Narrated by Alex Wyndham We first meet Alec Halsey in Deadly Engagement, where he investigates the death of a friend, and then again in Deadly Affair, with another murder and a mystery. Now, Alec is dealing with something completely different – his diplomatic past and the imprisonment and torture of his good friend Sir Cosmo…
The Siren’s Dance is a paranormal romance, unique in its setting and premise. It’s the second in the Siren Romance series by Amber Belldene which began with The Siren’s Touch. Each story is designed to be read as a standalone but characters from book one appear in book two. It combines Slavic mythology with a…
I loved Undecided and it’s easily the best NA novel I’ve read this year. Based on the cover art, you might assume (like I did) it’s going to be the standard NA romance with a messy love triangle. You would be wrong. Instead – and ironically – Ms. Keyes has produced a love story about…
A Useful Woman is the first in a new series of mysteries set in the Regency period featuring Rosalind Thorne, a young lady of good birth who, through no fault of her own has fallen upon hard times. Even though it’s a murder-mystery, it’s a very gentle and rather “polite” story, which I suppose befits…
I’ve read and enjoyed previous stories by A.J. Pine and I was excited to read this first in the Kingston Ale House series. Craft breweries are becoming more popular as social venues, so it stands to reason that they would start to show up as subject matter in popular fiction. It’s a setting that lends…
I read and enjoyed Joanna Shupe’s first historical romance, The Courtesan Duchess, and in my review, said that while it wasn’t without flaws, it was one of the strongest débuts I’d read in a while. I read or listened to the two books that followed it (The Harlot Countess and The Lady Hellion, and while…
Narrated by Erin Bennett Ever since I discovered Karina Halle’s Artists trilogy in the spring of 2014, I’ve been a devoted fan. Although I’m most drawn to her dark romances, her traditional New Adult titles never disappoint. Racing the Sun, book 2 in Ms. Halle’s Where Sea Meets Sky series is no exception, further cementing…
A well written, well plotted, werewolf story – what a pleasant surprise this novel was. Before I read Wolf en Garde I bought and read Wolf WY, the opener for this series. I really liked the writing and enjoyed the romance and love story. Although much of this novel is set in Washington DC, the…
Morning Star is the third book in Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Trilogy. While I did not enjoy it as much as the previous two books, it nevertheless provides a satisfying if uneven conclusion to the saga. For those readers who are unfamiliar with the trilogy, the series takes place a couple of hundred years in…
This is the fourth book in Maisey Yates’ series set in Copper Ridge, Oregon. I found myself interested in the fictional town with its mix of ranchers, fishermen, and a burgeoning tourist business. But for most of the book I despised the hero. While I warmed to the heroine after a rough start, I did…
