Shucked by Kate CanterbaryThe Loew Brothers #1Contemporary RomanceAugust 22, 2023- Vesper PressARC Review by Angela Set in the same world as In a Jam, Shucked is a grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, age-gap, best friend's little sister, small-town romance. Yes, that's a lot of tropes, but y'all- IT WORKS. When Sunny Du Jardin wins a dilapidated bait shop in a poker game, she's distressed to find out it's located in her hometown of Friendship, Rhode Island. But she quickly rallies Continue Reading

August 11, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

Cypress Ashes by Kai ButlerSan Amaro Investigations #7LGBTQ+ PNR/Fantasy RomanceJune 19, 2023- Self-PublishedKindle Unlimited This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, the finale for a truly fabulous fantasy series.

Review: Kissing My Soulmate by Evan Grace

Kissing My Soulmate by Evan GraceThe Kissing Games #5Contemporary RomanceAugust 10, 2023- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela I will admit to having a little bit of dread after reading the first chapter of this book. I had really been looking forward to this marriage in trouble, second chance romance which also happened to be the finale of The Kissing Games multi-author series, then I realized what the issue was between the couple and why they were breaking up.

Review: Kissing A Stranger by Lacey Black

July 13, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

Kissing a Stranger by Lacey BlackThe Kissing Games #4July 13, 2023- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela So, uh, this book is quite a bit sexier than the previous installments in this multi-author series. If you've read the whole series so far, you've met Adeline and Decker already. Adeline is a bridesmaid in the wedding that didn't happen, and Decker is a bartender at the resort. I was going to lead that their relationship started with a kiss, just like in the other books, but Decker Continue Reading

From the Grave by Kresley Cole

From the Grave by Kresley ColeYA Urban FantasyApril 18, 2023Valkyrie Press  Review by Jen I need to set this up for you. From the Grave by Kresley Cole is the final book in the Arcana Chronicles series. It’s book seven. This series was, for YEARS, my all-time favorite YA read. I was the BIGGEST FAN EVER. Every book had a major cliffhanger and I waited anxiously for the next one to drop. Book six had an especially huge ending and I was dying for book seven. I love the author and Continue Reading

June 15, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

Kissing the Rival by Kaylee RyanThe Kissing Games #2Contemporary RomanceJune 15, 2023- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela Why, yes, I did start reading this book immediately after finishing the first installment in this multi-author series. Lately, rivals to lovers is my catnip so OF COURSE I had to find out how Jasper and Charlotte's love story played out. And for the most part, it worked for me. If you've read Kissing My Brother's Bride, you know that Charlotte is Audrey's older Continue Reading
