An Unseen Attraction by K.J Charles (Sins of the Cities #1) Released: February 21, 2017 Historical M/M Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi What a cute and lovely story.

Clem Talleyfer is a lodging-house keeper, meaning he is in charge of a houseful of tenants - keeping them locked up safe at night, and making sure his Continue Reading

Review: A Gentleman’s Position by K.J. Charles
A Gentleman's Position by K.J. Charles (Society of Gentlemen #3) Released: April 5, 2016 Historical M/M Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Oh, Richard. Are you in love?" "Painfully." Richard's throat felt tight. "For years." This is my first KJ Charles book and it definitely won't be my last. I'm so glad she has a back list, yet so sad I've failed to read her. If her back list is anything like this book (which twitter tells me it is) I'm in for a treat. I really enjoyed Continue Reading

Angela’s Favorite Books of 2025
As you can see I don't have a lot of contemporary or historical on my list this year-- all I can say is that I was caught up in fantasy and fantasy romance. I kind of needed a step away from the real world in 2025. Archangel's Ascension (Guild Hunter #17) by Nalini Singh- My most anticipated book of the year. It did not disappoint. (I've read the last book in the series; Archangel's Eternity and YOU NEED TO PUT IT ON YOUR TBR). "This is a love letter of sorts to the Guild Hunter Continue Reading

A working-class woman who infiltrates Singapore’s high society to fulfill her dreams risks losing everything in the process—including herself—in this propulsive novel by debut author Kyla Zhao. A Thousand Miles to Graceland 1/24/2023- This seems more like WF to me, but beehives and sequins for the win.

Smexy’s June TBR
Angela- Once again I read ahead because I couldn't help myself. What can I say? I have no willpower. There are still a bunch of new releases I'm looking forward to and a couple of books on my massive TBR stack I'm determined to work in. Neon Gods by Katee Robert- 6/1 Contemporary Fantasy- I absolutely read this as soon as it hit my Kindle and don't regret it at all. This book is HOT. Be prepared. It's also such a wonderful new twist on the Hades and Persephone myth that I can't wait to get Continue Reading
Angela’s Favorites of 2020
Contemporary Romance: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa- You know that feeling of frustration you get when you are reading a really great book and you are in the middle of a part where you can hardly take your eyes off the page because you need to know what happens next and suddenly life interrupts? That was me reading The Worts Best Man. I did not want to put it down and stuff kept happening that forced me to. Ugh. A fabulous mix of laugh out loud funny, sweet, and sexy. This book had it all Continue Reading
