His Royal Secret could have been so cheesy; maudlin, sentimental and coarsely gossipy, like the gutter press depicted so unflatteringly within its pages. Yet, somehow, Lilah Pace—a new author to me—manages to give us a romantic story that looks hard at two young men who fall in love under remarkable circumstances, and unravels their hearts…
Fast Connection is a highly enjoyable and readable stand-alone, full-length romance novel, although Garrett and Kai from the first in this series – Strong Signal – do make a brief appearance. Dominic ‘Nicky’ Costigan returns to his parent’s bagel deli in Staten Island, after a decade of serving in the Army. Everyone expects him to…
Fierce and Fabulous is the first in a new male/male series by Elizabeth Varlet, Sassy Boyz. The series followers the members of a group of androgynous, gender-fluid dancers. They are sexy, seductive and dance in high heels – in the manner made famous by Yanis Marshall and his troupe. Elizabeth Varlet acknowledges Marshall as her inspiration….
Blow Down is another delightful, witty episode in the lives of Tom Paretski, the slightly psychic plumber, and his new fiancé, P.I. Phil Morrison. Death is what happens while you’re making other plans. I loved this murder mystery and devoured its character driven plot with glee. J.L. Merrow’s observations on the quirks of English life…
This book is nominated for a 2016 RITA award. I enjoyed reading the story of Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley – which is continued in the second of the series, US. However, there were a couple of issues for me to overcome; firstly, the major themes of Ice Hockey and the American college system. Being English,…
So. Romance and slavery don’t really go hand-in-hand, do they? Well, I decided to give this novella a chance regardless. I read a whole lot of off-the-wall stories, so this should fit in, right? Yeah, nope. At about 130 pages in total, A Year Less Three Days attempts to cram the romance into about thirty…
Daniel Stephens has written an interesting romance about starting again. Some parts are reminiscent of Call of the Wild by Jack London whilst the main story is rife with rather over stylised metaphors. …a soft song rose from her chest in a series of howls. It rose and fell over the lake as though carried…
Harper Fox’s mermaid fantasy, Priddy’s Tale is a luscious, sweet and sensual treat. Definitely a Desert Isle Keeper, the minus in the rating is only because I didn’t want the tale to end. I wanted to remain immersed and cossetted in the lovely prose and heartfelt romance. Extract from WILD Southwest – Legends of the…
I liked His Heart’s Revenge, but it’s my least favorite in the 49th Floor series. I missed the relationship building, character development, and honestly – angst, I expected. When I finished, I laid the blame on the page count, convinced previous books were longer. Wrong – they’re all fairly close to 250 pages. On reflection,…
I’ve definitely been in a M/M historical kick recently. I blame K.J. Charles. But I’ve already finished all (but one!) of those, so I was looking to branch out a bit. And then I found this one. Jonathan Reese, hero number one, is a former soldier and now a spy for England. Hero number two…
