In My Fair Lover, family matchmaker Lady Katherine Wilde gets a second chance with her personal one-who-got-away. In this reverse-Pygmalion story, American Brandon Deverill needs Katherine’s help to give him the polish he needs in order to gain his inheritance. Of course, Katherine is also his one-who-got-away, and we are treated to their reunion story….
Narrated by Summer Morton & Jeremy York Hate to Want You has been one of my most anticipated books this year. I’m a fan of Alisha Rai generally and the blurb sounded so good. A couple of star-crossed lovers meet up for one night of hot sex every year – that’s all they can have…
Lisa Berne’s Penhallow Dynasty series continues with The Laird Takes a Bride, a rather hard to love little volume about a spinster and a disreputable laird with a long past behind him. Fiona Douglass is, at twenty-seven, still a spinster. The only one of the four Douglass girls to remain unwed, she still yearns for…
The Coldest Fear is the third book in Debra Webb’s Shades of Death series featuring police detective Bobbie Gentry and Nick Shade, a mysterious man who has dedicated his life to hunting down serial killers. Since this book does not stand well on its own, I suggest picking up the first two books in the…
K.M. Jackson’s The Betting Vow is the third standalone story in the Unconventional Brides series. The series takes a lighthearted and humorous view of the institution of marriage and all the trappings that go along with the ‘perfect’ wedding. This story veers into marriage of convenience territory in an entertaining and fun romance that starts…
In the first of Emma Douglas’ new Cloud Bay series, set on a small island off the coast of California, Caleb White has decided to retire from professional tennis. He doesn’t really have a plan for what’s next, so he ends up at CloudFest, a famous musical festival, at the behest of a friend. There…
Julie Anne Long knocks another homer out of the park with Dirty Dancing at Devil’s Leap, the third volume in her delightful series of Hellcat Canyon novels. Ever since Avalon Harwood can remember, she’s had a crush on her childhood friend and confidant, Mac Coltrane. They more or less grew up together around his family…
I should have loved Traitor in Her Arms. I was sure the combination of spies, an enemies-to-lovers romance and the Scarlet Pimpernel was destined to be wonderful, and I’m so disappointed to tell you it wasn’t. The principals are unappealing, the plot contrived and ridiculous, the secondary characters are silly, and the whole thing is…
Narrated by Alexander Cendese Devil’s Cut, the final book in J.R. Ward’s Bourbon Kings trilogy, was one of my most anticipated books of 2017. The series is part contemporary romance and part family drama set in a fictional city modeled heavily on Louisville, Kentucky, and I loved every minute of it. Alexander Cendese’s narration, though…
What happens when a no-strings relationship forms strings? That’s essentially the premise of Disorderly Conduct, the first in a new series from Tessa Bailey. Charlie and Ever (and yes, I did read it as Eve most of the time because Ever as a name gave me a twitch) agree to a casual relationship full of…
