Taste of DarknessDarkness #2PNRFirst published July 24, 2014 by KR Press I discovered this series after seeing the first book, Darkness Awakened, featured on Dear Author’s Daily Deals. I picked that one up when I realized it was a second chance love storyline. We all know how much I love that trope. It’s like my crack. I enjoyed it so much that when I saw the second book up for review I snapped it up Continue Reading

Review originally posted in March 2015 by Angela at Fiction Vixen. Bite Me by Shelly LaurenstonPride #9PNRFirst published March 25, 2014 by Brava There is something about this series that keeps me coming back for more. I love the laugh out loud humor, dialogue and crazy over the top characters. I love how Ms. Laurenston has created characters who in human form embody every trait from their animal sides. I love that the woman are just as blood thirsty and scary as their men. And Continue Reading
Review: Primal Mirror (Psy-Changeling Trinity #8) by Nalini Singh
Primal Mirror by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceJuly 23, 2024, by Berkley Review by Melanie A personal note before I start this review: the entire reason I ever picked up a Psy-Changeling book to begin with is because of my friend and former Smexy reviewer, Melinda, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She adored Nalini’s books and was rightfully convinced that I would love the Psy-Changeling series despite my claims that I just didn’t think PNR was for me. To appease her, I picked up Continue Reading
Review: The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood
The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty GreenwoodGhost PNR RomanceJuly 2, 2024 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I have a lot of luck with quirky romances that don't really fit into a specific genre. When I read the blurb for The Love of My Afterlife, I thought that it seemed like something that would be right up my alley. This book starts out when Delphie chokes on a burger and wakes up to find herself in a processing center for the afterlife. There she meets Merritt, her afterlife Continue Reading

Black and Blue by Gena ShowalterOtherworld Assassin #2PNROctober 22, 2013- by Pocket Books I have always been a huge Gena Showalter fan, I love her. Love. She writes amazing snarky, badass heroines and her heroes are all so damaged, snarly and sexy. But the last couple of books I’ve read of hers weren’t ones I wanted to add to my favorites list, they almost seemed kind of off. Like she was taking a new Continue Reading

A decade has passed since the great upheaval and war with the evil archangel who will not be named. The world Continue Reading
