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
Review: Witch, Please by Ann Aguirre
Witch, Please by Ann AguirreFix-It Witches #1PNRSeptember 7, 2021, by SourcebooksARCReviewed by Melinda I love the concept of this book so much. Contemporary paranormal small town romantic comedy with a magical electronical repair woman and and a bisexual baker. All of that just screams please read me! But the actual execution in the book was a little lacking in areas for me. Things I loved about the book: Danica’s magical ability. Danica is a technomancer, which I love. She’s able to Continue Reading
Review: What if You & Me by Roni Loren
What If You & Me by Roni LorenContemporary RomanceJuly 6, 2021, by Sourcebooks CasablancaAudio ARC Review by Melinda I really love parts of this book so much. This continues the Say Everything series and examines mental health, trauma, and disability in really interesting, yet romantic, ways, and I love all of that. I love that both Andi and Hill felt like real characters, they were fully fleshed out with realistic issues and flaws. Messy characters are my favorites, and these two Continue Reading
Review: Neon Gods by Katee Robert
Neon Gods by Katee RobertDark Olympus #1Contemporary Fantasy/Mythology RetellingsJune 1, 2021, by Sourcebooks CasablancaARCReviewed by Angela After seeing Katee Robert talk about this new series on Twitter I will admit to being intrigued and as I'm always up for any kind of mythology retelling I immediately added it to be TBR list. I'm not sure what sub-genre to classify this book as. Definitely a retelling, and it IS a sort of fantasy since we are talking about Zeus, Hades, Demeter, Continue Reading
Review: Yes And I Love You by Roni Loren
Yes And I Love You by Roni LorenContemporary March 2, 2021, by Sourcebooks Casablanca Review by Melinda Roni Loren's writing in the past has been extremely emotional and well done but her subject matter was dealing with the past trauma of school shooting so I only read one and couldn't read the rest. The Say Anything series has just as much emotional depth but in a completely different way. First of all, I almost completely passed this by as the cover implied that it was maybe a general Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Shipped by Angie Hockman and Mistletoe and Mr. Right and Enjoy the View by Sarah Morgenthaler
Shipped by Angie HockmanContemporary RomanceJanuary 19, 2021 by Gallery As soon as I saw this book compared to both The Unhoneymooners and The Hating Game I knew I had to read. I can see the comparisons. Shipped is a mix of enemies to lovers and forced proximity trope. It wasn't quite as funny as The Unhoneymooners and not quite as angsty as The Hating Game, but for a debut author it's very good and I really enjoyed my time spent reading. The heroine of Shipped is Henley Evans and she Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini Reviews for You Had me At Hola by Alexis Daria, Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay, Fearless by Katie Golding, and The Mall by Megan McCafferty
We made it to Friday y’all. And it is kind of a weird day filled with lots of memories for many of us. Be extra kind and gentle with yourself today. But on to the books. Here is a smattering of books I started and finished recently. I even put them in order of how much I liked them, because why not? You Had me At Hola by Alexis Daria- This book was so good I am not sure I have the words to properly explain it. Beautifully written and engaging from page 1, Daria tells the story of two actors Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler and Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan
The Tourist Attraction by Sarah MorgenthalerMoose Springs, Alaska #1Contemporary RomanceMay 5, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC I think it was the grumpy hero in the blurb that clinched the deal for me as far as snapping up this book for review. I was expecting a fun, easy read and that's exactly what I got. The Tourist Attraction is the book equivalent of a Hallmark movie. Beautiful small town touristy setting, quirky characters, a couple of "awww" inducing pets for comic relief, and a Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Amanda Bouchet and Priscilla Oliveras
Starbreaker by Amanda BouchetEndeavor #2Science Fiction RomanceApril 28, 2020 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Y'all. This was good. So, so good. Like grab you from the first page and keep you reading right up until the last page good. Like stay up until 2:30 in the morning good. (Yes, I did that.) I really enjoyed the first book in the series and was super excited for this next installment, but Ms. Bouchet takes this series to the next level in Starbreaker. For starters, the when the book Continue Reading
