this review was originally published on June 1, 1996 Don’t let the title of this book fool you – Day Dreamer is not a dreamy sort of read. Instead, it is a two-hanky read and one of the best books you are likely to read this year. Set in New Orleans and the Caribbean in…
Maybe some fans shipped the couple who star in Beast Business, but I missed the boat. Fortunately, the author wasn’t waiting for my go-ahead to bring these two together. This novella is volume 6.5 in the Hidden Legacy series, and readers who are not familiar with it should not start here because you’ll miss out…
Business or Pleasure is an Indie Next Pick, A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick, and one of Amazon’s Best Romances of 2023. There is a lot of hype and a lot of love surrounding this novel, and it is mostly well-earned. Chandler Cohen is a ghost. She didn’t start out that way, of course. She…
Almost Real is the latest in the Nicole Snow’s Almost Ever After series, and the first book I’ve read by this author. It’s an okay, if not particularly memorable romance between a vet tech and a rich CEO who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty in the quest for success and love. Lena Joly…
Set in Brooklyn, No Matter What is a gorgeous, heartbreaking second chance, marriage-in-trouble romance between Vin and Roz, good people who have lost their connection. As the book begins, Roz finds a lease on the kitchen table in their apartment and thinks that Vin is leaving her. They have had the year from hell, surviving…
Star Shipped is Cat Sebastian’s first contemporary romance, and I’m pleased to report that it’s every bit as good as her modern (1960s) historicals – many of which are on my keeper shelf. It’s warm, funny, engrossing and utterly charming, featuring complex, engaging but flawed characters whose foibles make them so human and relatable, in…
Joanna Chambers continues her Enlightenment series of m/m historical romances with Liberated, the long-awaited story featuring George Asquith, son and heir to Henry, Duke of Avebury (who got his HEA in book five, Restored). Liberated is a charming and tender slow-burn romance between two former school-mates; a proper and reserved young nobleman and an emotionally…
The old saying “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” doesn’t fit Missing Sister. Penny knew exactly how much she valued what she had, which made losing it all the more painful. Penny and Nix Albright were born only three minutes apart. Exceptionally close, the twins had shared almost everything as children, but…
This lighthearted historical romance was so fun! It kept me grinning the whole way through. I was excited to read it after loving Every Duke Has His Day and this one is just as good. Beckett is a widower with a young daughter, Rebecca, whom he adores and he’s looking for a wife to be…
Sweet, warm, and occasionally heart-meltingly gooey, Hearts on the Fly is a fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookie of a book that is a nice cure for the end-of-winter blues. The game is expected to be violent and injuries are par for the course, but one devastating hit upends hockey player Jabari Hall’s entire life when what the…
