Capture the Sun by Jessie MihalikStarlight's Shadow #3Science Fiction RomanceJune 20, 2023 by Harper VoyagerARC Review by Angela The third and final book in the Starlight's Shadow science fiction romance series features the crew's daring recovery specialist, Lexi Bowen, and the Valovian teleporter, Nilo Shoren, who once left her standing in a bar by herself while he stole her job.

July 14, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

Eclipse the Moon by Jessie MihalikStarlight's Shadow #2Science Fiction RomanceJuly 12, 2022, by Harper Voyager Review by Angela This author has quickly become one of my absolute favorites in the fantasy/sci-fi genre. When one of her new or upcoming releases hit my Kindle I drop everything and settle in for a rollicking good time. I'm never disappointed. Eclipse the Moon is the second book in this series, which began with Hunt the Stars and the introduction of this world and the now Continue Reading

Hunt the Stars by Jessie MihalikStarlight's Shadow #1Science Fiction RomanceFebruary 1, 2022, by Harper VoyagerARC Review by Angela Y'all. Y'ALL. This author just gets better and better with each new release. I might have mentioned that my addiction of choice in these trying times is fantasy/science fiction romance and whoooboy, was I glad I picked Hunt the Stars up for review because it rocked my socks off. This is the first book in the new Starlight's Shadow series and features both Continue Reading

Angela’s Favorites of 2020

December 30, 2020 by Angela 7 Comments

Contemporary Romance: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- You know that feeling of frustration you get when you are reading a really great book and you are in the middle of a part where you can hardly take your eyes off the page because you need to know what happens next and suddenly life interrupts? That was me reading The Worts Best Man. I did not want to put it down and stuff kept happening that forced me to. Ugh. A fabulous mix of laugh out loud funny, sweet, and sexy. This book had it all Continue Reading

Angela’s Mid-Year Update: My Favorites of 2020 So Far

June 24, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

Cover of Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Contemporary Romance/WF The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- Enemies to lovers is not my favorite trope, but this book worked for me in almost every way. It made me laugh out loud so many times and it was so hard to put it down once I started reading, I even found myself sneak reading at work just to get back to it. I highly recommend if you are looking for a true romantic comedy. See my review here. Beach Read by Emily Henry- This book surprised me in a good way. It wasn't even on my radar Continue Reading

Review: Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik

May 27, 2020 by Angela 2 Comments

Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik Consortium Rebellion #3 Science Fiction Romance May 19, 2020 by Harper Voyager ARC For some reason I didn't realize this series was only a trilogy and Chaos Reigning was the very last book until about halfway in. I'm sure I'd read about that somewhere earlier, but it just didn't register. Now I'm all like NOOOOOOO, give me more! As much as I enjoyed the first book in the series, Polaris Rising, and Ada and her sexy as hell man Loch, I think this might be my Continue Reading

Tourist Attraction (Moose Springs, Alaska #1) by Sarah Morgenthaler 05/05 Contemporary Romance- Grumpy local falls in love with a spunky, kind tourist and it takes place in Alaska? Sign me up. The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Continue Reading

Smexy’s October TBR

October 2, 2019 by Angela 3 Comments

Angela: I actually have a few more, but by the time this posts I'll have already reviewed them. Look for reviews for The Library of the Unwritten, Aurora Blazing, and The Twisted Ones. They all release on 10/1 and were solid, well written reads. Sharpest Sting by Jennifer Estep 10/8- Ms. Estep is self- publishing her Gin Blanco, Elemental Assassins series now and I'm always afraid I'll miss the next release. This is book #18 and I'm eager to find out what Gin, Owen, the gang are up to now. Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Reviews: Sci-Fi/Fantasy Edition

October 1, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

Aurora Blazing by Jessie MihalikThe Consortium Rebellion #2Science Fiction RomanceOctober 1, 2019 by Harper VoyagerARC As I'm sure everyone who reads my reviews (or deals posts every time it goes on sale) by now knows, I ADORED the first book in this series, Polaris Rising. I still get chills when I think of the first meeting between Loch and Ada. And the tension between Ada's sister Bianca the family head of security Ian Bishop left me on greedy for more. I loved the heroine, Bianca. Continue Reading
