Review: The Finish Line by Kate Stewart
The Finish Line by Kate StewartRomantic SuspenseJanuary 24, 2021, by KLS PressReview by Jen I couldn’t wait to read The Finish Line by Kate Stewart. Exodus (book two) did end with an HEA. But, it never really sat completely well with me. I LOVED the story…but I didn’t feel as satisfied with Tobias and Cecelia’s HEA as I wanted to be. Did they REALLY belong together, and I wanted more backstory on Tobias before I could truly support him vs Cecelia’s first love, Sean. I was squarely Continue Reading

Melinda’s Minis: This is Not the End by Sidney Bell & How to be Good by Chace Verity
Thi is Not the End by Sidney BellContemporary Romance/Menage/PolyamoryJanuary 11, 2021, by Carina Press I am always looking for more polyam books, especially ones with heat and emotion. This one delivers on both sides. Anya and Zac are married and have a son, and what works for them in their marriage is for them to have sex - together - with other men. Other people may not understand this but it works for them. Zac’s bandmate, Cal, definitely cannot understand this but both the emotion and Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Shipped by Angie Hockman and Mistletoe and Mr. Right and Enjoy the View by Sarah Morgenthaler
Shipped by Angie HockmanContemporary RomanceJanuary 19, 2021 by Gallery As soon as I saw this book compared to both The Unhoneymooners and The Hating Game I knew I had to read. I can see the comparisons. Shipped is a mix of enemies to lovers and forced proximity trope. It wasn't quite as funny as The Unhoneymooners and not quite as angsty as The Hating Game, but for a debut author it's very good and I really enjoyed my time spent reading. The heroine of Shipped is Henley Evans and she Continue Reading
