Review, Excerpt & Giveaway: Grin and Beard It by Penny Reid

June 8, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Giveaways, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

It’s official. I’m in love with the Winston brothers. Like so crazy, madly, deeply in love I’d be willing to go full-on Sister Wives for them. I’m not exactly sure how I went from reading a sweet Rom-Com to considering polygamy, but I blame Penny Reid. Damn her and her ridiculously talented mind, the magnetic and quirky characters she creates, and her clever humor. These attributes are on full display in Grin and Beard It, and it’s all kinds of awesome.

Blog Tour, Review, Excerpt & Giveaway ♥ The Player and the Pixie by L.H. Cosway & Penny Reid

April 20, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Excerpts, Giveaways, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

My book funk is a thing of the past thanks to L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid! It’s a day after I finished reading this book and I’m still walking around with a stupid grin on my face. True confession #1: I was in the minority of readers who didn’t love The Hooker and the Hermit, so my expectations for The Player and the Pixie weren’t overly high. True confession #2: Although I knew this book is about Ronan’s little sister getting involved with his archenemy/teammate, I didn’t read the synopsis. Combine #1 and #2 and I found myself unexpectedly enjoying the heck out of this sweet Rom-Com.

Blog Tour, Review, Excerpt & Giveaway: Happily Ever Ninja by Penny Reid

February 8, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Excerpts, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

I don’t care how long you’ve been a couple before you make it official; marriage is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work whether you’ve been married two years or twenty years. It’s far too rare to find romance novels with main characters in their thirties and forties. As an older reader, I’m so grateful that Penny Reid penned a humorous yet thoughtful story featuring a mature married couple dealing with real life issues.

Review: Ninja at First Sight by Penny Reid

January 15, 2016 Angela New Adult, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

Dear Penny Reid, We need to have a “Come to Jesus” talk. Don’t EVER make me fall in love with characters, get me fully engaged in their story, and then end a book abruptly—with a freaking cliffhanger no less—WHEN MY KINDLE SAYS I’M ONLY 85% INTO THE BOOK!! (Yes, shouty capitals and exclamation points are necessary.)

Review ♥ Capture: Elements of Chemistry by Penny Reid

January 10, 2016 Angela New Adult, Reviews, Romance

“Maybe love, at its essence, is being a mirror for another person—for the good parts and the bad. Perhaps love is simply finding that one person who sees you clearly, cares for you deeply, challenges you and supports you, and subsequently helps you see and be your true self.”

Review ♥ Heat: Elements of Chemistry by Penny Reid

January 3, 2016 Angela New Adult, Reviews, Romance

I’m not sure how Penny Reid did it, but she maintained the momentum in part two of the Elements of Chemistry series. In fact, she grabbed my attention from the first chapter, blew my mind, and I wound up loving it every bit as much as part one, Attraction.

Review: Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid

January 2, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy

This book was awesome sauce! Based on the Penny Reid books I previously read I was expecting a loveable, quirky heroine, and Reid didn’t disappoint me. If I had to pick an adjective to describe this story, it would be adorable.

Review ♥ Attraction: Elements of Chemistry by Penny Reid

January 1, 2016 Angela New Adult, Reviews, Romance

I thought this would be an average New Adult opposites attract story, but it surpassed my expectations in every way. It’s extremely rare that I give five stars to a novella. That’s mainly because the short length doesn’t allow an author to sufficiently develop characters with whom I can connect. Novellas also tend to suffer from rushed or disjointed narratives. Such isn’t the case with Attraction: Elements of Chemistry #1.

Review: Truth or Beard by Penny Reid

December 11, 2015 Angela Contemporary, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

Sexy Gandalf, mistaken identity, catastrophic engine failure, and Truth or Dare. Leave it to Penny Reid to whip up such a delightful combination in Truth or Beard. Right from the start, she had me in the palm of her creative and whimsical little hands.

The Hooker and The Hermit by L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid

October 29, 2015 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy, Sports Romance

Penny Reid can do no wrong in my book, and although I’ve only read one book by L.H. Cosway, I was impressed with her writing style. I thought pairing up these two intelligent and witty authors to write a book together was a smart move. It was with great anticipation that I settled in to spend an entertaining weekend reading The Hooker and the Hermit.
