Review: Crowns of Nyaxia duet by Carissa Broadbent

May 18, 2023 by Jen 3 Comments

Crowns of Nyaxia

Crowns of Nyaxia Duet by Carissa BroadbentDark FantasySecond book: April 14, 2023 Review by Jen If you’re a reader of fantasy romance, this duet is definitely for you! I couldn’t wait to read these two books every day and night. They’re SOOO good! Fans of ACOTAR, Blood and Ash, Red Queen and yes…even Hunger Games (with some added spice!) will love it.  Oraya is a human young woman. She has been raised by the vampire king, Vincent, since she was a small child. This is just Continue Reading

Review: Heart Stings by Jennifer Estep

May 12, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

Heart Stings by Jennifer EstepElemental Assassins #19.5Urban FantasyMay 9, 2023- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I have to say that I was worried that we had said goodbye to this world after the last book in the series, but I'm happy that the author has decided to release novellas featuring secondary characters. And I like this very, very much. Heart Stings allows readers to catch up with Lorelei Parker and Hugh Tucker, both prominent figures in the Elemental Assassin series. Continue Reading

Review: The Worst Wedding Date by Pippa Grant

April 13, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Worst Wedding Date by Pippa GrantContemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyApril 13, 2023 - Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela Why yes, I did request this for review as soon as I saw that this author had a super secret only one bed romance releasing this month. Even better, this book is so trope happy- only one bed, enemies to lovers, best friend's brother, opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine... I wouldn't have been surprised if a secret baby subplot had popped up in the last 25%. (It Continue Reading

Review: The Summer We Fell by Elizabeth O’Roark

April 6, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

The Summer We Fell by Elizabeth O'RoarkContemporary RomanceApril 6, 2023- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela I think this is the angstiest romance I've read in quite a while, and yes, that includes this author's other works. The Summer We Fell tells the story of Juliet and Luke, who meet while Juliet lives with her boyfriend, Danny's, family after escaping her dangerous home situation. Luke is the friend from college Danny brings home for the summer. They are more alike than they are Continue Reading

Review: Devil of Dublin by BB Easton

Devil of Dublin by BB Easton

Devil of Dublin by BB EastonMafia Romance/Gothic RomanceSeptember 22, 2022Art by Easton Review by Jen When I think of BB Easton, I immediately go to the Netflix series, Sex/Life. I realize she's written MANY books, but this is always my first thought. I started watching the series with my husband, and just couldn’t stick with it. The eyeball rolls from the hubs were just too much to take for me. Although, there is that one scene. If you know, you know ;) Devil of Dublin by BB Continue Reading

Review: Flawless by Elsie Silver

March 24, 2023 by Jen Leave a Comment

Flawless by Elsie SilverChestnut Springs #1Western RomanceJune 24, 2022- Self Published Review by Jen My bookclub recommended this one and I do love a good cowboy romance. It’s been a beat since I’ve read one and I was ready for it! I’ve also been binging Yellowstone, so I’m totally in the right mind set. Giddy up!  Flawless by Elsie Silver was such an easy, fun read! We’ve got Rhett, a superstar bull rider who is on the older side of the rodeo circuit. Which isn’t saying Continue Reading

Review: Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston

March 23, 2023 by Melanie 2 Comments

Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston Historical Romance February 28, 2023Self-published Review by Melanie Have you ever read a book and it’s so good that every so often, you just have to set the book down and hold it tight to your chest because the words are so wonderful and glorious that you want to savor every last one? And then, when you finally finish the book, your heart almost aches from the beauty of the book and you just KNOW in your heart that you’ll never read another book Continue Reading

Review: Saffron Wilds by Kai Butler

March 10, 2023 by Angela 2 Comments

Saffron Wilds by Kai ButlerSan Amaro Investigations #6LGBTQ Urban FantasyFebruary 28, 2023 - Self Published Review by Angela This is such a fantastic urban fantasy series, that in my opinion, does not get enough attention. Saffron Wilds is the sixth book in the San Amaro Investigations series featuring Parker Ferro, a man who wears many hats... private investigator, consultant for the local police department, and The Windrose to the fae. Parker and his lover, now fiancee, Continue Reading

Review: The Guest With Claws: A Monster Romance by Ella Maven

February 24, 2023 by Angela 4 Comments

The Guest With ClawsMonster/Science Fiction RomanceFebruary 24, 2023- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I love this author's science fiction/alien romances and after seeing the cover for this first installment in an all new monster romance series, I knew I had to add it to my TBR. This beginning was a bit slow for me, as the author set up the worldbuilding and introduced all the new characters. This is a mash-up of science fiction and monster romance, with a John Wick feel, which Continue Reading

Review: The Gorgon Agenda by Lisa Shearin

February 23, 2023 by Kate Leave a Comment

The Gorgon Agenda (SPI Files #8) by Lisa ShearinUrban FantasyReleased January 24, 2023 Reviewed by Kate The Gorgon Agenda is the eighth installment in Lisa Shearin’s SPI Files. There are very few urban fantasy series that I have stuck with as long as this one, and it continues to deliver an enjoyable read each time I pick up the latest installment, including this one.  It is hard in a longer running series to keep things fresh, but The Gorgon Agenda expands on the mythology of Continue Reading
