Review: Husband Material by Alexis Hall
Husband Material by Alexis HallLondon Calling #2LGBT Contemporary RomancePublished August 2, 2022, by Sourcebooks CasablancaReviewed by Kate I’ll admit to being a little wary about Husband Material, being that it is the sequel to Boyfriend Material, which in my opinion is a self-contained romance novel. Husband Material doesn’t feel like what one might expect from a romance novel, but it is still strongly focused on the relationship arc of the characters and ends with a happily ever Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher and A Shattered Silver Crown by Kai Butler
What Moves the Dead by T. KingfisherHorror/FantasyJuly 12, 2022 by Tor NightfireARC T. Kingfisher is known for fantasy and more recently, romantic fantasy, but I believe her horror novels and novellas to be some of her best work. This retelling of Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher is creepy and chilling and well done. Our narrator for this story is retired Lieutenant Alex Easton, who is summoned to the Usher estate by their childhood friend Roderick, on behalf of his dying sister Continue Reading
Review: Fire Season by KD Casey
Fire Season by KD CaseyUnwritten Rules #2LGBTQ RomanceJuly 19, 2022 by Carina Press Review by Kate H. Baseball might be my least favorite sport to read about, but I loved this book.

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Katherine Center and Claire Wilder
It’s beach read season! I have two amazing books- one that’s been out awhile and one that's new. A third book that was just really good. First up, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I LOVED this book! It was released in 2017, but has been enjoying some extra love lately because of Booktok and Reid’s more recent books. I bought this in 2019 and have no idea why it took me so long to read. Evelyn Hugo is a major Old Hollywood bombshell of an actress. She Continue Reading

Melinda’s Mini Reviews: No Strings by Lucy Bexley & the Roxane Weary series by Kristen Lepionka
No Strings by Lucy BexleyLGBTQ Contemporary RomanceJan 11, 2022Purchased Review by Melinda No Strings by Lucy Bexley is genuinely one of the most charming and surprising books I’ve read! The cover may be one of the worst I’ve ever seen so I would never have picked it up without a friend telling me it was 5 stars for her. Elsie is a puppeteer on a kid's TV show that she basically created…but gets next to no credit OR money for. And when the head of the company dies, his daughter Jones Continue Reading
Review: By the Book by G.B. Gordon
By the Book by G.B. Gordon Contemporary Romance/Thriller/LGBTQ+Published June 14th by Carina Press Reviewed by Kate H. I love books that cross genres, but when genre expectations conflict, not all readers will be happy and I’m afraid that may be the case with this novel. By the Book is a m/m romance and a thriller – the tale of a novice accountant, Ben Coyne, and Nick Marshall, a playboy FBI agent coming up against his 40th birthday. Ben has discovered a Continue Reading
