The Finest Print by Erin LangstonHistorical RomanceARCSeptember 24, 2024Self-Published Review by Melanie I am nothing if not consistent so it should really come as no surprise to anyone that I absolutely adored The Finest Print, the latest from Erin Langston. I wanted to devour it the second the ARC landed in my ereader but, and this might surprise those who know me well, instead, I savored it, parsing it out in small bite sized nibbles over the course of five days, luxuriating in the Continue Reading
Review: Fret Me Not by Sarah Estep
Fret Me Not by Sarah EstepContemporary RomanceAugust 29, 2024 Self-published Review by Melanie Sarah Estep continues to be one of my favorite author discoveries of 2023 and it should surprise no one that the third installment of her Brunch Bros series manages to capture the tenderness and heat of her first two books and while still making it feel fun and new and completely its own thing. If you’ve read the first two books (and I highly recommend you do, per my reviews of Keyed Up and So Continue Reading
Review: The Broken Kingdom Series, books 1-3 by LJ Andrews
I actually read the spin-off of this series, The Ever Seas, earlier this year and really enjoyed. I've always read a lot of fantasy and romantic fantasy which means I am positively delighted by this romantasy trend.

I didn't realize The Ever Seas series was a spin-off until I got quite a bit into the first book, but I immediately went to the author's page and did a little Continue Reading

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 enjoyed it so much that when I saw the second book up for review I snapped it up Continue Reading

The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa GrantContemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyAugust 1, 2024- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela Whenever I need a bit of a breather from angsty, darker romances I pick up a Pippa Grant romantic comedy. The Secret Hook-Up is listed as being book number six in The Copper Valley Thrusters series, but it's really just an addition into the Pippa Grant Copper Valley universe. There will be many, many, many past characters, across several of her series, who readers Continue Reading
Review: Sanctuary by Ilona Andrews
Sanctuary by Ilona AndrewsWorld of Kate Daniels #15.5Urban FantasyJuly 30, 2024- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela As a fangirl of this author duo, I usually avidly follow any serials posted on their blog, and then read it again as soon as the full, edited version hits Amazon. This being 2024, I had a lot of stuff going on with my life, and a ridiculous review schedule, so I decided to wait until it hit Amazon and read it in full. I was lucky to get an ARC copy of the novella, with Continue Reading
