Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray and Sylvie StewartContemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyOctober 26, 2023- Self-PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I've been begging for more mid-life, Gen-X romance, so when I spied this book while doing a new release post I decided it was right up my alley.

Review: Some Winter’s Evening by Erin Langston

November 1, 2023 by Melanie 1 Comment

Some Winter's Evening by Erin LangstonHistorical Romance NovellaNovember 1, 2023Self-published Review by Melanie Here I am, once again ready to wax poetic about an Erin Langston book much the same way Cora Travers is likely to wax poetic about Nate Travers’ dimples while under the influence of too much ratafia. You might recognize Cora and Nate as the two main characters in Langston’s debut full length novel, Forever Your Rogue, a book I read and adored some months ago, to the point that Continue Reading

Review: So Flocked by Sarah Estep

October 25, 2023 by Melanie 1 Comment

So Flocked by Sarah EstepContemporary RomanceOctober 26, 2023Self Published Review by Melanie Discovering a new-to-me author always delights me especially when their authorial voice works for me. I discovered Sarah Estep’s debut, Keyed Up, earlier this year and it was a true rom-com, witty and sharp and full of sexual tension between two incredibly likable MCs. I was hooked by her writing style and when she announced the next book in her Brunch Bros series, it quickly became one of my Continue Reading

The First and Last Adventure of Kit Sawyer by S.E. HarmonLGBTQ Adventure/ Paranormal RomanceJuly 20, 2023- Self-PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela Okay, okay- I totally picked this book up because of the cover. The blurb sounded fun, but mostly because of the cover. This is a new to me author, so I went in blind. All I knew was that I wanted this book to live up to my high expectations after the blurb and cover. I'm happy to report that it absolutely did. The Sawyer family Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Shelley Parker-Chan and Pippa Grant

September 15, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-ChanThe Radiant Emperor #2LGBTQ Historical FantasyAugust 22, 2023- TorARC After absolutely loving the first book in this duology, She Who Becomes the Sun, I was desperate to get my hands on the finale. This book is brutal. The main protagonists are dark and unrelenting in their separate quests- for power, for redemption, and for revenge. These are terrible people who repeatedly do terrible things. The story is told from multiple POVs and Continue Reading
