It’s been a slow reading week for me which is a shame after the excitement I had over Polaris Rising. I started Crazy On You by Crystal B. Bright which I listed on my February TBR and it was a disappointment. The heroine, Tassia, made a lot of assumptions about everything but especially the hero and I just couldn’t handle it. The hero, Hyde, kept going back and forth about a thing I needed that to stop as well. They were both annoying me and because of that, I wasn’t feeling their chemistry Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings
Any Old Diamonds by KJ CharlesLilywhite Boys #1M/M Historical RomanceJanuary 30, 2019 Self Published Favorite Quote: "Talk about making a profit on a job. I stole you, and I'm keeping you." I'm always excited when I open a new KJ Charles romance. I'm especially excited when the author herself describes one of the heroes as "more sociopathic than usual" and says the book is based on a real crime. Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes is the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar. He's currently Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings (Afternoon Edition)
99 Percent Mine by Sally ThorneContemporary RomanceJanuary 29, 2019 by William Morrow Favorite Quote: I say up to the ceiling, "Tell me I smell right." He senses the uncertainty underlying my sharp order. "You smell like the only person." Sally Thorne's sophomore release has garnered mixed reviews. I've seen quite a few people who loved it and some who had a hard time getting into the flow of the story. And I can see why. The first two chapters are disjointed and kind of odd. I Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday!
Sundays are for brunch...and a little booty if you've joined me today for our weekly saucy snippet! Leslie North writes super fun sexy novellas that she releases rapid fire to my utter pleasure. These short escapes are fun in the most frisky way so when I saw the new North endorsed novel by Katie Knight, I nabbed it right away. I was a little concerned by the title, I assumed it would be about some jacked Seal and some barely grown young woman he was "responsible" for, and I almost never- Continue Reading
