The Wedding Crasher by Mia SosaContemporary RomanceApril 5, 2022, by AvonARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases in 2022. The first book featuring this cast of characters, The Worst Best Man, cracked me up. Seriously, I was laughing out loud at work and sneak reading between clients. I could not put it down. Inject that kind of romantic comedy straight into my veins. The Wedding Crasher features Solange Pereira and Dean Chapman, cousin to the FMC and best Continue Reading
Melinda’s Minis: Sun of a Beach by Mia Sosa and Abel by Katee Robert
Sun of a Beach by Mia SosaContemporaryApril 8, 2021, by AudibleARC This is another audible original, which seems to be more and more of a trend with romance authors.

Naomi began the novella in an ‘I would never date a co-worker’ frame of mind and changed to ‘I am in love’ mindset in the length of 24 hours basically. Donovan changes from Continue Reading
Angela’s Favorites of 2020

This book had it all Continue Reading
Kini’s Favorite Books of 2020
2020 brought us many, many challenges. But the one thing that remained a constant reprieve for me from the challenges were books. I didn’t read as many as I hoped. I didn’t love as many as I usually do, but still the books were there when I needed them. I had a hard time coming up with this list for many reasons. The list doesn’t represent the “best” books but rather the ones I loved the most because they brought me joy and happiness while I read them. In no particular Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Suzanne Enoch and Mia Sosa
Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne EnochWild Wicked Highlanders #2Historical RomanceJanuary 28, 2020 by St. Martin's PressARC I really enjoyed the first book in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series and was more than ready to meet the woman who captured the roguish middle brother Aden's heart.

Aden was his usual charming, wicked self, and Miranda Harris, his future sister-in-law through marriage and the woman who 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
