My Killer Vacation by Tessa BaileyContemporary RomanceJune 6, 2022Self-Published Review by Iby I am admittedly a Tessa Bailey fan, especially her newer works. I love the banter and the steam - she has great dynamics between her main characters, and her books tend to be lighthearted and eminently enjoyable. When she said she was writing a murder mystery romance, I knew that I’d be all-in. The set-up: Careful, cautious second-grade teacher Taylor has saved for years to take a vacation in Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Lydia Michaels and Meagan Brandy
Love Me Nots is the third book in the Jasper Falls series. It can be read as a standalone and I haven’t read or listened to the other two books. No issues catching up with characters or complicated backstories. Go for it! I must be on a small-town romance binge because this is the third one in a row for me- and they’ve all been excellent! Perrin is a small town bar owner. She and her sister own the business and Perrin has big plans to expand. She’s also had her fill of heartbreak Continue Reading

Review: Highway to Hail by Sierra Dean
Highway to Hail by Sierra DeanRainchaser #3Urban FantasyApril 26, 2022- Self-publishedARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases this year. The previous installment, Driving Rain, came out in 2017 and left off on a HUGE cliffhanger. So for five years, I've kept my fingers crossed that this author would release another book in this series and put me out of my misery. And now it's finally here! I was kind of worried that with the wait in between releases I would Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Beneath the Stairs Jennifer Fawcett and The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant
Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer FawcettGothic Mystery/Suspense2/22/22 by AtriaARC I picked up Beneath the Stairs for two reasons: this is a new to me author and I'm always on the lookout for new authors in genres I enjoy and the summary sounded interesting. This book had everything to keep me engaged... a ramshackle house out in the woods, rumored ghosts of a murdered family, two women haunted by their visit inside the house as young girls, and chapters that skip from past to present-day Continue Reading

But I'm so glad I took a chance and read this one because it's FABULOUS. Let me introduce you to one of the main characters, Drew Wilson- pop Continue Reading
Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise
I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character. Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading

Review: The Best Men by Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely
The Best Men by Sarin Bowen and Lauren BlakelyThe Best Men #1LGBTQ Contemporary Romance01/18/2022 Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I've been trying to be good this year and not request every single book I see that looks interesting. But apparently, I have zero willpower because as soon as I read the blurb for this romance between two best men at a wedding and realized it's enemies to lovers AND opposites attract AND there was a touch of forced proximity, I just couldn't help myself.
