Review: Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban

January 12, 2024 by Kate

Don't Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. AlbanLGBTQ Historical RomancePublished on January 9, 2024 -AvonReviewed by Kate Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend is a delightful sapphic romance novel. It is also a rare romance novel these days that was advertised as something and then delivered on it! Though it touched on some heavy topics at times, it also had lighthearted parts, and it was a quick and fun read.  One of the things that I love about historical romance novels with queer Continue Reading

Celebrating Melinda

January 11, 2024 by Angela

Angela: Melinda was a bright, lovely voice in Romancelandia. I was fortunate to have met and befriended her through Smexy and enjoyed her keen insights and commentary. Sending love and light to all who knew and loved her, she will be greatly missed. Melanie: Melinda, one of the romance community’s most beloved members, passed away in the early hours of January 10, 2024. She was a reviewer, podcaster, and editor. And she was a dear friend to many. My friendship with her began several years Continue Reading

Review: You’re the Duke That I Want by Lenora Bell

January 10, 2024 by Angela

You're the Duke That I Want by Lenora BellHistorical RomanceDecember 28, 2023- AvonARC Review by Angela I really love Lenora Bell and her historical romances--which is why I skipped right over the blurb and just hit the request now button when the ARC became available. I really wish I had read the blurb and some of the early reviews. This is a historical romance based loosely (not really) on the movie Grease. I had my suspicions with the title, the first several chapters, and the Continue Reading
