Review originally posted in May of 2013 on Fiction Vixen by Angela. Love Only Survives by Renee CharlesDystopia/Fantasy RomancePublished May 24, 2013 by Wild Rose Press Only Love Survives is a typical girl meets boy love story set against a zombie plague. Lol, okay so it’s not so typical, and this is the exact reason I picked it for review. I recently read another zombie romance that I really enjoyed and was excited to find another release by a different author set in a dystopian Continue Reading

Audio Review: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin
The Ferryman by Justin CroninDystopian Science FictionRandom House AudioMay 2, 2023 Review by Jen A friend recommended The Ferryman by Justin Cronin and while SciFi isn’t my normal go to read, I was intrigued. I’m SO glad I gave this a listen. I’m still thinking about it, working through the twists and turns in my head. I can’t get into the story too much, because so much of the fun is the surprises that happen towards the end of the book. The gist is Continue Reading

Dance with the Devil by Kit RochaMercenary Librarians #3Dystopia/Fantasy RomanceAugust 16, 2022, by TorARC Review by Angela I'm always excited for another Kit Rocha book, but my anticipation for Dani and Rafe's book was sky high. These two gorgeous, yet deadly characters seemed to be engaged in a 'will they or won't they?' dance over the last two books. The Mercenary Librarians is a spin-off of the Beyond series, but if you haven't read the previous series don't worry, Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini-Reviews: Books by Lexi C. Foss, Cate C. Wells, Emma Chase and Elena Armas
All of these books were really good! I love it when I’m on a reading streak. First up, I stayed up very late reading Winter’s Arrow by Lexi C. Foss. This is the second book in the X-Clan (Omegaverse universe) series, which is part of the Zombie Year 2099 world. I had no clue what that was until I read this book. Now I am intrigued to read more. Winter’s Arrow can be read as a standalone. I have book three tee’d up for tonight. The world is post apocalypse, where there are shifters Continue Reading

Donovan and Naomi are given an assignment for the swimsuit edition of the magazine they work on and things are interesting since they dislike each other. Naomi began the novella in an ‘I would never date a co-worker’ frame of mind and changed to ‘I am in love’ mindset in the length of 24 hours basically. Donovan changes from Continue Reading

They may have made you, but what you do with that will always be your choice. Deal with the Devil is the first book in Kit Rocha's new Mercenary Librarians series. This is also their first book that I've read that wasn't self-published and when I tell you I had to practically beg for a copy, I'm not Continue Reading
Guest Post: Themes in A Paradox of Fates by Rebecca Hefner
Rebecca's new book, A Paradox of Fates, Sci-Fi Romance, Dystopian Romance is out now. She stopped by to talk about the themes in the book. I always knew I’d write a romance about a theoretical physicist female protagonist one day. Why? Because to me, a self-proclaimed science dork, there’s nothing sexier than science. It can explain in exact terms why certain parts of our bodies flush with desire when being held in the arms of a lover. It also leads to a shared understanding Continue Reading
