Review: The Worst Wedding Date by Pippa Grant

April 13, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Worst Wedding Date by Pippa GrantContemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyApril 13, 2023 - Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela Why yes, I did request this for review as soon as I saw that this author had a super secret only one bed romance releasing this month. Even better, this book is so trope happy- only one bed, enemies to lovers, best friend's brother, opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine... I wouldn't have been surprised if a secret baby subplot had popped up in the last 25%. (It Continue Reading

Rich in Your Love by Pippa GrantTickled Pink #2Contemporary RomancePublished 12/13/22 by MontlakeARC Review by Angela I enjoyed the first book in this series, The One Who Loves You, so much that I snatched up this follow-up when it was offered for review and immediately opened my Kindle to read. Yes, we are back in Tickled Pink with the Lightly family as they work to save their souls and get back their trust funds. Tavi Lightly is a social media influencer and the secret owner of Continue Reading

The One Who Loves You by Pippa GrantTickled Pink #1Contemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyJuly 12, 2022, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Y'all I NEEDED a romantic comedy in my life when I snatched this book up for review. Anyone who's read a Pippa Grant book knows she has a zany, sometimes outrageous brand of humor and some really unique characters. This book is no different. I know with all the cutesy covers floating around Romancelandia nowadays anything labeled as a romantic comedy is Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Beneath the Stairs Jennifer Fawcett and The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant

April 7, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer FawcettGothic Mystery/Suspense2/22/22 by AtriaARC I picked up Beneath the Stairs for two reasons: this is a new to me author and I'm always on the lookout for new authors in genres I enjoy and the summary sounded interesting. This book had everything to keep me engaged... a ramshackle house out in the woods, rumored ghosts of a murdered family, two women haunted by their visit inside the house as young girls, and chapters that skip from past to present-day Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses 5/29- Mini review for books by Meryl Wilsner and Annika Martin and a couple of DNFs’

May 29, 2020 by Kini 1 Comment

I have had a miserable reading week and I DNF’ed 3 books.  Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner- I read this back in January when Berkley so kindly sent me a paperback galley. I really enjoyed it. It is super SLOW burn. But it felt very authentic to the characters. I really enjoyed watching Emma and Jo’s friendship blossom into romantic love. There are little hints throughout the story that even as “friends” they are more than just friends. They each do little things for each other that Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts- The TBR Update

April 9, 2019 by Angela 4 Comments

Hosed (Happy Cat #1) by Pippa Grant and Lili Vanlente- I love Pippa Grant, but I haven't read anything she's written with a writing partner. This one started out slow for me, but the more I read, the more I got into it. It has the signature Pippa Grant zaniness with a sweet romance. There is a small town feel to it complete with nosy neighbors gossiping and everyone knowing everything about everyone's business. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Final Grade- B- America's Continue Reading

Angela’s Monday Mornings

Charming as Puck by Pippa GrantContemporary/Romantic ComedyFebruary 1, 2019 Self Published Favorite Quote: "May we someday find men who love us as much as we love each other." Another super sexy, super fun Pippa Grant hockey romance. This time it's Nick's turn to get his HEA and his heroine, Kami, is his sister's best friend. I really liked this couple! Their relationship starts off page sometime in the last few books. So when the book opens Kami and Nick have already started Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses

December 21, 2018 by Kini 5 Comments

Pilot and the Puck-Up by Pippa Grant- I actually read this a few weeks ago but I forgot about it. It’s been a hectic month, what can I say. Grant can be a little much for me with her meta take on romance and just general over the topness, but I really enjoyed this book. Joey, the heroine was a sarcastic and smart heroine, one of my favorite kinds. Zeus is a not so dumb hockey player. He is instantly smitten with her. I loved the way their relationship builds. Zeus loves Joey for her strengths Continue Reading
