Audiobook Review: Damaged Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie

November 12, 2018 Angela LGBTQ, New Adult, Reviews, Romance

I just fell in love with a bisexual god named Maximoff Hale, a rich philanthropist who excels at everything. The man is fiercely devoted to and protective of every single member of his enormous family. Selflessly, Maximoff only indulges in one night stands, refusing to subject lovers to the public scrutiny a more serious romantic relationship with him would cause. He’s the perfect specimen. His hot tatted and pierced bodyguard, Farrow, is no slouch either.

Sam’s Guest Review ♥ Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

November 8, 2018 Sam Reviews, Romance, Second Chance Romance

You know that feeling, that great feeling, when a book has all your catnip? The writing seems nice enough, it’s keeping you entertained…and then it’s about 200 pages too long or something? Sweet Cheeks is a great example of that.

Review: Heartbreak Warfare by Heather M. Orgeron & Kate Stewart

November 5, 2018 Angela Contemporary, Reviews, Romance, Romantic Suspense

Heartbreak Warfare deserves to wear its title like a badge of honor. The book is a military romance unlike any I have read before. It is unflinchingly raw, poignantly real, astoundingly passionate, and compulsively readable.

Review: Royally Yours by Emma Chase

October 30, 2018 Angela Blog Tours, New Adult, Reviews, Romance

Royally Yours radiates a classic romance charm that first drew me to the genre. The story is wonderfully tender, passionate, and whimsical, with a nice balance between fairy tale and realism. In other words, Emma Chase has another hit on her hands.

Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt: Fall by Kristen Callihan

October 25, 2018 Angela Blog Tours, Excerpts, Reviews, Romance

Fall is the third book in Kristen Callihan’s addictive rock star romance series, VIP, and let’s just say I was more than a little excited to read Jax’s story. Each book in the series is a standalone, but I highly suggest you read the previous books first. Jax has an important back story that alters the dynamics of the band Kill John, and I think you lose some of the impact if you skip those books.

Review ♥ Trailer Park Heart by Rachel Higginson

October 23, 2018 Angela Reviews, Romance

Trailer Park Heart will whet your appetite for a sweet underdog love story.

Review: The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

October 10, 2018 Angela Historical Romance, Reviews

I had high expectations for The Duchess Deal, and while it is definitely entertaining, I didn’t love it the way I expected. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more had I not recently read a truly excellent historical romance with a marriage of convenience theme. I don’t know, but 3.5 stars is still pretty darned good.

Review ♥ Fight or Flight by Samantha Young

October 8, 2018 Angela Contemporary, Enemies to Lovers, Reviews, Romance, Romantic Comedy

Fight or Flight is the first book I’ve read by Samantha Young, and based on the fact that I couldn’t put it down, I’d say I chose a good one to start with.

Review ♥ Sincerely, Carter by Whitney G.

October 7, 2018 Angela Friends to Lovers, New Adult, Reviews, Romance

Dear Carter, My friends have been utterly captivated by your friends-to-lovers story so please believe me when I tell you that it’s not you, it’s me. I think you are the perfect book boyfriend, but your girlfriend, Arizona, is truly irritating. For someone who’s 24, she seems rather immature. I don’t know how you put up with her silly little lies. Rather than tell you she doesn’t want to see you she tells you she’s meeting a new friend – Betty Crocker. Really? I know you chuckle, but do you really find it endearing?

Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt ♥ Once Upon a Sure Thing by Lauren Blakely

September 24, 2018 Angela Blog Tours, Friends to Lovers, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

Once Upon a Sure Thing is a friends-to-lovers story that is low on drama and high on humor—just how I like it. Lauren Blakely continues to impress with this series about three brothers who used to be members of a famous teen boy band. Single parenthood is integral to each brother’s story, and these sexy former pop stars are blessedly allergic to one-night stands.

September Ultimate Reading Challenge Review: Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

September 21, 2018 Angela Historical Romance, Reviews, Ultimate Reading Challenge 2018

I chose to read Devil in Winter as part of the Ultimate Reading Challenge for September 2018 which is to read a book outside your comfort zone. Historical romances are definitely something I avoid, but I bit the bullet and dove in.

Review: Managed by Kristen Callihan

September 17, 2018 Angela Reviews, Romance

I just finished Managed and I swear I want to start over and read it again. It exceeded my expectations on every level. With a clever story, witty dialog, and winsome characters, I had a perma-smile on my face the entire time I was reading. I have the stretch marks on my cheeks as proof.
