The Honey Don't List by Christina LaurenContemporary RomanceMarch 24, 2020 by Gallery BooksARC Christina Lauren is one of those author duos that I keep on my auto buy list even though their books have gradually moved toward more semi-closed door romance and womens fiction rather than the hotter than hell romances I remember back in the day when they first started publishing together. I miss those down and dirty, filthy love scenes. The Honey Don't List starts out in a way that completely Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams and Love Hard by Nalini Singh
Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay AdamsBromance Book Club #2Contemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyMarch 10, 2020 by BerkleyARC I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a bit. Fun, sexy, and I really liked that it was the marriage in trouble trope. We've met both of the main protagonists before as they both appeared in book one. Braden Mack is a club owner and member of the Bromance Book Club and Liv is a pastry chef and Thea's sister. I wasn't a huge Liv fan in the last book, mainly Continue Reading

Review: How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman
How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman Romance Contemporary 2018 Midnight Books Reviewed by Kini I picked this book up after seeing it teased on Twitter.

I love when an author uses this trope and I was curious to see how the power dynamic would be portrayed. It was no squicky at all and worked well for me. Isabel is the CEO of a make-up company and in Continue Reading
Seven Smexy Reasons to read Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh!
Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh Hard Play, #2 9/18/2018 TKA Distribution Review by Sheena You guys. Whatever the lung friendly equivalent to smoking a cigarette is, I'm totally doing it. Because how else do you cap off the reading of such a fulfilling, romantic, decadent, beautiful love story? You see, Rebel Hard was destined to be devoured. Not just because Singh is an auto-read, not just because the cover is yum. The blurb folks; the synopsis sang a siren's song to all of my reader senses. Continue Reading
Six Smexy Reasons to Read Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan
Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan Series: Hoops, #2 Released September 10, 2018 Self Published Review by Sheena: Be braced. I read a book I think is vitally important and I love it and I can’t even think about how to collect myself. I'm really trying to pull it together because you need coherency and all I can think of is the precise angle to just start shoving Block Shot into reader's hands and eyeballing (with intensely raised brows) until they finish it! Annnnd that is probably not the Continue Reading
