One Day to Fall is a cute, sweet contemporary romance that perfectly captures those first precious hours of meeting someone special.
Sophia Roux is already tense and fractious when the accident occurs. An early morning visit to the hospital waiting room to sit for hours as her older sister Angela ...
Unbreak Me is a blistering romance; searing and brutal and yet tender and sweet. There are moments of gentleness that will melt you – but much of the book is a bruising indictment of a legal system that allows rapists to go free, and the government structures that caused the levées to break dur ...
Les Miserables meets the high seas in Jody Hedlund’s A Reluctant Bride, the story of a woman from the slums who finds her worth on the bounding main.

Josh Lanyon’s latest novel is kind of Adrien English meets Bewitched as the owner of an antique store (who also happens to be a witch) finds himself suspected of murder just a few days before his wedding to the city’s Police Commissioner. Mainly by Moonlight is an enjoyable romp that’s perha ...

Ellie and the Harpmaker is, tragically, one of those books that is bound to conjure comparisons with other, better works. While it’s fairly competent and it’s nice to see an autistic character get a beautiful love story, I could only think of more evenhanded, thoughtfully produced books I’d ...
Christy English’s How to Tame a Willful Wife is the first in her Shakespeare in Love series, and on the whole, I would rather read Shakespeare. This was a forgettable romance - bland, insubstantial, and always, always choosing the most predictable path through the plot.

Gregory Ashe has become one of my favourite authors over the last year or so, and I’ve been longing to dive into Triangulation, the second book in his Borealis Investigations series ever since I turned the last page on the first book, Orientation, earlier this year. I’m addicted to the blend o ...
