Cover Reveal: May Vino & Veritas New Releases

March 25, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

One, I’m a busy executive trying to climb the corporate ladder. Two, my ex is still my dad’s right-hand man in the shop. And I am not over him. Nothing has changed at the Burlington shop. Auden still has his infuriatingly sexy Scottish accent. He’s still hot, and still stubborn. Between operating the antique press with his shirtsleeves rolled up, and moonlighting at Burlington’s hottest inclusive wine bar, he pushes every one of my attraction buttons. My falling-in-love-again buttons, Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Annabelle Greene and Bethany Bennett

October 15, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Vicar and the Rake by Annabelle GreeneSociety of Beasts #1LGBT Historical RomanceOctober 12, 2020 by Carina PressARC I'm always happy to try a debut author, especially in the historical romance genre, so when I spied the cover and read the blurb for The Vicar and the Rake I jumped on the chance to read an early copy. I think this was a strong debut. There was a lot to like about the characters, setting, and backstory of these once close friends who haven't seen each other in years. Continue Reading

Guest Post: Trope Talk by Annabelle Greene

October 9, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Annabelle'e debut romance, The Vicar and the Rake will be published on October 12. Annabelle stopped by to talk about the Forced Proximity trope! Romance as a genre thrives on tropes. They’re the secret sauce of every romance novel, creating reliable reader satisfaction and making sure certain parts of the book stick in your brain long after you’ve finished the final page. When I sat down and decided to write my debut romance, The Vicar and the Rake, choosing what tropes to play with was Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update- Reviews for books by Tracy Lauren, AJ Demas, and Selene Charles

February 12, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

I didn't have any review books for this week so I decided to take a look at my Kindle TBR and KU lists and see what has been languishing unread for awhile. I couldn't decide what of my Kindle Unlimited books to read so I kind of closed my eyes and randomly picked. My finger landed on Tamed by the Troll by Tracy Lauren (The Perished Woods #1). This is a new to me author and I think I added it to my KU because an author on social media recommended. Although I don't remember who that author Continue Reading

November 6, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

Graveyard Shift by Jenn BurkeNot Dead Yet #3M/M Paranormal RomanceNovember 4, 2019 by Carina PressARC This is such a great series, I really do love everything about it. The third book in the Not Dead Yet series, Graveyard Shift, is just as fabulous as the previous two and a wonderful way to end the series. Wes and Hudson have been through some shit in the previous two installments and are now in a loving, happy place. They have finally settled in a home together in the suburbs, business Continue Reading

Q&A with Annabeth Albert

September 17, 2019 by Kini 2 Comments

Annabeth's new novel, Arctic Heat Frozen Hearts #3, releases September 23rd. She stopped by for a Q&A about her the book. Hi! I’m so delighted to be here on one of my all-time favorite blogs with some Q&A  about ARCTIC HEAT, my newest release in the Frozen Hearts series set in Alaska. As with the other two books in the series, this one stands alone fine—there’s only the briefest of mentions of the prior books’ couples and no spoilers. This is my opposites-attract, odd couple Continue Reading

June 13, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

Author Layla Reyne is back on Smexy for some recs for Pride month! Out this week, PRINCE OF KILLERS is book one of my new male/male romantic suspense trilogy, FOG CITY.

These are just a few of my recent favorites that I’d recommend for your Pride Month reading. Top Shelf – Allison Temple – A cover with character, and a Continue Reading

Review: Not Dead Yet by Jenn Burke

February 26, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

Not Dead Yet by Jenn BurkeNot Dead Yet #1Paranormal M/MFebruary 4, 2019 by Carina Press Wes Cooper was dead. Then he wasn’t—though he’s not exactly alive, either. As an immortal not-ghost, he can transition between this world and the otherplane, which makes him the perfect thief for hire. For seventy years he’s made a “living” returning items to their rightful owners, seeing his fair share of the bizarre in the process. But he’s never witnessed murder. Until now. His latest mission brings him Continue Reading
