March 29, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ CharlesLGBT Historical RomanceFebruary 24, 2021, by KJC Books Yeah, so I'm a KJ Charles fangirl. I admit it. Every new release I just want to grab up and read as soon as it hits my kindle, but on I also want to keep it in my pocket to look forward to when I need a pick me up after a bad day. The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting features the grumpy/sunshine trope to perfection. Robin Loxleigh, Mr. Charm, is in London with his sister in order to secure Continue Reading

Smexy’s March TBR

March 1, 2021 by Angela 9 Comments

Angela: Half of these books I've already read because it's been a hard couple of weeks and I needed comfort. It's also my birthday month and I expect my one-clicking to be out of control. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6) by Deanna Raybourn 3/2 Historical Mystery- Yep, already read it. This was my first read of this year because I love Veronica and Stoker and I couldn't help myself. This was another great installment in one of my favorite series. Review to Continue Reading

Review: The Marriage Game by Sara Desai

July 1, 2020 by Kini Leave a Comment

CW: death of sibling, discussion of secondary character’s relationship that included Intimate Partner Violence, ailing parent This is Desai’s debut, although she was previously published as Sarah Castille. She had some super sexy boxing series that I know I read at least one of those. I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I wasn’t sure if it would skew more women’s fiction than romance. For me it was a good blend of both.  Layla, our female protagonist, is a little down on her Continue Reading

Angela’s Mid-Year Update: My Favorites of 2020 So Far

June 24, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

Cover of Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Contemporary Romance/WF The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- Enemies to lovers is not my favorite trope, but this book worked for me in almost every way. It made me laugh out loud so many times and it was so hard to put it down once I started reading, I even found myself sneak reading at work just to get back to it. I highly recommend if you are looking for a true romantic comedy. See my review here. Beach Read by Emily Henry- This book surprised me in a good way. It wasn't even on my radar Continue Reading

June 10, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

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

Smexy’s June TBR

June 1, 2020 by Angela 5 Comments

Angela- I have so many books on my TBR list this month I've been itching to read. 2020 might be a shit year so far, but some great books have been released. A Dark and Stormy Knight (Victorian Rebels #7) by Kerrigan Byrne 6/2 Historical Romance- Kerrigan Byrne is self-publishing Carlton Morley's book and I am so thankful. I don't think this series would have been complete without it. Dragon Unleashed (Fallen Empire #2) by Grace Draven 6/9 Fantasy Romance- I have been a long time Grace Continue Reading
