Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Amanda Bouchet and Priscilla Oliveras

April 29, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Starbreaker by Amanda BouchetEndeavor #2Science Fiction RomanceApril 28, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Y'all. This was good. So, so good. Like grab you from the first page and keep you reading right up until the last page good. Like stay up until 2:30 in the morning good. (Yes, I did that.) I really enjoyed the first book in the series and was super excited for this next installment, but Ms. Bouchet takes this series to the next level in Starbreaker. For starters, the when the book Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Fantasy/PNR Reviews for books by Shelly Laurenston, Sierra Dean, and MaryJanice Davidson

April 1, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Badger to the Bone by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #3PNRMarch 31, 2020 by KensingtonARC I'm still surprised when I find readers who love PNR, but still haven't picked up a Shelly Laurenston book. I mean if you love zany, laugh out loud humor and a crazy good time, this is the author for you. I won't even get into the plot but suffice it to say it's full of ups and downs and wild and crazy characters. This is Max's story and it begins when she rushes headlong into her own Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Jennifer Estep and A.S. Fenichel

March 18, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Crush the King by Jennifer EstepCrown of Shards #3FantasyMarch 17, 2020 by Harper VoyagerARC Favorite Quote- I had started this journey as a gladiator, and I was going to finish it as one. The finale to the Crown of Shards series was exactly what I hoped it would be. What began as a young, seemingly insignificant, woman witnessing the annihilation of her entire family line ends with a queen avenging their deaths and crushing her enemies. At her side are her friends, family, and consort Continue Reading

Kini’s Most Anticipated Reads 2020 

January 2, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

First I want to mention that almost all of the books that I am excited about are from traditional publishers because they typically release information about new books several months in advance. If you are indie or self publishing a book, we would love to know about it sooner rather than later so we can get it on our radar! Our request form does not require an ARC. Second, most of these books are from the first half of 2020, with a few from the second half as publishing hasn’t released much Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses

August 30, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

This week I have mini reviews for three books by new to me authors. The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken- I rarely read outside contemporary but when Jane, the Kensington publicist, told me about this book I felt compelled to read it. She described it as feminist and humorous with a kick ass heroine and a shifter/centaur hero. All of those things are correct. Seriously, a sure fire way to sell me on a book is to tell me that it is feminist. The heroine, Keeley is a magnificent blacksmith Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: The Blacksmith Queen by GA Aiken and Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews

August 27, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

The Blacksmith Queen by GA AikenThe Scarred Earth Saga #1Fantasy RomanceAugust 27, 2019 by KensingtonARC The Blacksmith Queen was just what I needed last week. If you are familiar with GA Aiken/Shelly Laurenston then you know how much humor and zaniness are packed into her storytelling. Her over the top characters, the wonderful, sometimes bloody and violent, yet loyal extended family, the broad, interesting worldbuilding, and the fierce women who are the center of everything. THIS IS BOOK Continue Reading

Review: A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev

January 4, 2018 by Mandi 3 Comments

A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev Released: December 26, 2017 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi I have a love affair with Sonali Dev's books. She writes such good words. Words that usually completely break my heart (it's still broken after reading A Change of Heart) but she repairs it and gives us a shiny HEA at the end with all the smiles. The heroine in this book, Kimi, literally has a broken heart. A lifelong heart condition that keeps her sick most of her youth in Continue Reading

Review: A Crazy Kind Of Love by Mary Ann Marlowe

November 27, 2017 by Tori Leave a Comment

A Crazy Kind of Love by Mary Ann Marlowe Contemporary Romance November 28, 2017 Kensington Publishing Reviewed by Tori Jo Wilder is a tabloid photographer whose reluctance to exploit celebrity lives may lead to her unemployment if she doesn’t develop a tougher skin. When a much-needed celebrity sighting is interrupted by a bystander, Jo tries to be angry but he is far too handsome and charming for her to hold her ire. When she later learns he is the Micah Sinclair, the current bad boy Continue Reading

Review: The Reunion by Sara Portman

September 27, 2017 by Mandi 1 Comment

The Reunion by Sara Portman (Brides of Beadwell #1) Released: September 26, 2017 Historical Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed debut author Sara Portman's book, The Reunion. Smart, mature characters (well, one immature side character I grew to like), a sexy hero, and a heroine who I adored. Four years prior to the book starting, seventeen year old Lady Emma, was forced into an engagement to a man whom she barely knew. This man, our hero John, took one look at the Continue Reading

Review: A Hero to Love by Gail Chianese

August 23, 2017 by Mandi Leave a Comment

A Hero to Love by Gail Chianese (Changing Tides #2) Released: August 22, 2017 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi The blurb to this one really drew me in: Navy Chief Master at Arms Jackson “Jax” Faraday is at a crossroads. He has to decide whether to reenlist or get out while he’s young enough to make a difference in the civilian world. Either choice could mean leaving behind his girl: his K-9 partner, Bella. But when she’s injured during a training session, Jax’s only Continue Reading
