Badger to the Bone by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #3PNRMarch 31, 2020 by KensingtonARC I'm still surprised when I find readers who love PNR, but still haven't picked up a Shelly Laurenston book. I mean if you love zany, laugh out loud humor and a crazy good time, this is the author for you. I won't even get into the plot but suffice it to say it's full of ups and downs and wild and crazy characters. This is Max's story and it begins when she rushes headlong into her own Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update- Reviews for books by Tracy Lauren, AJ Demas, and Selene Charles
I didn't have any review books for this week so I decided to take a look at my Kindle TBR and KU lists and see what has been languishing unread for awhile. I couldn't decide what of my Kindle Unlimited books to read so I kind of closed my eyes and randomly picked. My finger landed on Tamed by the Troll by Tracy Lauren (The Perished Woods #1). This is a new to me author and I think I added it to my KU because an author on social media recommended. Although I don't remember who that author Continue Reading
Angela’s TBR Update- Mini Reviews for books by Hailey Edwards, Ann Aguirre, and Ilona Andrews
All of the books in this post I either purchased or were available in KU. All are also self-published. Sweep With Me (Innkeeper Chronicles #4.5) by Ilona Andrews 01/14/2020- I love Ilona Andrews and I especially love this series, so of course I one-clicked the pre-order button when I saw that I was releasing right after the new year. Sweep With Me is a novella length addition to the Innkeeper Chronicles and features Dina, Sean, and Gertrude Hunt. As with any Ilona Andrews book, Continue Reading
Angela’s TBR Mini Reviews- Books by Kerrigan Byrne, Hailey Edwards, and Annette Marie
Slaying Monsters for the Feeble (Guild Codex: Demonized #2) by Annette Marie 11/1- I discovered this author on KU and have really enjoyed her writing. The Guild Codex: Demonized is actually a spin-off from the original series, Guild Codex: Spellbound. The main character of Demonized is introduced several books into the Spellbound series and I was hooked as soon as I met her on page. Now I think I enjoy her series even more than the original. I love the dynamics between Robin and her Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Reviews: Sci-Fi/Fantasy Edition
Aurora Blazing by Jessie MihalikThe Consortium Rebellion #2Science Fiction RomanceOctober 1, 2019 by Harper VoyagerARC As I'm sure everyone who reads my reviews (or deals posts every time it goes on sale) by now knows, I ADORED the first book in this series, Polaris Rising. I still get chills when I think of the first meeting between Loch and Ada. And the tension between Ada's sister Bianca the family head of security Ian Bishop left me on greedy for more. I loved the heroine, Bianca. Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: The Blacksmith Queen by GA Aiken and Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews
The Blacksmith Queen by GA AikenThe Scarred Earth Saga #1Fantasy RomanceAugust 27, 2019 by KensingtonARC The Blacksmith Queen was just what I needed last week. If you are familiar with GA Aiken/Shelly Laurenston then you know how much humor and zaniness are packed into her storytelling. Her over the top characters, the wonderful, sometimes bloody and violent, yet loyal extended family, the broad, interesting worldbuilding, and the fierce women who are the center of everything. THIS IS BOOK Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday ARC Reviews: Amy Harmon, Hailey Edwards, and Lorraine Heath
The First Girl Child by Amy HarmonFantasyAugust 20, 2019 by 47NorthARC This was a very different book than the previous fantasy releases I've read by this author. I would say that I was expecting more of a romance based fantasy and what I got was more of an epic fantasy with romance woven in. Still overwhelmingly lovely and beautifully written, just not exactly what I was expecting. The First Girl Child is a story of love, power, greed, selflessness, and honor. When a young battle Continue Reading

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa DareGirl Meets Duke #3Historical RomanceAugust 13, 2019 by AvonARC Tessa Dare is one of my auto-buy historical romance authors. I don't even need to read a blurb or know what the book is about to put it on my TBR list. The Wallflower Wager is the third book in her Girl Meets Duke series and I absolutely adored the two previous installments. Lady Penelope Campion had a softness for animals. Gabe had no softness at all. The Wallflower Wager features Lady Continue Reading
