November 10, 2022 by Angela 4 Comments

I don't know about you, but the choices in Kindle Unlimited can be daunting to wade through when you are looking for something new to read. Here are a few I enjoyed recently and would recommend. Contemporary: In a Jam by Kate CanterbaryPublished 9/20/22 Marriage of convenience, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine... this romance has it all. After being dumped at the alter only hours before her wedding, Shay is depressed and hiding out in her best friend's house. Then she finds out she has Continue Reading

Review: A Curse of Queens by Amanda Bouchet

October 13, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

A Curse of Queens by Amanda BouchetThe Kingmaker Chronicles #4Fantasy RomanceOctober 4, 2022 by SourcebooksARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review, you should know a few things. First, reading the previous books in this series is a must, don't go into this fourth book in the series and then complain that you are lost. There is an ongoing plot arc and references to previous events leading up to Jo and Flynn going on this epic quest. Secondly, if you are curious about what Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Peculiar Tastes Series: The Captive Merman’s Promise by Zoey Castile and The Fae Queen’s Captive by Sierra Simone

October 7, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Captive Merman's Promise by Zoey CastilePeculiar Tastes #5PNROctober 4, 2022ARC I enjoyed this book immensely. In book four, we are back in the Shadow Market after the diversion into the Void haunted house. This book features a sexy Bruja looking for a way to rid herself of a curse laid upon her family centuries before. The Palacios family was cursed to always lose their lovers, until Amada took the entirety of that curse upon herself. She's been alone for years, never even trying to Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Peculiar Tastes Series: The Death God’s Sacrifice by Jenny Nordbak and The Demon’s Bargain by Katee Robert

October 5, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Kickstarter for this series, Peculiar Tastes, was all over Twitter in July and August and featured a great line-up of authors writing fantasy romance with sizzle. Contributors to the Kickstarter had a choice of bundles with add-ons of great artwork and other goodies. The official release date for the series on Amazon was yesterday, so you'll see my reviews for them this week. Here are the first two books in the series... The Death God's Sacrifice by Jenny NordbakPeculiar Tastes #1Fantasy Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Rin Chupeco, Catriona Ward, and Megan Bannen 

September 15, 2022 by Angela 3 Comments

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

Review: The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen

August 26, 2022 by Melinda 6 Comments

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan BannenFantasyAugust 23, 2022 by Orbit BooksARC Review by: Melinda This book was such an incredible and weird delight to read, I loved it so much. But it has a plot that’s hard to pitch well.  Mercy is an undertaker, and Hart kills zombies and is required to take their bodies to specific funeral homes. The two hate each other from their very first meeting, which was a complete disaster. They both are intensely lonely and end up writing Continue Reading

Review: Ruby Fever (Hidden Legacy #6) by Ilona Andrews

August 23, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

Ruby Fever by Ilona AndrewsHidden Legacy #6Urban Fantasy RomanceAugust 23, 2022, by AvonARC Review by Angela Anyone who knows me knows I am an Ilona Andrews fangirl. I will read anything they write. This husband and wife writing duo is at the very tip-top of my fantasy genre pyramid and I can't get enough. Ruby Fever, Hidden Legacy #6, was my most anticipated book of 2022. So when it hit my Kindle I pushed everything aside and sat down to read, starting right after work and staying up Continue Reading

Review: Dance with the Devil by Kit Rocha

August 17, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

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

Scenic Sunday- A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane

May 29, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

It doesn't matter if this author writes under the name Milla Vane or Meljean Brook, I simply adore every word she pours onto the page. This is a scene toward the end when Maddek finally realizes that Yvenne has been telling him the truth all along. "Maddek!"He reined the horse around to see Yvenne limping toward him, her face still pale and eyes still shadowed, but not in so much pain. She carried a small velvel pouch, and was digging through it--pulling out jewels, strands of gold. As if Continue Reading

Review: The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout

April 14, 2022 by Jen 6 Comments

The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. ArmentroutFantasy RomanceBlue Box PressMarch 15, 2022 Review by Jen Whew…The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a LONG book. I think it was 25 hours!! I’ve listened to every book in this series- with two more to go- and the author changed this one up a bit with dual narration. It stunned me at first when Casteel spoke and low and behold it was a real guy! After the initial shock, I did really enjoy his voice.  There’s been some Continue Reading
