Smexy’s February TBR

February 5, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

Angela: I have so many books to read this month. So. Many. And I think they are all historical romance for some reason. There are like seven million historical romance books coming out on the 9th. Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins Historical Romance 2/9- Y'all Ms. Bev is an auto-read for me and I've been putting this off so I have it to look forward to. The Duke Heist (The Wild Wynchesters #1) by Erica Ridley Historical Romance 2/9- I was drawn in by the cover and then I 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

Books with Ted Lasso Vibes

December 9, 2020 by Kate 4 Comments

If you're one of the many people on my Twitter timeline who have discovered Ted Lasso over the past few months, you know that it is the perfect pandemic TV. It's an excellent combo of positivity, humor, and wholesomeness and the minute I finished watching the season, I started it at the beginning again. All of that is to say, I started to wonder where I could get similar feelings elsewhere, and of course where did I turn but romance novels? Below is a collection of romance novels (plus a Continue Reading

Smexy’s August TBR

August 3, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

Angela- It's August! I mean it's still 2020, but at least we are inching toward the end of the year. YAY! I'm adding one book that will hit the last week of July to my list because we didn't do a TBR for July and I don't want anyone to forget it's release. Happy almost end of summer! Deal with the Devil (Mercenary Librarians #1) by Kit Rocha 7/28 Fantasy Romance - I practically begged for an ARC for this book, but just when it hit my Kindle I knew I had to hold on to it until the last Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Sajni Patel, K.J. Charles, and Kwana Jackson

May 20, 2020 by Angela 1 Comment

The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni PatelContemporary RomanceMay 12, 2020 by ForeverARC I don't normally do this, but I did read Kini's review before I began writing mine. I was curious what her thoughts were and it appears we had a lot of the same issues with this book. She is spot on with her content warnings... mentions of past sexual abuse, rape, and trauma as well as emotional abuse and slut shaming that had me turning Kindle pages angrily. It was a lot, and I wasn't quite expecting Continue Reading

Smexy’s Mid-Year Update: What we’ve read, what we’ve loved, what’s up next

July 10, 2019 by Angela 11 Comments

Angela: Hey y'all! It's half way into 2019 and Goodreads says I've read 78 books. My goal is 125 this year, so at the moment I'm ahead of schedule. I'm trying to incorporate more books that have been sitting on my TBR shelf into my reading schedule, but I can't seem to stop requesting review ARCs. I have willpower issues, I know this. Lol. As you can see, I'm a genre jumper. I vary rarely read in the same genre two books in a row. I read a ton of fantasy, urban fantasy, science fiction, Continue Reading

May 28, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

A Rogue in the Night by Kelly BowenThe Devils of Dover #3May 28, 2019 by Forever KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS If you've read the first two books in this series you will definitely remember Sir Harland Hayward.

Angela’s Monday Mornings

February 4, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

Any Old Diamonds by KJ CharlesLilywhite Boys #1M/M Historical RomanceJanuary 30, 2019 Self Published  Favorite Quote: "Talk about making a profit on a job. I stole you, and I'm keeping you." I'm always excited when I open a new KJ Charles romance. I'm especially excited when the author herself describes one of the heroes as "more sociopathic than usual" and says the book is based on a real crime. Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes is the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar. He's currently Continue Reading
