Review: Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey
Fangirl Down by Tessa BaileyBig Shots #1Contemporary RomanceFebruary 13, 2024- AvonARC Review by Angela Look- I love me some Tessa Bailey dirty talking heroes, AND I'm always up for a sports romance, but even I side eyed the premise that this book featured the bad boy of golf. If I'm being honest, golf and bad boys aren't something that usually go together in my mind. Regardless, I hit that request button as soon as it became available for review. Fangirl Down introduces Wells Continue Reading

Review: Wreck the Halls by Tessa Bailey
Wreck the Halls by Tessa BaileyContemporary/Holiday Romance10/03/2023 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I don't read a lot of holiday romances, but you can bet I snapped this one up as soon as I could.

They've always known about each other, but only met in person once, briefly, as teens. But when an entertainment Continue Reading
Review: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey
Unfortunately Yours by Tessa BaileyA Vine Mess #2Contemporary RomanceJune 6, 2023- AvonARC Review by Angela I didn't love the first book in the series, Secretly Yours, neither the pacing nor the romance really worked for me and it took forever to finish. I kind of debated on whether I should continue with this duology, but ultimately decided I needed to know how the hate/lust relationship between the other Vos sibling and her retired Navy Seal panned out. I'm glad I did because this Continue Reading
Review: Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey
Secretly Yours by Tessa BaileyA Vine Mess #1Contemporary RomanceFebruary 7, 2023- Avon ARC Review by Angela I started and stopped this book multiple times before I finally finished it after the news from Harpercollins Union that they had reached an agreement and it was okay to post reviews for their books again. I wanted this to have the same magic as It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker- which were both 5-star, A+ reads for me. Alas, while I did enjoy this book and plan Continue Reading

Review: My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey
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
Review: Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey
Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa BaileyBellinger Sisters #2Contemporary Romance3/1/2022, by Avon Review by Angela It Happened One Summer was one of my favorite books last year. When I tell you that I wanted Fox and Hannah's book desperately I'm not exaggerating. I would have done pretty much anything for an early copy. Which is why when it landed on my Kindle in October I dropped everything to read. And I was not disappointed. This is very much a determined bachelor bad boy turned Continue Reading
