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
Review: Keyed Up by Sarah Estep
Keyed Up by Sarah EstepContemporary RomanceMay 4, 2023 Self-published Review by Melanie I discovered this book by sheer stroke of luck while scrolling through Instagram which is extremely unusual since I don’t actually spend a lot of time on Instagram. Somehow, the universe must have known that this book would speak to my personal reading id and check all my boxes. The author had done one of those posts with multiple arrows around the book and labeled each one with specific micro tropes Continue Reading
Review: Kissing My Brother’s Bride by Molly McLain
Kissing My Brother's Bride by Molly McLainThe Kissing Games #1Contemporary RomanceJune 1, 2023- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela I side-eyed the title of this book when I first saw it, and then after realizing it was part of a series, by different authors, revolving around a wedding gone bad, I read the blurb multiple times to see if it would be something I would enjoy. I REALLY wanted to dive into the rest of the series with all their different tropes and shared characters, so I Continue Reading

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.

Review: Heart Stings by Jennifer Estep
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
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

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 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
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
