Narrated by John Solo Even though he’s already got two unfinished series on the go, Nazri Noor is clearly not one to let the grass grow under his feet! Hex and the City is the first book in the new Stolen Hearts series, which introduces two new and engaging protagonists and an interesting magic system…
I’d seen the buzz about Lydia San Andres Harlequin debut on Twitter, and I immediately picked up Compromised into a Scandalous Marriage for its setting. Set in the Dominican Republic in the early 20th century, this forced marriage tale is a tad formulaic, but in this author’s hands, it’s an engaging formula. Paulina Despradel lives in San Pedro…
Ranya Radwan, heroine of Heba Helmy’s The Earl’s Egyptian Heiress, is the daughter of a cotton pasha whose family honor is at stake: her brother was sent to buy out the Earl of Warrington’s shares in the cotton production business, but he has disappeared with all of the town’s money.

Narrated by Zachary Johnson A Clap of Thunder, book six in Nazri Noor’s richly imagined Arcane Hearts series, hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until the very end. Secrets are uncovered, old enemies return and a king is awakened, as Jackson and Xander, now happily engaged and continuing to try to track down…

The series is eventually going to boast sixteen titles and they…
I love a story that takes me into a setting in detail, but the people who inhabit this setting have to be developed as well. So while I loved the big no-expense-spared New Jersey desi wedding in Nisha Sharma’s Tastes Like Shakkar, I couldn’t enjoy the incompetent wedding planner heroine or intermittent kinkster hero who…
Chloe Gong’s adult fantasy debut, Immortal Longings, is inspired by Shakespeare just as much as her YA novels are. But in this case, it’s the real-life tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra which shapes this science-fiction twist on the Bard. Unfortunately, Gong imports a little too much of The Hunger Games into her brew, causing the…
