know me at college. Rule #2: No drama.I’d major in pre-law. I’d make a few loyal friends. Everything would be easy-breezy. No one was going to use me or hurt me. I wouldn’t let them. Rule #3: New year. New place. New me. Right?Wrong.And Continue Reading

Review: Playing House by Ruby Lang
Playing House by Ruby Lang (Uptown #1)Released: August 12, 2019Contemporary NovellaCarina Press Before I share my thoughts on Ruby Lang's newest book, let me say that I really enjoy her previous work. Acute Reactions and Hard Knocks are adorable and I highly recommend them. Playing House didn't live up to my expectations. I think the biggest problem is that it's a short novella. The book starts strong when we meet our protagonists, Oliver Huang and Fay Liu. They have been acquaintances Continue Reading
Excerpt: Unbreak Me by Michelle Hazen
Andra opened her front door, and the frown froze on her face as LJ’s shoulders filled the doorframe. He was holding . . . a cake? “Um, hi,” she managed. She reached behind her back to undo the knot that pulled her T-shirt tight against her chest, shaking the baggy hem so it would fall to cover some of her leggings. What was he doing here? Oh crap, she’d promised to talk to him about the horses. “Look, I’m sorry. I know I said I’d come talk to you a couple days ago, Continue Reading
Wistful/Wanton Wednesday: Fire in Her Eyes by Ruby Dixon
Cool cover- check. Post-apocalypticish paranormally romance with strong female lead- check. Ruby Dixon. Checkity, check, check, check! I've so (so!) been looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. These kind of stories tend to lean heavily on reliable trope: alien male finds his one true human mate, he glowers, she fights it, and by then end we are all swooning. Fire in Her Eyes, turns the tables and the otherworldly Drakoni protagonist is a dangerously protective and Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts
The Wallflower Wager by Tessa DareGirl Meets Duke #3Historical RomanceAugust 13, 2019 by AvonARC Tessa Dare is one of my auto-buy historical romance authors. I don't even need to read a blurb or know what the book is about to put it on my TBR list. The Wallflower Wager is the third book in her Girl Meets Duke series and I absolutely adored the two previous installments. Lady Penelope Campion had a softness for animals. Gabe had no softness at all. The Wallflower Wager features Lady Continue Reading
Sexcerpt- Playing House by Ruby Lang
Ruby Lang's new release, Play House releases tomorrow, August 12. Here's a sexcerpt to hold you over until then. “Are you sure about this?” “Yes. I know my own mind.” He gave a short laugh. “I don’t know my own half the time.” That caught her up short. “But do you want this, too?” “Yes.” It was the truth. She could tell by his hands, which moved up and down her back of their own accord, and then stopped abruptly every time he had a doubt, a shadow, a memory. She wanted to Continue Reading
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.

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
