Best Belated Reads, which describes favorite reads of a year published in a different year, is always one of my favorite posts to write. Romance has such a deep backlist, and so many excellent works are released every year, that it’s impossible not to have wonderful stories pass me by. It is always a joy…
It’s 2023, and time for a fresh start to the TBR Challenge year! This month’s prompt is “starting over”, and we both found great ways to explore that theme. Lynn read a contemporary category romance featuring a heroine in need of a fresh start, both personally and professionally, while Caz picked up a historical m/m…
I had a more than decent reading year in 2022. Looking back through my reviews I can see I’ve been lucky enough to read a lot of good books, but when I came to put this list together, I realised that while I’ve given a lot of B/B+ grades, I haven’t given all that many…
The months before Christmas (yes – I said the “C” word!) are traditionally packed to the gills with new releases, and this November is exactly that – well, mostly. There is, as usual, a big concentration of new releases at the end of the month, but the previous week is empty of new romance titles…
“Flirting With Danger” sounded like a sure-fire win from the TBR prompt standpoint. We both enjoy romantic suspense, and there are some very talented authors working in the genre. Caz and I both chose category romance titles this month. While our picks were published almost twenty years apart, they had one thing in common –…
Time for our regular look ahead to the new releases we’re most looking forward to reading over the next few weeks. There’s a pretty good selection of new books this October, although as usual, there’s no way we can fit them all in. Hopefully there’s something here that’ll tickle your fancy! We love hearing from…
If you are one of the romance readers who are pretty much over reading about billionaires, this month’s TBR prompt is right up your alley. Since the prompt was “blue collar”, I started by digging into my stash of category romances. I tend to like stories about everyday, non-billionaire people, so I figured this would…
Here we go again, with AAR’s regular look ahead to next month’s new releases. It’s that time of year when we’re all thinking about heading off for a holiday – or staying at home for one – so maybe our Coming Soon for August will help you to find some good reads to keep you…
Back in law school, I used to buy boxes of old category romances at library sales, and I still have many of these hanging around. When I want to try out some 80s/90s romances, these can be great fun. And while we love many of the historicals coming out today, there are some treasures to…
For someone who started out their romance reading career with historicals, a prompt like “Tales of Old” is the perfect catnip. Lynn and Caz took this prompt in rather different directions, with Lynn heading way back into the past with a tale of ninth century Vikings carving out a living in what is now Scotland,…
