Retro Review: Review: Hooking Up by Helena Hunting

November 14, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Review originally posted 11/14/2017 by Mandi. Hooking Up by Helena HuntingReleased: November 7, 2017Contemporary RomanceSelf Published All I wanted was a nice wedding. Instead I end up with a husband who gets a blow job during our reception – and it’s broadcast to everyone attending. I’ve enjoyed Helena Hunting’s voice in the past – she usually makes me giggle and highlight all of her over-the-top silly quotes. Her books are super fun. Hooking Up is also fun, and a great Continue Reading

Review: Turns of Fate by Anne Bishop

November 12, 2025 by Angela 2 Comments

Turns of Fate by Anne BishopIsle of Wyrd #1Urban FantasyNovember 11, 2025--Ace Review by Angela I don't know what I was expecting when I heard Anne Bishop was releasing the first book in a new series, maybe more of a romantasy since that is all the rage right now. All I knew was that it was written by Anne Bishop and I had to get my hand on a copy. This book is perfect for all the fans of The Others who had hoped for more stories in that world. Turns of Fate revolves around a Continue Reading

Mini Reviews: Our Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport and Last of His Blood by Melissa J Cave

November 6, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Our Vicious Oaths by N.E. DavenportFantasy Romance10/28/2025 by Harper Voyager I've been on a fantasy romance binge this year, so requesting this one for review was a no-brainer. I was prepared for lots of world-building and an introduction to a wide cast of characters, which yes, this does have that. What I was not prepared for was the spice level, which is WOWZA. Like second chapter wowza. I mean, you'll hear absolutely zero complaints from me, but I figured that I should let readers Continue Reading

Retro Review: Touch of Red by Laura Griffin

October 31, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

Originally posted 10/31/2017 by Mandi. Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12)Romantic SuspenseReleased: October 31, 2017Pocket Books This is my favorite romantic suspense series – I’m a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter). Touch of Red is not the creepiest or grittiest of Lauren Griffin’s work, but it’s still enjoyable, even with a slightly annoying Continue Reading
