In a Rush by Kate CanterbaryContemporary RomanceFebruary 4, 2025- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela Revenge husband for the win! It's always a good day when a new Kate Canterbary romance hits your Kindle. Stepping back into the world of Friendship, RI? Even better.

This is the story of Emme Ahlborg, elementary school Continue Reading

Wedding Dashers by Heather McBreenContemporary RomanceJanuary 28, 2025, by Berkley Review by Melanie There’s an ongoing conversation happening in Romancelandia these days about tropes and the over usage of them to write and sell a book. In reality, tropes can be quite gimmicky and an easy way to market a book.

Review: Only One Bed by Kati Wilde
Only One Bed by Kati WildeContemporary RomanceJanuary 15, 2025- Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela My first thought when I saw that a new Kati Wilde book was coming for the new year was...YAY! An enemies to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed romance was just what I needed. For the most part this book starts out just as expected- with the FMC, Abbie Walker, taking some time for herself, away from her suffocating family, celebrating Christmas alone in an isolated Continue Reading
