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 ♥ EXRATED by Stevie J. Cole

May 12, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Enemies to Lovers, Erotica, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

I think the cover of EXRATED is misleading because it looks quite serious and erotic. The story is about a hot young porn star so obviously it’s got to be sexy. What the cover doesn’t convey, however, is just how freaking hilarious this book is. It’s basically a rom-com with erotic elements, so you should be prepared for foul language, dirty talking, explicit sex, and lots of tongue-in-cheek humor.

Review ♥ Settling the Score by R.S. Grey

May 2, 2016 Angela Release Blitz, Reviews, Romantic Comedy, Sports Romance

For someone who likes sports romances, oddly enough I’m not a sports enthusiast—except when it comes to the Summer Olympics. I’m a huge fan and find myself glued to the TV for three weeks every four years. R.S. Grey is a new-to-me author, but when I heard she was writing a Rom-Com that takes place during the Summer Olympic Games I was sold.

Review: Sidebarred by Emma Chase

April 24, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy

If Romantic Comedy were a land of monarchy, Emma Chase would be firmly seated on the throne. I fell in love with her Tangled series, and Drew Evans became my ultimate book boyfriend. Then along came the Legal Briefs series. The entire series is charming, but I crowned Sustained my Favorite Romantic Comedy of All-Time and—almost impossibly—Drew had to step aside because he proved to be no competition for Jake Becker. Jake, Chelsea, and the six McQuaid nieces and nephews completely stole my heart. Basically, what I’m getting at is if you haven’t read this series, you’re seriously missing out.

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.

Review ♥ Cocky Bastard by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

April 4, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy

Cocky Bastard is a surprisingly sweet book about Aubrey, a somewhat repressed lawyer, and Chance, a spontaneous, flirtatious Aussie. Circumstances bring these two strangers together for a cross-country road trip, and along the way Chance helps Aubrey learn to embrace life’s opportunities while she helps open his heart.

Release Blitz, Review & Giveaway ♥ HardBall by CD Reiss

March 29, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Giveaways, Release Blitz, Reviews, Romantic Comedy

I’m a big CD Reiss fan so when I heard she was working on a sports romantic comedy—my latest addiction—I was all over that. I mean I stalked her Facebook page for updates, shamelessly drooled over the cover reveal, and was willing to sell my dog for an ARC. Well, he’s actually my husband’s dog, but still. This book is very different from the dark erotic novels for which Reiss is best know; however, there are enough sexy times to please most dirty birdies.

Blog Tour, Review, Trailer & Giveaway ♥ Hooker by Brooke Blaine

March 11, 2016 Angela Blog Tours, Excerpts, Giveaways, Reviews, Romantic Comedy, Trailers

Brooke Blaine’s L.A. Liaison series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I didn’t love this book quite as much as I enjoyed Licked, but it’s still a huge win. In Hooker, Ryleigh, Shayne, Quinn, and Paige are back and sassier than ever! This time around, it’s Shayne’s turn to find love.

Review ♥ It Had to Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

March 10, 2016 Angela Enemies to Lovers, Reviews, Romantic Comedy, Sports Romance

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my friends friends for clogging my Goodreads feed with updates of binge reading books by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Because of them I just may have found a new favorite author. I definitely discovered a delightful sports romance to add to my favorites bookshelf.

Review ♥ The Baller by Vi Keeland

March 5, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy, Sports Romance

The Baller has everything I look for in a sports romantic comedy: a ballsy heroine, a cocky athlete, banter up the wazoo, real integration of the sport, and a mature relationship. Placing a checkmark in all those columns makes it seem formulaic; however, the characters really help elevate this story.

Review & Trailer ♥ Licked by Brooke Blaine

March 3, 2016 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy, Trailers

Licked is the first book I’ve read by Brooke Blaine, and I’ve got to say I love her writing style. It’s very reminiscent of Alice Clayton in its sexy humor, but with a quirky, irreverent flair.

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.
