The Notorious Lord Knightly by Lorraine HeathThe Chessmen: Masters of Seduction #2Historical RomanceJune 27, 2023- Avon Review by Melanie I am a sucker for a second chance romance and for a revenge plot done well and Lorraine Heath’s newest achieves one of those very well and the other one to varying degrees of success.  The FMC of the book, Miss Regina Leyland, has forever lived her life on the outskirts of the English nobility. Born as a result of the extramarital love affair Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday- When the Duke was Wicked by Lorraine Heath

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

Smexy’s September TBR

September 6, 2021 by Angela 5 Comments

Angela: I've already read quite a few of my ARCs for this month, there were just so many I was really looking forward to.

I'm a sucker for a hot cover, okay?!! Anyway, looking forward to diving Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Scoundrel of My Heart by Lorraine Heath

April 30, 2021 by Angela Leave a 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

Smexy’s March TBR

March 2, 2020 by Angela 6 Comments

Angela- Remember last month when I said I had a gazillion books to read this month? I was totally serious. For some reason a crap ton of great books release every March (which also happens to be my birthday month) and every March I overload myself on ARCs I simply must have. Here are just a few of the books I'm most anticipating this month. House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Mass 3/3 Fantasy- As soon as I found out this author was releasing a book in a new series I had to Continue Reading
