Review: Say You’ll Be Mine by Naina Kumar

January 17, 2024 by Melanie

Say You’ll Be Mine by Naina KumarContemporary Romance January 16, 2024 by Dell Review by Melanie I always find it increasingly difficult to review books that aren’t 5 stars or 1 star but just sort of fall into that middle category that I like to label as forgettably meh or as my friend Melinda would term, “aggressively fine.” The real problem with this book actually lies with me because it’s time I finally admit that I just don’t care about the fake relationship trope in contemporary Continue Reading

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.

And she was a dear friend to many. My friendship with her began several years Continue Reading
