Apollo, the seeker of information for Olympus, and Cassandra, who works for him and has a deep dislike of the thirteen and the dark underbelly of the city (for reasons). Readers met Minos and his family in the previous installment, now he Continue Reading
Review: You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky
You're a Mean One, Matthew PrinceTimothy JanovskyLGBT Contemporary RomancePublished October 4, 2022, by Sourcebooks Casablanca Reviewed by Kate You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince is a perfectly acceptable Christmas romance novel. It’s a combo of It Happened One Summer and Boyfriend Material, with a splash of Hallmark movie. Luckily, unlike Hallmark Christmas movies, Matthew and his love interest, Hector, do kiss earlier than the last page, for those of you who care about that kind of Continue Reading
Review: A Curse of Queens by Amanda Bouchet
A Curse of Queens by Amanda BouchetThe Kingmaker Chronicles #4Fantasy RomanceOctober 4, 2022 by SourcebooksARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review, you should know a few things. First, reading the previous books in this series is a must, don't go into this fourth book in the series and then complain that you are lost. There is an ongoing plot arc and references to previous events leading up to Jo and Flynn going on this epic quest. Secondly, if you are curious about what Continue Reading
Review: Husband Material by Alexis Hall
Husband Material by Alexis HallLondon Calling #2LGBT Contemporary RomancePublished August 2, 2022, by Sourcebooks CasablancaReviewed by Kate I’ll admit to being a little wary about Husband Material, being that it is the sequel to Boyfriend Material, which in my opinion is a self-contained romance novel. Husband Material doesn’t feel like what one might expect from a romance novel, but it is still strongly focused on the relationship arc of the characters and ends with a happily ever Continue Reading
Review: Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce
Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson PearcePublished July 5, 2022 by Sourcebooks CasablancaContemporary RomanceARC Reviewed by Kate Six Ways to Write a Love Letter is unapologetic Taylor Swift fan fiction in romance novel form. The female main character, Vivi Swan, is an internationally known pop star who is tall, blond, and constantly wears bright red lipstick. The book takes place mostly during her tour, where our male main character, Remy, has been pulled in to play drums Continue Reading
Review: For You & No One Else by Roni Loren
For You & No One Else by Roni LorenSay Everything #3Contemporary RomanceJuly 5, 2022 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Review by Iby Roni Loren writes contemporary romance books with real characters that have heart. For You & No One Else is the third in her latest interconnected stand-alone series set in a co-working space in New Orleans. Even though these could technically be read as stand-alones, I would recommend starting at the beginning, as the epilogue in this book is really Continue Reading
Audio Review: The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill
The Woman in the Library by Sulari GentillSuspenseJune 7, 2022, by SourcebooksAudio ARC Review by Melinda I’m always looking for good thrillers, and I think they can be difficult to find. It takes someone really talented to build the suspense necessary to keep a reader invested in the plot, and then even more difficult to have a twist that no one sees coming. The Woman in the Library does the next to impossible and has high tension, a unique format, and is completely addictive. I Continue Reading
Review: Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert
Wicked Beauty by Katee RobertErotic Science Fiction & FantasyJune 7, 2022Sourcebooks CasablancaDreamscape Media, LLC Review by Jen This series by Katee Robert continues to absolutely delight me! I love this world. Book three, Wicked Beauty, stars Achilles, Patroclus, and Helen. Fair warning on two things- first, it most definitely takes major liberties with the traditional mythology around these characters. Inspired by Greek mythology, but that’s where it ends. And, it’s a Continue Reading
Review: A Most Unusual Duke by Susanna Allen
A Most Unusual Duke by Susanna AllenShapeshifters of the Beau Monde #2Historical PNR12/28/2021 by Sourcebooks Casablanca Review by Iby There was a lot to like about this new-to-me author’s voice and characters. Although this is the second in a series, it was fine to read as a stand-alone. The plot for this historical romance is definitely unique - think home improvement on a rustic British estate, but the duke is actually a werebear shifter and the heroine he is forced to marry is a Continue Reading
Review: Electric Idol by Katee Robert
Electric Idol by Katee RobertFantasy Erotica1/18/2022 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Reviewed by Jen I was so excited to get Electric Idol by Katee Robert. I LOVED Neon Gods and book two features the story of Psyche and Eros. Psyche is the sister of Persephone from book one, and Eros is the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Who, as an aside, is not a nice loving individual. Aphrodite uses Eros to do her dirty work, killing things and such. I continue to really love this Continue Reading
