Two strangers come together to try and make it to a wedding on time in this heartfelt, road trip romcom. There’s a cancelled flight, missed train and many more mishaps and, while it got off to an angsty start, there’s plenty of funny banter and spice for a good time. Ada is on her way…
If, like me, you were introduced to Penny Reid’s romantic comedies through her Knitting in the City series, then you’ll be delighted to know that Bananapants, which features the next generation of the couples in those stories, hits all the same high notes. But it’s not all laughs, as there are some serious mental health…
Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare (whose former pen name was Mary Ann Rivers) have partnered up to write under the pen name Mae Marvel. And under that name they’ve released their first contemporary sapphic romance, Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous. It’s a lovely second chance romance for high school best friends who separated…
I recently made a comment, on another review thread, about the fact that when I read contemporary romance, I generally stick to books by a handful of tried-and-tested authors, because I find so many novels in the genre are filled with the same stock-in-trade characters and the same tired tropes and plots that lack depth…
If, like me, you loved Nora Goes Off Script , I’m happy to report that Monaghan’s latest, Summer Romance, is just as wonderful! The story is set in Beechwood, NY and has rescue dogs, sweet kids, skateboarding, beach time and so much more. It’s a gem. The story begins when Ali takes her dog, Ferris,…
Lyssa Kay Adams’ Bromance Book Club series takes on a holiday-tastic tale with its fifth volume. This book definitely bounces back from the series’ mid-stream doldrums, becoming the best I’ve read in the series since book two, Undercover Bromance. Even better: this is Colton’s book. The previous Christmas, country superstar Colton Wheeler had a one-night…
I’ve eagerly been snapping up the books in Rachel Ember’s Wild Ones series, so when I saw she had a new standalone novel coming out, I was eager to read it. Night & Day is an opposites attract romance between a recently separated lawyer and the guy he employs as the nanny for his infant…
Mona Shroff’s The Five Day Reunion is about a divorced couple pretending to be married for the duration of the hero’s sister’s wedding so as not to shock his recently-ill grandfather or provide fodder for his Indian aunts to criticize his mother. I didn’t see enough reason for the couple to go along with it,…
a Retro Review originally published on October 31, 2003 Patricia Potter’s first Silhouette Intimate Moments release, Home for Christmas, didn’t receive the attention it deserved when it first came out. Maybe because it was released the same month as Ruth Wind’s For Christmas, Forever and Suzanne Brockmann’s It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, both excellent…
The Singles Table is the whimsical, warm-hearted third novel in Sara Desai’s Marriage Game series. Each book stars members of the very large and extended Patel family but you do not have to have read any of the previous volumes to enjoy this one. Zara Patel is determined never to marry. That doesn’t mean, however,…
