If you're one of the many people on my Twitter timeline who have discovered Ted Lasso over the past few months, you know that it is the perfect pandemic TV. It's an excellent combo of positivity, humor, and wholesomeness and the minute I finished watching the season, I started it at the beginning again. All of that is to say, I started to wonder where I could get similar feelings elsewhere, and of course where did I turn but romance novels? Below is a collection of romance novels (plus a Continue Reading
Review: Wrapped Up in You by Talia Hibbert
Wrapped Up in You by Talia HibbertContemporaryNovember 16, 2020Kobo Originals Reviewed by Kate Favorite quote: "Oh, sex? You think we're having sex? We've never had sex. Although I should be clear, I am hoping we will eventually have sex." He paused. "If she's into that." He paused again. "But that's, like, stage six of the plan. We're still in pre-season, Jase. Stay with me." As much as I have absolutely loved some of the Talia Hibbert that I have read, her books tend to be hit Continue Reading

His Beauty by Jack HarbonPNRNovember 17, 2020, Self PublishedKindle Unlimited This is a fun take on the Beauty and the Beast story we've all heard a million times.

Don't ask me how Harbon pulls this off, because I have Continue Reading
Review: Ties That Tether by Jane Igharo
Ties that Tether by Jane IgharoContemporary RomanceSeptember 29, 2020, by BerkleyAudibleReviewed by Melinda I love reading debuts because I feel like it gives a great glimpse into authors and their writing potential. Ties That Tether is such a strong first novel that I cannot wait to see what else Jane Igharo does. The main theme running throughout the novel is how to deal with cultural differences in a relationship. Azere's family has always stressed the importance of marrying a Nigerian Continue Reading
Review: The Kingdom Duet by Rina Kent
Kingdom Duet: Reign of a King and Rise of a QueenBy Rina KentRomantic SuspenseOctober 29th and November 19thBlackthorn Books, LLC Reviewed by Jen My current addiction is bully romance books. I feel a tinge guilty about it because the behavior in real life would have me screaming “call the cops, this guy scares the crap out of me!” But, since this is between us, I’m confessing my love for this genre. I mention this because while The Kingdom Duet is technically romantic suspense, it is a Continue Reading
Kate’s Minis – Daddy Crush by A. Anders and His Beauty by Jack Harbon
Daddy Crush by A. AndersContemporaryNovember 27, 2020Self-publishedKindle Unlimited Daddy Crush begins with an excellent hook - a woman being pressured by her date to let him in, big "scary" next door neighbor comes over and scares off lesser man, kisses ensue. And I am here for it. But overall, did I feel that Daddy Crush was lacking something? Yes. In my opinion, so much page time was spent on Karl's feelings for Jerusha, plus the fact that her personality shone through so much - full Continue Reading
