The Duke Undone by Joanna LowellHistorical RomanceApril 6, 2021, by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I think the cute, artsy covers have confused me at this point, I just do not know what to expect when I open a book anymore. Joanna Lowell is a new to me author so that was no help either. The Duke Undone is waaaaaay more angsty (like whoa) and filled with dark themes than I expected. This isn't a bad thing, but between the alcoholism, PTSD, dyslexia, family members being locked away against Continue Reading

The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno- GarciaHistorical Romance/FantasyRepub- 04/27/2021 by Tor I'm pretty sure every book I've picked up by this author has been completely different.

An Unexpected Peril by Deanna RaybournVeronica Speedwell #6Historical Mystery March 2, 2021 by BerkleyReviewed by Angela Favorite Quote: You are not among the good that has happened to me. You are the best of all that I have known. You are what I have searched for when I left that house and wandered this earth, boy and man. You are the part of myself I never thought to find because I did not even dare to dream you existed. You are all that I want and more than I deserve, and I will go to Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini-Reviews: Reviews for Books by Rina Kent, Paullina Simons and Vi Keeland
I have a mixed bag of reviews this time. All were good reads, just so VERY different! From mafia and historical fiction to contemporary rom com-ish. First, I discovered Rina Kent last year and devoured her Royal Elite series. All were “A” books for me. When I saw that her newest duet was a mafia theme, I was all in. Throne of Power and Throne of Vengeance feature Rai, who is the twin sister of Reina from Kent’s Lies & Truths duet. You don’t need to read those books ahead of Continue Reading
Review: Waiting for a Scot Like You by Eva Leigh
Waiting for a Scot Like You by Eva Leigh (The Union of Rakes #3)February 23, 2021 by AvonHistorical Romance Review by Kate I will admit, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Waiting for a Scot Like You, the third book in the Union of Rake series. My Fake Rake was too bland for me, and Would I Lie to the Duke was too anxiety-inducing - but Leigh consistently made me fall in love with the characters so I kept at it. Plus, Waiting for a Scot Like You has my favorite trope - a road Continue Reading

Review: The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. George
The Heiress Gets a Duke by Harper St. GeorgeHistorical RomanceJanuary 26, 2021 by Berkley Review by Angela If I'm being completely honest it was the cover for this book that caught my eye and had me requesting for review. I didn't know who the author was or what the book was about, but I wanted to read it. So kudos to the art department at Berkley. AFTER hitting the request button, I did read the blurb. LOL. The Heiress Gets a Duke features a trope that fans of the genre will be Continue Reading
