No Strings by Lucy BexleyLGBTQ Contemporary RomanceJan 11, 2022Purchased Review by Melinda No Strings by Lucy Bexley is genuinely one of the most charming and surprising books I’ve read! The cover may be one of the worst I’ve ever seen so I would never have picked it up without a friend telling me it was 5 stars for her. Elsie is a puppeteer on a kid's TV show that she basically created…but gets next to no credit OR money for. And when the head of the company dies, his daughter Jones Continue Reading
Review: By the Book by G.B. Gordon
By the Book by G.B. Gordon Contemporary Romance/Thriller/LGBTQ+Published June 14th by Carina Press Reviewed by Kate H. I love books that cross genres, but when genre expectations conflict, not all readers will be happy and I’m afraid that may be the case with this novel. By the Book is a m/m romance and a thriller – the tale of a novice accountant, Ben Coyne, and Nick Marshall, a playboy FBI agent coming up against his 40th birthday.

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: When No One Is Watching: A Thriller by Alyssa Cole
My love for Alyssa Cole is well established and I truly think she can write anything but this book blew me away! I know people are going to say wow this book is so timely…and yes; it’s so timely - but not because of the massive protests happening this summer, or the micro and macro aggressions that are being filmed and rightly passed around, or the horrors of police brutality, but because racial injustice and inequality has always been timely in America. What made this Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Suzanne Park and Charlie Donlea
Loathe at First Sight by Suzanne ParkContemporary Romance/Women's FictionAugust 18, 2020 by AvonARC Maybe I read the blurb wrong, but I was kind of expecting an enemies to lovers romantic comedy when I requested this book for review. That is not what this book is, at least not the 25% I read. I'll be honest when I tell you that I didn't like any of these characters. Not a one. The main character, Melody Joo, is a woman working in the gaming industry and excited for the opportunity to Continue Reading
