Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt: Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann

September 28, 2020 Angela Blog Tours, New Adult, Reviews, Romance

Jewel E. Ann’s Jack & Jill trilogy remains one of my all-time favorites. It’s unique, suspenseful, funny, tragic, and romantic. While I hated saying goodbye to the characters I’d grown to adore, the ending was so satisfying that I didn’t dare ask for more. When I found out Jewel was writing Out of Love as a spinoff, my first thought was, “Don’t f*ck it up!” And she didn’t.

August 28, 2020 Angela First Line Friday

Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. I’ve been MIA since I’ve been buried in work this week, but I’m crawling out to share one of my favorite first lines. It’s from Transcend by Jewel E. Ann. She really knows how to hook a reader, and this mind-bending story is well worth the read.


Review: Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by Omid Scobie & Carolyn Durand

Review: Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by Omid Scobie & Carolyn Durand

August 20, 2020 Angela Nonfiction, Reviews

My opinion of Finding Freedom, in short: excellent fact checking, mediocre writing. I’m a firm Sussex supporter. The charitable endeavors by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, their obvious love for each other, and their warm demeanor quickly made me a fan. Even I have to admit, though, that the writing in this book is saccharine. Nobody is as perfect as Meghan is depicted.






Review: Exodus by Kate Stewart

Review: Exodus by Kate Stewart

August 8, 2020 Angela Reviews, Romantic Suspense

Oh man. Exodus, the conclusion of The Ravenhood Duet, is every bit the dark and twisted rollercoaster it is billed to be. Full disclosure: dark romances are hit or miss for me. I connect with some more easily than others. This one left me feeling too raw, too mentally and emotionally exhausted — with not enough payoff.



Audiobook Review: Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen

Audiobook Review: Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen

I was hesitant when I found out about this new series of books penned by various authors and set within Penny Reid’s book universe—-specifically in the Green Valley town that is home to the Winston brothers. I wasn’t sure another author could do justice to the kooky but heartwarming vibe I’d grown to love. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit if Baking Me Crazy didn’t make me a believer.
