Wild Eyes takes place in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies and is the second in the Rose Hill series. It’s a small-town romance between a popular country music star looking for peace and a single dad who is a horse trainer and it’s my favorite book by chart topper Elsie Silver. All Skylar, a country music…
Narrated by Gary Furlong Tamarillo Tart is an opposites-attract romance between a snarky, out-and-proud city dweller who hates getting dirty and one not-quite-out backcountry tour guide. It’s the second book in the Southern Lights series, but it’s not necessary to have read the first book to enjoy this one. We met Stefan Hamilton (Stef) in…
The Marriage Season is excellently researched and a fun, if somewhat sedate, Regency. Widowed thanks to the war of 1812, country mouse Sybella Lovatt is out on the marriage mart again, but not for herself. Instead, she’s searching the ton for a spouse for her younger sister, Lucie, who also happens to be her ward….
Mimi Matthews’ excellent The Belle of Belgrave Square is a romantic, well-researched and intriguing novel that adds a feather to the writer’s cap. Book-loving horsewoman Julia Wychwood prefers her solitude and horse riding to gossip and tea dates. Suffering from social anxiety which leaves her feeling frozen with fear, she doesn’t like the whirl of…
Lee Welch’s original and inventive fantasy romance Salt Magic, Skin Magic was one of my favourite books of 2018. Like most of those who read it, I was excited to read the work of such a gifted new author, and I’ve been eager for more of it ever since. In Seducing the Sorcerer, Ms. Welch…
PTSD and a slow-burning romance collide in When a Cowboy Loves a Woman, the lovely and gently-moving story of two people who lost their previous partners in traumatic way falling in love with someone brand new. Elle Brooks is a mainstay of the Heaven Can Wait Horse Rescue team, and after the too-recent passing of…
Garrett Leigh is an author I keep meaning to read more of, so I eagerly pounced on her latest release, The Sex Coach, a standalone story that is loosely related to her Skins trilogy. (It’s not essential to have read that series, although I did find it helpful to have done so). Set on Whisper…
I’m always happy to find something spicy that doesn’t wallow in angst, and Picture Perfect Cowboy is precisely that. Jason Waters, retired rodeo champion, agrees at the last minute to fill in for an injured friend in a naked men reading books calendar photoshoot to raise money for a literacy charity. The photographer, Simone Levine,…
Nina Crespo kicks off the Tillbridge Stables series with The Cowboy’s Claim, a Hallmark Movie-esque low-conflict, enemies-to-lovers, country boy-meets-city gal romance. Crespo introduces readers to the Tillbridges, an African American family of horse stable owners based in Maryland who have achieved renown as rodeo performers. Tillbridge Horse Stable & Guesthouse manager Tristan Tillbridge has dedicated…
I enjoyed the first three books in Theresa Romain’s Romance of the Turf series, which focuses on a family of successful horse-breeders and trainers based in Newmarket. One of the attractions of the series has been that there’s nary a duke or earl in sight – historical romance about non-aristocratic characters is relatively rare, so…
