Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Amy Harmon, Hailey Edwards, and Lorraine Heath

August 20, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

The First Girl Child by Amy HarmonFantasyAugust 20, 2019 by 47NorthARC This was a very different book than the previous fantasy releases I've read by this author. I would say that I was expecting more of a romance based fantasy and what I got was more of an epic fantasy with romance woven in. Still overwhelmingly lovely and beautifully written, just not exactly what I was expecting. The First Girl Child is a story of love, power, greed, selflessness, and honor. When a young battle Continue Reading

Smexy’s August TBR

August 2, 2019 by Angela 5 Comments

Angela- I have tons of great ARCs for this month and I want to dig in to all of them right now. The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai 8/6- Alisha Rai is one of my go-to, must-have, auto-buy authors and I love her. This story about two rival dating app creators sounds amazing and I can't wait to read it this week. The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare 8/13- If this book is half as cute as the previous book in this series, The Governess Game, I know I'll be in heaven. The First Girl Child by Amy Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Morning Reflections

August 20, 2018 by Angela Leave a Comment

What I read this week: When a Duke Loves a Woman by Lorraine Heath Sins for All Seasons #2 Historical Romance August 21, 2018 by Avon Favorite Quote: "You are a remarkable woman, Gillie Trewlove. I am a better man for having known you." The second book in the Sins for all Seasons series by Lorraine Heath introduces readers to Gillie Trewlove. One of six children left on Ettie Trewlove's doorstep, she's grown into a smart, savvy business owner who looks out for her neighbors around her Continue Reading

Review: Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath

February 2, 2018 by Mandi 2 Comments

Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath (Sins for All Seasons #1) Released: January 30, 2018 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi First of a new series, and I always love to try out new series but I might not continue with this one. Beyond Scandal and Desire has a great set-up, but it fell flat for me. In the prologue, we have a  gut wrenching seen as our hero takes his newborn son, born to his mistress, away in the middle of the night to a common woman who for a small Continue Reading

Review:Falling Into Bed With a Duke by Lorraine Heath

October 28, 2015 by Mandi 3 Comments

Falling Into Bed With a Duke by Lorraine Heath (The Hellions of Havisham #1) Released: October 27, 2015 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi The heroine steals the show in this book, but let me first talk about our hero, Ashe. (he isn't so shabby himself!) The Duke of Ashebury is a very handsome man. His passion in life is taking brilliant photographs, and it all stems from a very devastating childhood. His parents were killed in a railway accident, leaving him behind to deal Continue Reading

Review: The Duke and The Lady in Red by Lorraine Heath

April 28, 2015 by Mandi 2 Comments

The Duke and the Lady in Red by Lorraine Heath (Scandalous Gentleman of St. James #3) Historical Romance Released: April 28, 2015 Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: " I won't give up." She barely turned when his words froze her on the spot. "I will have you," he said, his voice a whispered promise that caused a shiver of foreboding, a quiver of pleasure to ripple through her. "Because you want it as much as I do." I received this book unsolicited in the mail, and after a Continue Reading

Review: Lord of Temptation by Lorraine Heath

October 15, 2012 by admin 4 Comments

Lord of Temptation by Lorraine Heath (The Lost Lords of Pembrook #2) Released: September 25, 2012 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by May  He didn’t want to be here. He didn’t’ want this. The captain’s huge paw of a hand landed on his shoulder with enough weight to jar him. “I’m called Marlow Have you a name, lad?” “Lo-“ He stopped. He couldn’t tell anyone that he was Lord Tristan Easton, second in line for the dukedom of Keswick. Until they reclaimed their birthright he was only Continue Reading
