What happens when a PA (personal assistant) and the Prime Minister of Canada are caught in what looks like a compromising position? She’ll be fake dating his bodyguard, of course. Like most Amy Lea novels, this story has its share of quirky humor but it also explores heavier topics including child abandonment and a parent…
If, like me, you’re not the biggest fan of the schmalzy, Hallmark-y Christmas romances that proliferate at this time of year, then Garrett Leigh’s Christmas on Cosmic Avenue could be just what you’re looking for. It’s funny and snarky and warm; and it’s festive without being over-the-top, which makes for a perfect seasonal love story…
The Mating Game is set in the same universe as The Fake Mate so I was excited to read it. It has two wolf shifters and there’s lots of shifter sex. While it wasn’t as light and fun as The Fake Mate, I enjoyed returning to Ferguson’s world of wolf shifters. The story opens when…
I’m a long time fan of Zoe York and her Pine Harbour and spinoff Kincaids of Pine Harbour series (Love in a Sandstorm and Fearless at Heart are two of my favourites novels) and it’s always fun to revisit favourite characters and locales. That’s what led me to The Ex-Mas Breakup, starring Garrett Kincaid and…
As a seasoned global traveler, journalist, and mother of a kickass photojournalist, there were so many things about Megan Oliver’s debut contemporary romance, Secret Nights and Northern Lights, that called to me. I wanted it to be a grand adventure in Iceland, but it was just … not. Mona Miller is a journalist with a…
An Introvert’s Guide to Life and Love offers a truly fun narrative voice. This contemporary romance is an eminently readable slice of fiction that will make you smile your way through the winter months. It does, however, feel much more like a piece of women’s fiction than a straight-up romance novel but if you go…
Olivia Dade returns to Harlot’s Bay for Second Chance Romance, the second book in the series which, for my money, is just as wonderful as the first, At First Spite. The prologue covers the history between Karl Dean and Molly Dearborn over twenty years earlier. They weren’t a couple in high school but life and…
I got a real holiday treat this year in the form of Kristen Bailey’s Big Nick Energy. This new-to-me author absolutely delighted me with a warm, sweet, funny love-triangle Christmas romance that explores a second chance with an old flame and a sweet discovery with someone new. Kay is a librarian and children’s book author…
Only December by Noelle Adams is a Christmas-themed novella featuring an age-gap romance between a widowed philosopher and a freelance housekeeper. It’s a sweet, low angst read with some spicy scenes but isn’t particularly memorable. Mona is a housekeeper who takes on a variety of jobs at will. Most of them are short term, many…
And Then There Was You is not your typical contemporary romance and is unlike anything Cousens has written before. I’ve loved Cousens’ romcoms and, initially, wasn’t sure what to make of this quirky, unique science fiction romance. I’m so glad I read it! The story explores how the rise of AI is changing our world…
