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
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
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
Review- The Halifax Hellions Duet by Alexandra Vasti
You can thank Nick ( @theromancefiend ) on Twitter for these recs. After witnessing much love and gushing about these novellas I decided to go to the author's website and see what all the fuss was about. So glad I did. In Which Margo Halifax Earns Her Shocking Reputation- Let me give you a quick rundown of the tropes this book This was a delightful read, sort of lighthearted and fun. The MMC's internal thoughts made me smile and I loved that the FMC was wild and open and oblivious Continue Reading
Review: Blooded Blade by J.C. Daniels
Blooded Blade by J.C. DanielsThe Colbana Files #8Urban Fantasy12/5/2022- Self PublishedPurchased Review by Angela So I was innocently scrolling through Amazon, compiling books for my new release post, when this book suddenly appeared. And my eyes about popped out of my head. I'd waited five long years for another Kit Colbana adventure and suddenly here it was. Then I realized I didn't remember all of the specifics of the last several books, especially where book 6 (the last book Continue Reading
Review: Broken Lines by Jagger Cole
Broken Lines by Jagger ColeNew Adult RomanceOctober 27, 2022Kindle Unlimited Review by Jen This book wasn’t on my radar at all. Until, someone told me the author was a guy and then I was super intrigued. Plus there's all kinds of delicious trope candy; big age gap, rockstar romance, enemies to lovers, forbidden love in many ways. Jackson Havoc is a huge star. His band is crazy popular. All the guys are friends. When Jackson’s best friend and bandmate dies, Jackson disappears. Continue Reading
Review: How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley
How the Grump Saved Christmas: A Small Town Romance by Claire KingsleyHoliday/Contemporary Romance11/17/2022 - Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I'm not a holiday romance reader at heart. I don't jump all over the holiday releases at the end of the year and if I DO pick one up it's because something in the title or blurb caught my eye, or the cover was appealing. In this case, I was intrigued by the title of this romance. How the Grump Saved Christmas is basically a Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Duke Most Wicked by Lenora Bell and The Heart’s Blood Arrow by Kai Butler
Duke Most Wicked by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #3Historical Romance09/27/22 by AvonARC For some reason, every book in this series has been a slow read for me. Maybe it's the low angst, maybe it's the pacing... I'm not quite sure. It took me a month and a half to finally dig in and finish reading. This is the story of the Duke of Westbury and his sister's music teacher, Viola Beaton. Westbury is rogue and a scoundrel and a wastrel. He pretty much gambles, drinks, and Continue Reading
Review: The Devil Gets His Due by Elizabeth O’Roark
The Devil Gets His Due by Elizabeth O'RoarkThe Devils #4Contemporary RomanceDecember 1, 2022- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela There have been several enemies to lovers, opposites attract romances in this series so far, but now here's one that is also an "omg, we got drunk married in Vegas" combined with an "omg, we are pregnant, what are we going to to do?" If you haven't read the blurb yet, this is Graham and Keely's book, brother to Ben and best friend to Gemma from The Devil Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by A. Deborah Baker and Annette Marie
Into the Windwracked Wilds by A. Deborah BakerThe Up and Under #3YA FantasyOctober 24, 2022, by Tordotcom Another great adventure in the Up and Under. I enjoy this series almost as much as this author's Wayward Children novels. This is the third book following along as Zib and Avery journey along the Improbable Road with their companions, Crow Girl, and Drowned Girl. This might just be their most perilous adventure yet as they find themselves being swallowed up by a prehistoric sea Continue Reading
