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

Guest Post: Lingerie Influencers and Brands Who Inspire by Erin McLellan

February 10, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

In my most recent release, Candy Hearts, one of the heroes, Benji, loves wearing lingerie and sexy undergarments. This is part of his self-expression, and he was a very fun character to write. He has connections to a lingerie company in the story. His sister (the heroine of Stocking Stuffers) is head of marketing for a lingerie and sex toy company, and one of the other side characters in this story is a lingerie designer. Benji wears lingerie throughout the story, and by the end of the book, he Continue Reading

Guest Post: Amy Aislin talks about preparing a book for release

January 10, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

Thank you for joining me to celebrate the release of my newest m/m sports romance, Shots on Goal (Stick Side #3), and thank you to Smexy Books for allowing me to briefly take over the blog! Shots on Goal is the third book in the Stick Side series. Each novel features different main characters and can be read as standalones. Shots has a prickly NHL player who cooks his way into his teammates’ good graces, and an optimistic college senior trying to save his local library. Shots was Continue Reading

Guest Post: Writing Cute Smut by Rachel Reid

January 9, 2020 by Kini 3 Comments

We already had a post planned for Rachel to talk about "cute smut" and I saw this tweet from Rachel and I practically begged Stephanie at Carina to ask Rachel to expand on this tweet in her post. Thank you Stephanie and Rachel for this post. (Side note, I will have a mini-review for Tough Guy tomorrow) Ryan was pretty sure he had an ugly dick. That was the first line I wrote of the third book in my Game Changers series, Tough Guy. It didn’t end up being the first line of the book, but it Continue Reading

Guest post: Writing a character’s coming out by Jayce Ellis

January 6, 2020 by Kini 2 Comments

Jayce stopped by to talk about how she approached writing Jeremiah coming out in her new novel, Jeremiah, available now. I came out as pansexual to a few of my friends over drinks, wings, and mumbo sauce. We were so busy laughing and kiki-ing it up that we didn’t even pause for reflection. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure they’d heard me. The next morning, one of them sent a group text. Jayce, did you come out to us last night, or was that my imagination? That was real, but I’m not sure I Continue Reading

Excerpt: An Elf to Myself by Emy Calirel

December 17, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

Author Emy Calirel was kind enough to share an excerpt An Elf to Myself which is available now. The last thing Wilhelm expects to find at Michaels, three days before Christmas and in search of a gift to make for his niece, is one of Santa’s elves—a cute one with a wicked, inappropriate sense of humor and a kinky streak. Alabastair may have been kicked out of Santa’s village, but he’s still a Christmas expert. And he’s determined to give Wilhelm and his family the best holiday he 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

Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore and Lord of the Last Heartbeat by May Peterson

September 3, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

Bringing Down the Duke by Evie DunmoreA League of Extraordinary Women #1Historical Romance September 3, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was a pleasant surprise! I love it when a debut author exceeds my expectations and leaves me looking forward to the next release in the series. Bringing Down the Duke is set in the late 1800s, and features a heroine who has secured a scholarship to Oxford and is involved in the suffrage movement in England. She, quite by accident and without knowing his Continue Reading
