If you're one of the many people on my Twitter timeline who have discovered Ted Lasso over the past few months, you know that it is the perfect pandemic TV. It's an excellent combo of positivity, humor, and wholesomeness and the minute I finished watching the season, I started it at the beginning again. All of that is to say, I started to wonder where I could get similar feelings elsewhere, and of course where did I turn but romance novels? Below is a collection of romance novels (plus a Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for Love is a Rogue by Lenora Bell and Crazy, Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
Love is a Rogue by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #1Historical RomanceOctober 27, 2020, by AvonARC I simply adored this author's last release and was very excited to get an early copy of this first book in her newest series. Wallflowers vs. Rogues has many of the same characters as her School for Dukes series but seems to be introducing a fresh, new group of Wallflowers/women who want something different for their lives other than balls and shopping and letting men control them. Love is a Continue Reading
Smexy’s October TBR
Angela: Hold on tight... I have a LIST. I feel like every book I want to read this year releases in October. (So many I'm not even going to list them all here.) The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab 10/6 Fantasy- I've actually already read this one, simply because I couldn't resist. AND IT WAS FABULOUS. This is a story of a woman who makes a deal with the devil in order to be free and have nothing holding her down, only she doesn't exactly get what she expects. No one remembers Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams and Love Hard by Nalini Singh
Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay AdamsBromance Book Club #2Contemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyMarch 10, 2020 by BerkleyARC I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a bit. Fun, sexy, and I really liked that it was the marriage in trouble trope. We've met both of the main protagonists before as they both appeared in book one. Braden Mack is a club owner and member of the Bromance Book Club and Liv is a pastry chef and Thea's sister. I wasn't a huge Liv fan in the last book, mainly Continue Reading
Smexy’s March TBR
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
Kini’s Most Anticipated Reads 2020
First I want to mention that almost all of the books that I am excited about are from traditional publishers because they typically release information about new books several months in advance. If you are indie or self publishing a book, we would love to know about it sooner rather than later so we can get it on our radar! Our request form does not require an ARC. Second, most of these books are from the first half of 2020, with a few from the second half as publishing hasn’t released much Continue Reading
Sheena’s Most Anticipated Reads for 2020
I for one am soooo READY to ring in the New Year and (yet again!) embark on my quest to vanquish my TBRs and devour the books I am eagerly anticipating. MY 2020 romance reading forecast promises to be full of contemporary gems, paranormal activity-and I am determined to mark my return, back to my beloved Historicals- my all time fav genre, which took a back seat for me in 2019. My eyeballs are READY: Road to Salvation, Trilogy by Jamie Begley (Last Riders)- Book 1, Gavin's Song is out Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses – Mini reviews for The Bromance Book Club and Eight Kisses- A Hanukkah Anthology
The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams- I read this months ago and really liked it. But I didn’t take any notes and felt like I needed to reread it in order to write a mini review of it. It held up the second time around and actually this time I was less annoyed by some of the things I didn’t like the first read. Here’s what worked for me: It is a marriage in trouble book, one of my favorite tropes. The dialogue is fast-paced and witty. I loved seeing the strong and supportive male Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Mini Reviews: Books by Nina Bocci and Lyssa Kay Adams
The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay AdamsThe Bromance Book Club #1Contemporary RomanceNovember 5, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was a super cute, very original read. The premise of a group of men getting together to form a book club in order to understand the women in their lives better was compelling. This is also a second chance romance, which is my catnip. This couple is married, with twin girls, and are also dealing with frequent separations due to Gavin's job as a MLB player. There is Continue Reading
