Beautiful. Daring. Continue Reading
Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts- The TBR Update
Hosed (Happy Cat #1) by Pippa Grant and Lili Vanlente- I love Pippa Grant, but I haven't read anything she's written with a writing partner. This one started out slow for me, but the more I read, the more I got into it. It has the signature Pippa Grant zaniness with a sweet romance. There is a small town feel to it complete with nosy neighbors gossiping and everyone knowing everything about everyone's business. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Final Grade- B- America's Continue Reading
Smexy Deals!

Derek Craven is a powerful and near-legendary gambling club owner who was born a bastard and raised in the streets. His reputation is Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
Friends! It feels like it has been forever, but it’s only been a month since I wrote a Friday post for you. March was bananas for me. Mid-month I moved, only across town so not a big deal but packing is THE WORST. I was a volunteer for Aplloycon the weekend of the 22nd and that was great. It felt amazing to be surrounded by other romance peeps. It was great to actually meet some people from twitter.com. Then immediately after that I got a cold. I feel like I’ve been since for eightyseventy days. Continue Reading

Angela: I don't have a ton of April ARCs to read so I'm going to spend the whole month catching up on my TBR and reading a few books I've been eagerly anticipating. Demon Magic and a Martini (The Guild Codex: Spellbound #4) by Annette Marie 4/12- I kind of stumbled upon this while searching for new UF reads.

Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
Happy Happy, Hump Day! It has been a wild week and it's only Wednesday! I'm holding on tight and praying I make it to the weekend in one piece! Even with all the chaos this first week of April is lobbing my way, I was able to semi-weather the storm by stealing some time to read the newest book in one of my fav MC Club romance series, The Wind Dragons! If you haven't yet read Chantal Fernando's (EPIC!) series, please bless yourself and check out book 1, Dragon's Lair. It is sexy, funny, and just Continue Reading
Excerpt: Devil on Your Shoulder by Elyssa Patrick
Elyssa Patrick's new rom-com, The Devil on Your Shoulder, releases tomorrow 4/4. I can not wait to read it. Elyssa was kind enough to share an excerpt with us.

Kisses are one thing, but love is a declaration of war. Nora prepared herself for the worst. She was going to let this man—this man she didn’t Continue Reading
