Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec

Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec

This book starts out strong, and I loved the first half. It had me feeling all the feels: pissed one minute, devastated the next, teary, hopeful… the list goes on. However, somewhere about halfway the story loses steam and slips into overly sappy territory. It reads like a screenplay for a Hallmark movie. I actually like some Hallmark movies, especially if I’m in a sentimental mood.


Review & Excerpt ♥ Dirty Billionaire by Meghan March

Review & Excerpt ♥ Dirty Billionaire by Meghan March

December 12, 2015 Angela Blog Tours, Erotica, Reviews

Holy cannoli! There’s a heck of a lot of heat packed into these 166 pages of erotica. Dirty Billionaire is the first book in the Dirty Billionaire Trilogy. It’s aptly named because sexy alpha billionaire Creighton Karas must have a Master’s Degree in Dirty Talking. He probably has a Doctorate in Insanely Hot Bedroom Skills too since I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard of that thing he does with a bottle of whiskey. Be prepared to break out your fans.



Kick by CD Reiss

I feel conflicted about Kick. On the one hand, the writing is amazing: engaging, exciting, intense, and evocative. On the other hand, the main character, Fiona, deeply disturbs me. The fact that this is a novella with a well-rounded plot and a multi-dimensional main character, let alone a short story that causes discordant emotions, is a testament to CD Reiss’s skill as a writer.



Sweet Ache by K. Bromberg

Sweet Ache by K. Bromberg

December 8, 2015 Angela Contemporary, Reviews, Romance

I’ve been in love with K. Bromberg’s Driven series since the very beginning. The characters in her books have heart, the bonds between friends are impenetrable, the humor flows, and there is always an underlying poignancy to elevate the stories from being more than just over-sexed romanced novels. Sweet Ache is no exception.





Mini Review: Where I Belong by J. Daniels

Mini Review: Where I Belong by J. Daniels

December 2, 2015 Angela Reviews, Romance

I’m sad to say I was disappointed with this one. I didn’t hate it but I wouldn’t recommend it either. The book summary sounded interesting but the story wound up being under-developed, rushed and somewhat unrealistic. Overall, Where I Belong just isn’t what I’ve come to expect from a J. Daniels book.


Here With Me by Heidi McLaughlin

Here With Me by Heidi McLaughlin

I tend to avoid love triangles; however, this one has a twist. Evan, a Navy SEAL, leaves his pregnant fiancé, Ryley, when deployed on a special mission. When he’s “killed” in the line of duty, Evan’s twin brother, Nate, is there to help Ryley pick up the pieces. Six years later, Evan returns home to find that Ryley and Nate are engaged and his son calls his brother, “Dad.” The premise sounds intriguing. The problem with this story is in its execution.
