I was overjoyed when I learned that Rachel Reid’s Heated Rivalry was going to be adapted into a six-part TV series. (I was less so when I found out that the international distribution deal doesn’t include the UK, but that’s a moan for another time!) Sports romance – especially hockey romance – is a huge…
A belated Happy New Year to our fellow romance audio enthusiasts and here’s to another great year of listening! We’re back with recommendations and suggestions for your next listen, to share what we’ve listened to over the past few weeks and what we’re looking forward to getting into our ears next. We love chatting about…
Before Archive of Our Own arrived on the scene as THE home for fanfiction on the internet, before Bridgerton gave us an entire season of George III/Queen Charlotte fanfiction, there was a popular wave of novels that took literary classics (Pride & Prejudice, Little Women etc. etc.) that were either sexed-up versions of the originals OR continuations of…
I originally came to romance through fantasy novels with what AAR would now describe as “strong romantic elements.” (Ok, yes, and X-Files fanfiction. It’s a strong overlap). Back before YA got its own major marketing classification, a lot of us teens who were good readers but cognitively still kids found that speculative fiction was a…
I’ve been developing our “unusual occupations” tag, and I need your help! I stated by visiting our old Special Title listings for Unusual Professions. Let me tell you, some of those jobs are a LOT more popular than we evidently thought. We have characters on that list who are, for example, archaeologists, paleontologists, and botanists….

LBGTQ+ PRIDE is celebrated in many countries throughout the world in June, and here at AAR, we’re doing our bit to celebrate the idea that Love is Love is Love and that romance is for everyone by choosing our favourite queer fiction and queer romances. We could all have chosen more than one (or two!),…
I often have no idea if I’m reading an indie (independently or self-published book) or not – and you may not, either. Many of the old cues, like schlocky covers, aren’t giveaways anymore. Although a more expensive ebook (say, $7.99 USD and up) is usually traditionally published, the less expensive ones could go either way.
Pour yourself a cup of dandelion tea and gather around the pianoforte! In episode two of Behind the Review video blog, I spotlight my time reading Regency romance A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley.
In Mary Balogh’s 1997 Trad. Regency The Last Waltz, Gerard Percy is living and working in Canada when he learned that he has unexpectedly inherited an earldom. He returns to host a Christmas party at his new estate, to which he invites his Canadian friends, brother and sister Andrew and Jeanette Campbell.
