Jen’s Mini Reviews:  Books by Lydia Michaels and Meagan Brandy

June 9, 2022 by Jen Leave a Comment

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

May 27, 2022 by Angela 5 Comments

Second Chance at Riverview Inn by Molly O'KeefeRiverview Inn #5Contemporary RomanceMay 10, 2022 - Self PublishedPurchased Review by Angela I don't think I even saw this book up for pre-order when I scrolled through Amazon while doing the New Release post, but I did see a Twitter post about it on release day and couldn't stop my one-click finger from hitting that buy now button. I haven't read any of the previous books in the Riverview Inn series, but I couldn't resist a romance Continue Reading

The two hooked up at Kate and Drake's wedding and then haven't really Continue Reading

Review: Highway to Hail by Sierra Dean

April 27, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

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

April 7, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

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

March 31, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O'RoarkContemporary RomanceJanuary 20, 2022- Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I have another fabulous KU book for you today! Yay! And it's one I normally wouldn't have looked twice at since I don't like the 'I dated one brother, but now I find myself falling for the other one' trope. 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

February 25, 2022 by Jen 4 Comments

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

Secret is a full werewolf after the events in Peru and she, Desmond, and Lucas are back in New York dealing with the fallout. Now that Lucas is officially back from the dead Secret has two husbands and if the sessions at their counselor are any Continue Reading

Review: The Best Men by Sarina Bowen and Lauren Blakely

January 19, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

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. Continue Reading

The Plight Before Christmas by Kate StewartHoliday FictionDecember 17, 2021, by KLS Press, LLC Review by Jen Many of us are still packing away our Christmas decorations and wondering if those red throw pillows can stick around through Valentine’s Day. I have one last bit of Christmas joy you must read!!
