Muscled, shirtless hockey player looking to the side

Season's Change by Cait NaryContemporary Romance, LGBTQ+February 1, 2022 by Carina PressARC Review by Kate H. I am not a hockey fan, but I am a fan of hockey romances.  I can’t explain it.  I’ve never even seen a game.  Maybe it’s the way the sheer physicality of hockey juxtaposes with the more intimate aspects of the romance that makes it such a great setting for romance.  Season’s Change, by Cait Nary, is my new favorite in this Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Christina Lauren and Julianna Keyes

March 25, 2020 by Angela 1 Comment

The Honey Don't List by Christina LaurenContemporary RomanceMarch 24, 2020 by Gallery BooksARC Christina Lauren is one of those author duos that I keep on my auto buy list even though their books have gradually moved toward more semi-closed door romance and womens fiction rather than the hotter than hell romances I remember back in the day when they first started publishing together. I miss those down and dirty, filthy love scenes. The Honey Don't List starts out in a way that completely Continue Reading
