Warm-hearted, sweet, and filled with passion, Isabel and the Rogue does a beautiful job continuing Lina De La Rosa’s tale of the three Luna sisters. There’s adventure, derring do, growth, and a tender but sensual romance all within its pages. Isabel Luna Valdés feels completely invisible in her own family. The middle child, her parents…
Waiting for Friday Night is the second novel in the Peachtree Cove series. You don’t have to have read that story to understand this one. At the age of twenty-one, Halle Parker felt completely alone. Her parents having died before she graduated college, she had no close relatives and decided to fix that by making…
The Mayor of Maxwell Street provides some excellent character portraits, but falls afoul of its many moving plot points. That keeps it from being a DIK, but it’s still a decently captivating love triangle and mystery. Penelope – Nelly – Sawyer’s parents made their fortune breeding horses, and they’re not only one of the richest…
Narrated by Mela Lee & Preston Butler I have read three novels by Tia Williams, and I’ve given every one of them an A. With A Love Song for Ricki Wilde, Williams has again proven why she’s one of my favorite auto-buy authors. She simply can’t miss. Born the fourth daughter of a prominent Atlanta…
I love me some Jackie Lau. Longtime readers of this site know she excels at rivals-to-lovers romances, and Love, Lies and Cherry Pie is no exception to the rule. The dialogue crackles, the interpersonal relationships sparkle and the romance is typically fantastic. Emily Hung is a barista who (barely) has time to write. Her mother…
Flirty Little Secret is, as the title suggests, a fun and cheerful romantic comedy, yet it still manages to tackle some serious subjects while on the way to a happy ending.

The Kiss Countdown is a sweet, fun summer vibe story that captures the breezy mood of the season perfectly. Amerie Price lost her job, boyfriend, and reputation when her mom got sick, but she regrets nothing. Being at her mother’s side while she was so clearly in need was a priority for her and she…
I fell under the spell of this book! I enjoyed Kiss and Spell so much, and got really interested in the world and the spellcraft of this series. I love a protagonist you can root for, and down-on-her-luck Ursula is certainly one of those. Jilted by her fiancé and with her life in pieces around…
The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a stunning achievement. If that’s not enough to get you to read this (I warn you – tragic, without a single happily ever after involved) romantic epic, then take this into account: it’s almost certainly going to be on my best of year for 2024. In 4 BCE,…
The Single Dad Project by Naima Simone is the fifth contemporary romance in the author’s Rose Bend series. I hadn’t read any of the others in the series when I picked up this one, but it reads well as a standalone and has me intrigued to read more about this small town and the Dennison…
