January 28, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

His Fresh Start Cowboy by A.M. ArthurWoods Ranch #1LGBTQ Contemporary RomanceJanuary 25, 2022, by Carina PressARC Review by Angela It's been a while since I've read a good cowboy romance and this cover called to me as soon as I saw it while putting together the new release list. I noticed that it was labeled as being first in a series so I decided to jump right in. Come to find out this is actually the first book in a spin-off series, with quite a few of the secondary characters making an Continue Reading

Review: Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall

January 25, 2022 by Kate 2 Comments

Something Fabulous by Alexis HallPublished on January 25, 2022 by MontlakeHistorical Romance Review by Kate Something Fabulous is a sheer delight of a romance novel. It’s a dramatic, gay, fluffy, joyous book that I enjoyed so much I have already re-read the first quarter before even starting this review.  At the beginning of Something Fabulous, Valentine proposes to Belle, who adamantly does not want to marry him. She runs off in the middle of the night (as one does in a Regency Continue Reading

January 19, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

The Best Men by Sarin Bowen and Lauren BlakelyThe Best Men #1LGBTQ Contemporary Romance01/18/2022 Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I've been trying to be good this year and not request every single book I see that looks interesting. But apparently, I have zero willpower because as soon as I read the blurb for this romance between two best men at a wedding and realized it's enemies to lovers AND opposites attract AND there was a touch of forced proximity, I just couldn't help myself. Continue Reading

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

Melinda’s Minis: This is Not the End by Sidney Bell & How to be Good by Chace Verity

February 1, 2021 by Melinda 6 Comments

Thi is Not the End by Sidney BellContemporary Romance/Menage/PolyamoryJanuary 11, 2021, by Carina Press I am always looking for more polyam books, especially ones with heat and emotion. This one delivers on both sides. Anya and Zac are married and have a son, and what works for them in their marriage is for them to have sex - together - with other men. Other people may not understand this but it works for them. Zac’s bandmate, Cal, definitely cannot understand this but both the emotion and 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
