Review: The Cursed Horde King by Zoey Draven

December 10, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

The Cursed Horde King by Zoey DravenHordes of the Elthika #2Sci-Fi/Fantasy RomanceDecember 9, 2025- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela I am an absolute sucker for Zoey Draven books. After discovering her Horde Kings of Dakkar series, I went back and glommed her entire backlist. Now I follow her on social media and wait with bated breath, hoping to see updates about release dates for new books. I was beyond thrilled when she announced that the world of Dakkar would continue, albeit Continue Reading

April 2, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

Hunger in His Blood by Zoey DravenBrides of the Kylorr #3Fantasy/Science Fiction RomanceApril 1, 2025- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela Look, I'm always, ALWAYS up for a new Zoey Draven book, but add in a rejected mate, surprise pregnancy storyline with angst, and lots of groveling by the MMC when he realizes he messed up and made the mistake of his life? Oh, hell yeah. And I'm not even a fan of the surprise baby trope. This book features Kaldur of House Kaalium, High Lord of Continue Reading

Review: The Horde King of Shadow by Zoey Draven

November 27, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

The Horde King of Shadow by Zoey DravenHordes of the Elthika #1Science Fiction/Fantasy RomanceNovember 26, 2024- Self Published Review by Angela When Zoey Draven announced that her new series would take place in the same world as her Horde Kings of Dakkar series, yet set several centuries in the future, I wondered how it would all fit together with the original world-building. And the answer is, perfectly. This new series features a woman, Klara, who also happens to be a princess Continue Reading

May 9, 2024 by Angela 2 Comments

The Lovely Dark: A Monster Romance AnthologyParanormal Romance/Fantasy RomanceApril 23, 2024- Self PublishedPurchased- Available in Kindle Unlimited Review by Angela Wave Song by Emma Hamm I've circled around this author on Amazon when looking up fantasy or paranormal romance. I figured this would be the perfect time to see if her writing appealed to me. This is a merman/human fantasy romance, set in a dystopian type of world. The FMC, Alys, meets the MMC while traveling under Continue Reading

I don't know about you, but the choices in Kindle Unlimited can be daunting to wade through when you are looking for something new to read. Here are a few I enjoyed recently and would recommend.

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Cate C. Wells, Zoey Draven and Elle Kennedy

September 28, 2022 by Jen 3 Comments

I have to giggle a bit when I think of the title of the Cate C. Wells book I just finished. It’s The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate. This was a really fun crackalicious read. You get the story from the title. We have a rejected mate plot with the major alpha male shifter. But there’s a twist! Una is the FMC. When she was young, Una protected a young wolf from an attack and nearly died. Because of the beating she took, she has an injured leg that never healed properly. She’s a single wolf who Continue Reading

Jen’s Mini-Reviews: Books by TL Swan, Ruby Dixon, Zoey Draven and Sophie Lark

September 17, 2021 by Jen Leave a Comment

My current reading tastes can be summed up with billionaires, mafia, and aliens.  First up- I think this was my favorite audiobook of recent months. I LOVED The Casanova by TL Swan. I’ve enjoyed the entire series, but this one had it all and the performance was terrific. I heard the term “suit porn” said in an English accent and I am trying to find ways to use it daily. What’s this fun enemies to lovers trope about? Elliott Miles, third brother in the hot Miles brother pack who owns Miles Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update

December 14, 2020 by Angela 3 Comments

I still have ARCs to read before the end of the year, but I also have a TON of books sitting on my TBR that I've really been looking forward to reading. So I decided to skip some of my must read books, and jump over to my massive TBR list. *All of the titles listed below are available on Kindle Unlimited I discovered Annette Marie's Guild Codex series when it was just Tori and her three mage BFFs fighting the bad guys. This series evolved into quite an exciting, edge of your seat urban Continue Reading

Smexy’s August TBR

August 3, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

Angela- It's August! I mean it's still 2020, but at least we are inching toward the end of the year. YAY! I'm adding one book that will hit the last week of July to my list because we didn't do a TBR for July and I don't want anyone to forget it's release. Happy almost end of summer! Deal with the Devil (Mercenary Librarians #1) by Kit Rocha 7/28 Fantasy Romance - I practically begged for an ARC for this book, but just when it hit my Kindle I knew I had to hold on to it until the last Continue Reading
