Melanie: I’m just going to be upfront - this deep-dive will probably be the longest one yet because once again, SO MUCH happens in this book but also, it’s Kiss of Snow (!!!) and neither Melinda nor I have made any secret of the fact that we absolutely adore this book. That’s not to say we’re ignorant about all of the many (MANY) consent issues found within but it’s a good thing we decided to read this book at the beginning of the month because we have a LOT to say. (Also, who’re we kidding, Continue Reading
Review: A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon
A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah WeatherspoonContemporary Romance10/26/2021 by Dafina BooksARC Review by Melanie I have always imagined that cowboy romances are not for me. I’m not a huge nature person, have never been big into horses and as such, just assumed that cowboys, as a romance hero archetype, wasn’t really my jam. It wasn’t until Rebekah Weatherspoon released the first book in her Cowboys of California series back in 2020 that I began to question that maybe under the right Continue Reading
Review: The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley
The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley The Wild Wynchesters #2 Historical Romance October 26, 2021 by Forever Reviewed by Kate The Perks of Loving a Wallflower is a lovely historical romance with two female main characters. This is the second in The Wild Wynchesters series, but I do not think the first (The Duke Heist) is necessary to enjoy this one. I would recommend The Duke Heist, however, and reading it first may give the reader some additional context which could make this Continue Reading

Review: Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey
Window Shopping by Tessa BaileyHoliday Contemporary RomanceOctober 19, 2021 Self Published Review by Angela First, let me say that I'm not usually a holiday romance reader. I have read them, they just aren't something I read a lot of. But when Tessa Bailey, the queen of the dirty talking hero, says she has a Ted Lasso-inspired, grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract holiday romance... I just can't help myself. I really can't. I don't have the willpower y'all. And I'm really glad I gave in Continue Reading

The Devil's Own Duke by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #2Historical Romance09/28/2021 by AvonARC Review by Angela The second book in the Wallflowers vs. Rogues series by Lenora Bell, reminded me quite a bit of the first. A heroine who wants to do her own thing versus be stuck in a loveless marriage of convenience, a hero who is not a titled gentleman, and a story that was pretty low angst given the storyline. Henrietta (Hetty) needs to marry her father off so he can father an heir. Continue Reading
