Adult coloring books are all the rage these days. Just in time for Christmas comes Love Between the Lines, a coloring book that appeals specifically to book lovers. Christina Collie of Christina Dooodles is known for her prints inspired by contemporary books written by traditionally published and indie romance authors. Her illustrations in Love Between the Lines are so fun, and discovering the hidden images and words from books I’ve read is really entertaining. Honestly, I’d be happy just looking at the artwork without coloring the pages. Enter below to win a copy!

Review: Keepsake by Sarina Bowen

November 5, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romance

Keepsake is the third standalone novel in the True North series. With each book I fall more and more in love with the Shipley family, life on the Shipley farm, the Shipleys’ friends—basically anything Shipley related. I’ve been curious about farmhand Zach, and now we finally get his story.

Marriage Games by CD Reiss ♥ Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt

November 2, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Erotica, Excerpts, Reviews, Romance

I don’t dabble in BDSM, and I certainly don’t consider myself to be a submissive, but I’ll be damned if Marriage Games didn’t dominate my thoughts during waking hours and my dreams while sleeping. This story is tenacious in its refusal to let me go.

Review, Excerpt & Giveaway ♥ Fling by Jana Aston

November 1, 2016 Angela Giveaways, Release Blitz, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

Let me preface this by saying I don’t read a lot of novellas. The length just doesn’t allow enough time to sufficiently develop characters, and the thin plots typically leave me feeling unsatisfied. It’s impossible for me to hold them to the same standards as full-length novels. That said, Fling is the first book I’ve read by Jana Aston, and if she can write a novella this entertaining I’m excited to read one of her full-length novels.

Review ♥ Turbulence: The Epilogue by Whitney G.

October 31, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romance

I freely admit I’m one of those greedy readers who looks forward to a good epilogue. I’ll take a HEA whenever I can get one, and the ending in Turbulence is mighty fine. However, it doesn’t have the coveted epilogue!

Review ♥ Low by Mary Elizabeth

October 28, 2016 Angela Contemporary, Reviews, Romantic Suspense

Ohmygosh! This book! I freely admit I’m an angst whore, but Low takes angst to a whole new level. It is, without a doubt, the most anxiety-producing novel I’ve ever read. At one point I had to reach out and phone a friend. (Thanks, Christy, for the hand holding.)

Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway: Beard Science by Penny Reid

October 27, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Giveaways, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

Dear Penny Reid, You can stop trying to dominate my list of favorite authors now. I get it. Your writing is hilarious, smart, effortless, and super romantic. Given your prolific body of work, it’s just not fair to other romantic comedy authors out there. Now you’ve gone and shoved your brilliance in my face once again with Beard Science.

Blog Tour & Review ♥ Black Swan Affair by K.L. Kreig

October 26, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Reviews, Romance

I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed this. The childhood boyfriend who goes away to college and comes back a changed man plot is nothing new, and I either enjoy or loathe love triangles depending on my mood and the story. Black Swan Affair is decidedly different though. Mystery, backstabbing, and selfless love elevate what could be your typical love triangle into something wonderfully complex and unpredictable.

Review ♥ Playboy Pilot by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

October 24, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romance

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have delivered another fun and sexy story with Playboy Pilot.

Review: Mid-Life Love by Whitney G.

October 20, 2016 Angela Erotica, Reviews, Romance

I love Whitney Garcia Williams. Her stories are refreshing and her characters are usually fun, unpredictable, and relatable. I liked the premise of the Mid-Life Love, but my frustration with the main character, Claire, prevented me from loving it.
