Freed by E.L. James50 Shades as Told by Christian #3Contemporary June 1, 2021, by Bloom BooksReview by Jen Freed by E L James is the third book in the 50 Shades series told from the voice of Christian Grey. Let me set the stage, 50 Shades came out in 2011 and I read the series three times. I read it the first time because I was seeing it quietly posted about in some forums and blogs. I could tell it was going to be a big thing. Women were gushing about it, but a bit embarrassed that they Continue Reading
Backlist Review: You First by J.C. Lillis
You First by J.C. LillisLGBT Contemporary PNRMay 23rd, 2019 - Self-PublishedPurchased Reviewer: Melinda You First by J.C.

The blurb uses the word bittersweet and I think there isn’t a more perfect word to describe both the romance and the book. Levon Ludlow is a D-level Continue Reading

Angela: It's only June and I already have several 5 star reads on my faves list.

See review here. Meet Me in Paradise by Libby Hubscher- This book hit me like a freight train, I went in thinking I was getting a fun getaway rom-com and ended up crying my eyes out at the end.
