October 2, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

"No." She touched her finger to his lips. "I came to you, Lovingdon, because I knew you would be honest with me. Your words and sentiments might be crude, but you have never put a veil of protection between us. Your words reaffirm what I've believed all along. I don't want a man rutting over me. I don't want him thinking, 'Let's get on with this, I need an heir.' I want pleasure. I want him to want to come to my bed. I believe love is the key, which is why I want to find a man who loves me. I Continue Reading

April 30, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno- GarciaHistorical Romance/FantasyRepub- 04/27/2021 by Tor I'm pretty sure every book I've picked up by this author has been completely different. A mix of genres, a mix of tropes, you just never know what you'll get. The Beautiful Ones is what I would describe as a historical romance with a dash of fantasy. This is at its heart a love story. Hector Auvray has come to the city after a decade to win back the heart of the women he desperately loves. Only Continue Reading
