Downpour is the second in the Griffith Brothers series from author Maggie Gates and while I’ve enjoyed other books by her and wish I could have loved this one it wasn’t a winner for me. Ray Griffiths is a champion bull rider. The prologue is told from Ray’s perspective as he recovers after a competition…
I do love a good redemption story, and E.M. Lindsey’s Absolutely Pucked is a very good one. The Punked as Puck series features three ride-or-die best friends who play hockey in local community leagues for differently abled players, and while I loved the first book and wasn’t wild about the second, I’ve been looking forward…
Pucked Up is the second book in E.M. Lindsey’s Punk as Puck series featuring a group of friends on a community sled hockey team. I loved the previous book, Zero Pucks, in which the author does a great job of setting up the enemies-to-lovers romance that is the focus of this story, and I was…
I’ve been reading and listening to a lot of hockey romance lately – not because it’s something I gravitate to; rather it’s because a lot of my favourite authors and narrators are producing a lot of it! – but E.M. Lindsey’s new Punk as Puck series is hockey romance with a difference in that the…
Narrated by Nicholas Boulton As I noted in our January Picks post, Alexis Hall’s Glitterland has been re-recorded to include some bonus material that was not available with the recording made in 2016. With Nicholas Boulton in the narrator’s chair once again, there was no question in my mind that the narration would, once again,…
I saw readers rave about this book on Instagram and TikTok and so I checked it out. Friends–it was wonderful. I don’t often read fantasies but with Fourth Wing, I was quickly immersed into this fantasy world and I simply couldn’t put the book down. There are dragons, romance, friends and enemies… and it’s all…
When writing historical characters who would have faced discrimination and worse in reality, be it based on race, gender, sexuality, gender identity, religion, or other categories, authors have options. Some create a fantasy world like Bridgerton’s, where real-world prejudices are checked at the front cover, but in Freedom to Love, Susanna Fraser joins authors who…
It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for a book like Tia Williams’ Seven Days In June. Incredibly well-written, with three dimensional, fantastic characters set in a love story that left me breathless at times, this book will stick with me for a very long while. Eva Mercy, formerly Genevieve Mercier, has a lot on…
J.L. Merrow’s Face Blind is an atmospheric tale featuring two men who are trying to come to terms with and move on from traumatic events in their pasts. Add in family secrets, some gentle humour, a little bit of mystery and touch of the paranormal, and you’ve got an interesting and entertaining romance. Adam Merchant…
Narrated by Gary Furlong The first book in Jay Hogan’s Painted Bay trilogy, Off Balance is a beautifully written and deeply emotional story about two very different men helping each other to put their lives back together following tragedy and heartbreak. The story is infused with plenty of the author’s characteristic humour despite the sometimes…
