I just love Church Girl by Naima Simone! Aaliyah has run away on her wedding day and persuades her cousin to help escape from her domineering family. When she arrives in Chicago she applies for a nanny job and meets Von, who needs someone to look after his seven year old daughter Gia. He rejects…
I was thrilled to read this new book from Julie Soto after so loving Forget Me Not last year. This one’s got grumpy/sunshine, rivals to lovers and found family tropes and is my favorite romance so far this year! It opens with a scene that had me laughing. Gwen is playing the music for a…
Mabel Willicker, heroine of Charlotte Stein’s latest standalone romance, When Grumpy met Sunshine, has ghostwritten several minor memoirs, but working with Alfie Harding – infamously standoffish footballing legend – would put her career in another league. But when he’s a jerk at their first meeting, Mabel, atypically, sets a boundary and walks out. Alfie, however,…
I was looking for something light and fun to read and The Fake Mate was just what I needed. It’s about Mackenzie (Mack) Carter and Noah Taylor, who are both doctors and wolf shapeshifters. This is a steamy romcom with fake dating and grumpy/sunshine MCs. Mack has been working in the ER for the past…
The Love Plot is a warm and funny romance in which a determinedly independent hippie girl meets a kind-hearted veterinarian. It’s a spirited read loaded with personality and humor, and it’s bound to make readers smile. Star Shine Meadow is, if you couldn’t tell by her name, the child of hippies who eschews commitment in…

I’ve read and enjoyed several of Briar Prescott’s books, but this one, I outright loved. Until You is the first in a new series, and it’s a emotional, touching and heartfelt slow-burn love story about a young man whose life takes an most unexpected turn after a single, momentous decision brought the life he’d known…
A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon is unique, funny and romantic, with solid world-building and a lot of great banter. Mariel Spark was meant to be a witch. A powerful and great witch, one of the most fearsome in a dozen generations of Sparks witches, or so the prophecies say. Her mother puts…
I’ve become a big fan of Fearne Hill’s writing over the past year or so, to the point where I’ll read anything she writes. To Mend a Broken Wing is the fourth full-length book in her Rossingley series, which I’ve had mixed reactions to; I read the second book and wasn’t wild about it, I…
As always, Jackie Ashenden manages to write rich, heartbreaking, angst-laden and sensual romances but, zounds, did the heroine she gives us here rub me the wrong way! All Roads Lead to You’s realistic view on mourning definitely touches the heart, but it’s not a perfect reading experience. Wide-eyed jewelry designer Bethany Grant is a walking…
