Review: The Best Men by Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely
The Best Men by Sarin Bowen and Lauren BlakelyThe Best Men #1LGBTQ Contemporary Romance01/18/2022 Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I've been trying to be good this year and not request every single book I see that looks interesting. But apparently, I have zero willpower because as soon as I read the blurb for this romance between two best men at a wedding and realized it's enemies to lovers AND opposites attract AND there was a touch of forced proximity, I just couldn't help myself.

Review: Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian’s Vow by Keira Andrews
Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week. And I would be lying if I said it wasn't the word barbarian in the title that first caught my attention. Everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for a sexy barbarian romance. When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini’s: Kingdom of the Cursed by Kerri Maniscalco, Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey, and The Idea of You by Robinne Lee
I loved all of these books, let’s get started. First up…the newest book release, Kingdom of the Cursed by Kerri Maniscalco is book two in the Kingdom of the Wicked series. Book one was terrific, book two…even better!! I listened to both books. The narrator is excellent and it even features some spooky effects and music at key moments, too. They’re both a lot of fun! The romance between Wrath and Emilia is taken up several notches with the latest installment. Emilia is now in the Continue Reading

Review: Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey
Window Shopping by Tessa BaileyHoliday Contemporary RomanceOctober 19, 2021 Self Published Review by Angela First, let me say that I'm not usually a holiday romance reader. I have read them, they just aren't something I read a lot of. But when Tessa Bailey, the queen of the dirty talking hero, says she has a Ted Lasso-inspired, grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract holiday romance... I just can't help myself. I really can't. I don't have the willpower y'all. And I'm really glad I gave in Continue Reading

City of Thorns by C.N. CrawfordThe Demon Queen Trials #1Vampire Romance/PNRAugust 13, 2021 Self Published Review by Jen City of Thorns by C.N. Crawford plays in my reading sweet spot. I’m a big fan of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Blood and Ash, Red Queen, and the Throne of Glass series. The first fantasy series I fell in love with was The Fever Series. I’m still very much Team Jericho Barrons. Swoon.... This book is the first one in the Demon Queen Trials series. Rowen is a very Continue Reading
Review: Heavy by Cate C. Wells
Heavy by Cate C. Wells Contemporary Romance September 15th, 2021, Self Published Reviewed by Melinda Cate C. Wells has this weird magic about her that makes me love a motorcycle club romance every single time and honestly, it confuses me, but I don’t question it at this point! One of the things I think she does so well is take at least one aspect of each book and make it slightly unusual for an MC romance and focus on it. I’ve read all of her books and each one does this so well. In Heavy, Continue Reading
Melinda’s Mini-Reviews: Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston and With You Forever by Chloe Liese
Breaking Badger by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #4Paranormal RomanceAugust 31, 2021KensingtonARC Breaking Badger is the 4th in Shelly Laurenston’s Honey Badger series that I absolutely have loved. They’ve all been books that make me literally laugh out loud to the point that I can’t listen to these books in public because I always get awkward stares. Laurenston’s humor is definitely hit or miss, if you look up her reviews they are filled with either ‘what the hell is this’ or Continue Reading
