The Make-Up Test by Jenny L. HoweContemporary RomanceSeptember 13, 2022 by St. Martin's Griffin Review by Melanie Let me just state for the record, that I will die on the hill that romance novels need to end with a HEA (or a HFN, at the very least). I will also state that I love a second chance romance, especially when it comes with a side of grovel novel. This is why it pains me to say I really did not like this book, despite it being second chance romance, and when the end of the book Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Rin Chupeco, Catriona Ward, and Megan Bannen
Silver Under Nightfall by Rin ChupecoLGBTQ FantasyPublished 9/13/2022 by Gallery/Saga PressARC I haven't read a vampire fantasy in a good long while, so when I spied this for review I immediately snapped it up. The first thing you should know is the worldbuilding in Silver Under Nightfall is quite unique for a genre that is full almost to bursting with scary and even sexy men with teeth. This book reads like a regency historical polyam romance with horror and fantasy elements. Lots of Continue Reading
Audio Review: Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins ReidSports FictionRandom House AudioAugust 30, 2022 Review by Jen I LOVED Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid!! I listened to this one and was absolutely addicted from beginning to end. In fact, here’s my headline on TJR’s latest, If Netflix turns this into a limited series, it will do for tennis what The Queen’s Gambit did for Chess. It’s that freaking good! And, could the timing be any better with Serena on her farewell tour and the US Continue Reading
A Year of Ms. Bev
By Melanie Listen, I don’t want to point fingers and assign blame, but I must get this off my chest. Beverly Jenkins has caused me a lot of sleepless nights this year. At the end of 2021, as I was looking back at my reading over the course of the year, I was also thinking about making a reading resolution, one that went a little bit beyond setting a reading goal on Goodreads. I decided to focus a part of this year on reading Ms. Bev’s extensive historical romance backlist. I had already read Continue Reading
Review: Wildfire by Garrett Leigh
Wildfire by Garrett LeighLGBTQIA RomanceSeptember 8, 2022Heart Eyes Press Review by Kate H. Wildfire is Garrett Leigh’s most recent contribution to In Vino Veritas series (an extension of the Vino & Veritas series), which in turn is just part of Sarina Bowen’s World of True North, all set in Vermont. Sounds complicated? The good thing is each book is intended to stand alone, multiple authors write independently for each series, and you can pretty much dip in Continue Reading
