There is something about a growly alpha hero who convinces a likable heroine to enter into a marriage of convenience that just does it for me. Suzanne Wright’s The Favor does this trope extremely well. Vienna is a spunky, smart survivor who works as a highly competent executive assistant for her boss, Dane. Dane needs a wife to claim an inheritance and convinces Vienna to be his wife. In this scene, someone is trying to sour the relationship between Dane and Vienna by sending some misleading Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Beneath the Stairs Jennifer Fawcett and The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant
Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer FawcettGothic Mystery/Suspense2/22/22 by AtriaARC I picked up Beneath the Stairs for two reasons: this is a new to me author and I'm always on the lookout for new authors in genres I enjoy and the summary sounded interesting. This book had everything to keep me engaged... a ramshackle house out in the woods, rumored ghosts of a murdered family, two women haunted by their visit inside the house as young girls, and chapters that skip from past to present-day Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise
I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character. Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading
Review: Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian’s Vow by Keira Andrews
Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week. And I would be lying if I said it wasn't the word barbarian in the title that first caught my attention. Everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for a sexy barbarian romance. When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- KU Reading Update
Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants (The Guild Codex: Warped Book 3) by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen- Another great book in this world. The Guild Codex; Warped features Kit and his partner, Lienna, and this time they are put on a top-secret kidnapping case by their captain. And it's to track down the criminal known as The Ghost, aka the Crystal Druid, aka Zak. I feel like this is a pivotal book in this series and this world. Readers not only get to see Kit and Lienna, but Zak plays a huge Continue Reading
Angela’s TBR Update
I still have ARCs to read before the end of the year, but I also have a TON of books sitting on my TBR that I've really been looking forward to reading. So I decided to skip some of my must read books, and jump over to my massive TBR list. *All of the titles listed below are available on Kindle Unlimited I discovered Annette Marie's Guild Codex series when it was just Tori and her three mage BFFs fighting the bad guys. This series evolved into quite an exciting, edge of your seat urban Continue Reading
Kate’s Minis – Daddy Crush by A. Anders and His Beauty by Jack Harbon
Daddy Crush by A. AndersContemporaryNovember 27, 2020Self-publishedKindle Unlimited Daddy Crush begins with an excellent hook - a woman being pressured by her date to let him in, big "scary" next door neighbor comes over and scares off lesser man, kisses ensue. And I am here for it. But overall, did I feel that Daddy Crush was lacking something? Yes. In my opinion, so much page time was spent on Karl's feelings for Jerusha, plus the fact that her personality shone through so much - full Continue Reading
