Review: Foolish Hearts by Synithia Williams

August 25, 2021 by Melinda Leave a Comment

Foolish Hearts by Synithia WilliamsJackson Falls #4Contemporary RomanceAugust 24, 2021, by HarlequinARC Reviewer: Melinda Foolish Hearts is the 4th in the Jackson Falls series, it’s loosely tied to the previous books but it can stand alone without any issues. I’ve loved this series because it’s just been incredibly soapy with messy characters and complex family drama. I love that Synithia Williams has allowed her characters to be dramatic or troubled or overly angry because those kinds of Continue Reading

Smexy’s August TBR

August 6, 2021 by Angela 6 Comments

Angela- How is it already August? How is school starting already? I have a ton of books on my TBR this month. Hopefully, I won't be distracted by any new ARCs suddenly popping up on my Kindle. Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants (Guild Codex Universe #) by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen 8/6 Urban Fantasy- I really, really love this world. This is the third book featuring Kit Morris and his partner, Lienna. Battle Royal (Palace Insiders #1) by Lucy Parker 8/17 Contemporary Romance- Grumpy Continue Reading

Review: Careless Whispers by Synithia Williams

March 31, 2021 by Melinda Leave a Comment

Careless Whispers by Synithia WilliamsContemporary RomanceMarch 30, 2021 Review by Melinda First of all, this series has the most beautiful covers, I can't stop staring at the forehead touch on this one! And the colors are so gorgeous and exactly how I imagine Elaina and Alex. I've been really looking forward to getting Elaina's story because we've seen glimmers of her in the first two books of the series and it was clear that there was so much going on there. She's been so career-driven Continue Reading

Smexy’s March TBR

March 1, 2021 by Angela 9 Comments

Angela: Half of these books I've already read because it's been a hard couple of weeks and I needed comfort. It's also my birthday month and I expect my one-clicking to be out of control. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6) by Deanna Raybourn 3/2 Historical Mystery- Yep, already read it. This was my first read of this year because I love Veronica and Stoker and I couldn't help myself. This was another great installment in one of my favorite series. Review to Continue Reading

Smexy’s February TBR

February 5, 2021 by Angela 2 Comments

Angela: I have so many books to read this month. So. Many. And I think they are all historical romance for some reason. There are like seven million historical romance books coming out on the 9th. Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins Historical Romance 2/9- Y'all Ms. Bev is an auto-read for me and I've been putting this off so I have it to look forward to. The Duke Heist (The Wild Wynchesters #1) by Erica Ridley Historical Romance 2/9- I was drawn in by the cover and then I Continue Reading

Mini-Reviews: Scandalous Secrets by Synithia Williams and Sweet on You by Carla de Guzman

October 28, 2020 by Angela 1 Comment

Reviews by Melinda Scandalous Secrets by Synithia WilliamsJackson Falls #2Contemporary RomanceAugust 25, 2020 by HQN Books I have just really enjoyed this Jackson Falls series from Synithia Williams so far. It hits all of my soapy vibes that I need every once in a while. This one has a fun twist on the secret baby trope plus has a second chance romance, which I always love. Byron is running for Senate, and in this book, the political maneuvering takes more of the center stage than it did Continue Reading

Did Not Finish Friday

March 6, 2020 by Kini 4 Comments

I like to do an occasional wrap up of books that I did not finish. I am a fickle mood reader and DNFing a book doesn’t necessarily mean it was a bad book, it typically just means it did not work for me at that moment. Sometimes I like to think I will go back and try it again but that has happened maybe twice in all my years of reading/reviewing.  Walk Me Home by Liza Kendall- This was out in January and I tried to read it but I couldn’t get into it. I couldn’t figure out what the story was Continue Reading
