Football season is over, but if you’re jonesing for the gridiron, a football themed romance might help. While there is not a lot of actual ball playing involved, Pass Interference features characters from the San Antonio Hawks football team. Growing up the daughter of the owner of the Hawks, Tyler Gillette has had enough exposure…
Narrated by Carolyn Morris Sarah MacLean’s first historical romance is a rake-meets-wallflower story which, I confess, is one of my favourite tropes in the genre. I do so love watching the sophisticated ladies’ man and serial avoider of emotional entanglements falling under the spell of the “girl least likely to” and Nine Rules is a…
This is the third book in Anna Harrington’s Secret Life of Scoundrels trilogy which follows three men who served together during the Napoleonic Wars as they find love and a happily ever after. I reviewed the previous book, Along Came a Rogue here, and while I had some issues with the pacing and certain aspects…
Alex Whitehall’s Second Skin is a stand-alone title, set mainly on an American college campus. I really appreciate and admire what the author is trying to do with this story.Second Skin is a NA (New Adult) romance title, this I believe places protagonists in their early twenties. NA is a sub-genre that is hard to…
Beauty and the Rake is the third book in Erica Monroe’s Rookery Rogues series, and although I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary to have read the other two, events from the previous book have a strong bearing on the story in this one. However, the author has given enough information during the course of this…

The previous book in the series, The Bedding Proposal, boasted both an unusual and deliciously angsty storyline and was also excellently narrated by Barrie Kreinik. I…
Fans of Kiera Cass’ Selection series won’t want to miss The Glittering Court, book one in Richelle Mead’s trilogy of the same title. It’s a captivating story of forbidden love set against the backdrop of a world not so different from Great Britain and America. Our heroine is a young noblewoman, determined to live life…
Fans of the” love across the tracks” trope may find this romance appealing, with a wealthy Bostonian lawyer falling for a desperately poor heroine who grew up in a trailer in Appalachia. While I found parts enjoyable, I had trouble with some plot points, rendering this just an average read. Nathaniel Cavanaugh rented a cottage…
E.J. Russell’s Stumptown Spirits is a stand-alone title, but also part of the Legend Trippingcollection. The collection includes Stumptown Spirits and Wolf’s Clothing,to be released later this year. This is a paranormal romance with urban fantasy elements. Riley Morrel, an academic folklorist, is working as a production assistant on a third-rate paranormal investigation show. He took the…
Last Doll Standing is the second book featuring housewife and interior designer Cece Laramie. Unfortunately, this story does not stand at all well on its own, so, if you’re like me and dive in here, a great deal of the plot won’t make sense. I found myself reading Goodreads reviews of the first book, Pretty…
