Scenic Sunday- Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren

June 19, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

I wasn't' a big Christina Lauren fan until THIS BOOK. OMG. Hanna and Will are so dirty, and sweet, and just OMG everything. I loved the way Will fell for Hanna and was just gone for her. I've wanted to do a Scenic Sunday for this book for a while, but my favorite scene is totally NSFW. I miss when this author duo wrote filthy love scenes because they were so fabulous. Anyway, this is the scene right after Hanna and Will have sex at Hanna's parent's house and almost get caught. "Oh, God," she Continue Reading

A sexy, heart-stopping, second chance romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely… Ten years ago, I let the love of my life slip through my fingers when I chose my career over love.

Immediately I Continue Reading

Melinda’s Mini Reviews: No Strings by Lucy Bexley & the Roxane Weary series by Kristen Lepionka

June 17, 2022 by Melinda 1 Comment

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

June 16, 2022 by Kate H. Leave a Comment

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.  Ben has discovered a Continue Reading

June 16, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

Juniper & Thorn by Ava ReidFantasy Horror/ RetellingJune 21, 2022 by Harper VoyagerARC I discovered this author when I read her The Wolf and the Woodsman last year. Her sophomore release, Juniper & Thorn is a retelling of one of Grimm's darker fairytales, The Juniper Tree. Readers meet Marlinchen, the youngest daughter of the last great wizard Zmiy Vashchenko. Tucked into their home, while the city of Oblya grows and changes around them, the three Vashchenko witches take on Continue Reading

Review: How to Fake it in Hollywood by Ava Wilder

June 15, 2022 by Angela 4 Comments

How to Fake it in Hollywood by Ava WilderContemporary RomanceJune 14, 2022 by DellARC Review by Angela The first thing I want to say before getting into the meat of this review is that this is another case of the illustrated cover not accurately reflecting the contents of the book. I went into How to Fake it in Hollywood thinking that it would be a lighter rom-com featuring two actors having to fake a relationship for the tabloids in order to pump up their careers. What I got was a much, Continue Reading

Review: My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey

June 14, 2022 by Iby Leave a Comment

My Killer Vacation by Tessa BaileyContemporary RomanceJune 6, 2022Self-Published Review by Iby I am admittedly a Tessa Bailey fan, especially her newer works. I love the banter and the steam - she has great dynamics between her main characters, and her books tend to be lighthearted and eminently enjoyable. When she said she was writing a murder mystery romance, I knew that I’d be all-in. The set-up: Careful, cautious second-grade teacher Taylor has saved for years to take a vacation in Continue Reading
