Smexy’s March TBR
Angela: Half of these books I've already read because it's been a hard couple of weeks and I needed comfort. It's also my birthday month and I expect my one-clicking to be out of control. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6) by Deanna Raybourn 3/2 Historical Mystery- Yep, already read it. This was my first read of this year because I love Veronica and Stoker and I couldn't help myself. This was another great installment in one of my favorite series. Review to Continue Reading
Melinda’s Minis: Learned Behaviors by Jayce Ellis & We Could be Heroes by Mike Chen
Learned Behaviors by Jayce EllisHigher Education #1LBGT Contemporary RomanceNovember 9, 2020 by Carina Press I’m generally not a reader who gravitates to single father stories but this cover drew me in because it’s gorgeous.

Guest post: Writing a character’s coming out by Jayce Ellis
Jayce stopped by to talk about how she approached writing Jeremiah coming out in her new novel, Jeremiah, available now. I came out as pansexual to a few of my friends over drinks, wings, and mumbo sauce. We were so busy laughing and kiki-ing it up that we didn’t even pause for reflection. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure they’d heard me. The next morning, one of them sent a group text. Jayce, did you come out to us last night, or was that my imagination? That was real, but I’m not sure I Continue Reading
Guest Post: Romance Take Two by Sabrina Sol
Second Chance romance is one of my absolute favorite tropes. When I saw that Sabrina is part of an anthology, Do It Again, featuring 5 novellas about second chance, I asked her to write a post about the trope and the anthology. Take it away Sabrina- Is love sweeter the second time around? According to the popular trope known as Second Chance Romance, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” I love a Second Chance Romance because I think the stakes are higher and the main characters have Continue Reading
