His Beauty by Jack HarbonPNRNovember 17, 2020, Self PublishedKindle Unlimited This is a fun take on the Beauty and the Beast story we've all heard a million times. Yes, Isla goes to rescue her father from the evil Beast and has to stay there in his stead so he can go home. And yes, Isla talks to the servants and is reluctant to interact with the Beast aka Lowen. However, this version is STEAMY. And Lowen stays a beast the entire time. Don't ask me how Harbon pulls this off, because I have Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Sun by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Sun by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #13PNR/ Urban Fantasy RomanceNovember 24, 2020, by Berkley ARC Reviewed by Angela I remembered being SO EXCITED when it was announced that Titus and Sharine, better known in this series as The Hummingbird, would be the featured couple in the next Guild Hunter novel. As much as I adore this author's Psy/Changeling series, I can't get enough of her Archangels and the world they live in. I simply adore The Guild Hunter world. The Hummingbird Continue Reading
Melinda’s Minis – The Love Study by Kris Ripper and The Tenant by Katrina Jackson
The Love Study by Kris RipperContemporarySeptember 9, 2020 by CarinaHoopla Audio Kris Ripper has such a unique voice so I was looking forward to this book and wasn't disappointed at all. The Love Study is filled with awkwardness and I'm such a sucker for that in romance. This book explores so much about what does a romantic relationship *need* to look like to actually still be a romance? I loved so much how Declan and Sidney begin the story trying to find someone for Dec to date and have Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Alpha Night by Nalini Singh and The Marriage Game by Sara Desai
Alpha Night by Nalini SinghPsy-Changeling Trinity #4Paranormal RomanceJune 9, 2020 by BerkleyARC Let me start this review by saying that I love this author and will read anything she writes. Literally anything. I was super excited when I read the blurb for Alpha Night and realized it would feature an Alpha wolf and Arrow pairing. What I didn't realize until I first started reading was that this couple falls into a mating at first sight. And instalove is probably my least favorite trope. Continue Reading
Guest Post: How I Incorporated Supernatural into my Magic in Manhattan series by Allie Therin
Allie Therin's new book, Starcrossed, it out today. She stopped by to talk about the book. Thanks Allie! When Smexy Books invited me to blog on incorporating the supernatural into my Magic in Manhattan series, the first thing I thought of was my recent privilege of speaking to author Dana Staves’s class about my (still very new!) experiences with publishing. They asked great questions, including whether I thought world-building/fantasy elements have their own development arc the way the Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Fantasy/PNR Reviews for books by Shelly Laurenston, Sierra Dean, and MaryJanice Davidson
Badger to the Bone by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #3PNRMarch 31, 2020 by KensingtonARC I'm still surprised when I find readers who love PNR, but still haven't picked up a Shelly Laurenston book. I mean if you love zany, laugh out loud humor and a crazy good time, this is the author for you. I won't even get into the plot but suffice it to say it's full of ups and downs and wild and crazy characters. This is Max's story and it begins when she rushes headlong into her own Continue Reading
Angela’s TBR Update- Reviews for books by Tracy Lauren, AJ Demas, and Selene Charles
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
Review: Graveyard Shift by Jenn Burke
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

I feel like this series has evolved from a good series to an excellent series to a badass, hell yeah, EPIC series. Archangel's War is epic in all the best ways and everything I needed it to be. I know fans of this series were shocked speechless with the cliffhanger ending of the previous book in the series, Continue Reading

Review by Helyce - I’m back!Death of Darkness by Dianne DuvallImmortal Guardians #9Paranormal RomanceAugust 20, 2019 I have been waiting 8 years for Seth’s book.

One of a small group of beings referred to as The Others, Seth defected from them years and years ago when he fell in love with a human woman. In present day, he leads his Guardians to Continue Reading
