Review ♥ ShutterGirl by CD Reiss

November 3, 2015 Angela Contemporary, Reviews, Romance

While ShutterGirl is a bit of a departure from CD Reiss’s more sensual writings, her foray into the contemporary romance genre has all the hallmarks I’ve come to expect from CD’s work: superb writing woven with complex characters and a captivating plot. This is an alluring second-chance love story about two completely opposite people who dare to fall in love.

This novella does a pretty good job kicking off the 5-part Timber Towers serial. Frankie Jordan is Boston’s highest selling real estate agent.

Reading is one of my favorite pastimes, but when you’re an avid reader who reads well over 100 novels per year, many books tend to blend together. Authors that bring something fresh to the table stand a better chance of producing work that stands out. Jewel E. Ann brought her A-game with End of Day, and I can honestly say I’ve never read anything like it. She has woven together a gripping, intriguing, and clever novel that I could not put down. What a fantastic start to the Jack & Jill series.

Review: Becoming Calder by Mia Sheridan

I thought Archer’s Voice was amazing so I was excited to read another book by Mia Sheridan, especially after reading so many glowing reviews of Becoming Calder. I think I set myself up for disappointment because I expected this to be a romance.

And while I liked the characters of Calder and Eden, they just didn’t click for me as a couple.
