I’m always on the lookout for good m/m romantic suspense novels or series, so when new-to-me author Thom Collins’ Nothing But the Night was offered for review, I decided it was worth a look. The synopsis sounded interesting, and I always like to find stories set in the UK – even though the town of…
Narrated by Kale Williams Follows With Intent is a single-title romantic suspense novel that first saw light of day as a weekly serial for members of Gregory Ashe’s patronage platform. It’s part of the Hazardverse: Sidetracks series, which consists (so far) of a couple of sets of short stories and flash fiction (Tangents) and two…
It’s been over three-and-a-half years since we last spent time with confidential informant Rufus O’Callaghan and army veteran Sam Auden, so to say this third instalment of the Auden & O’Callaghan Mysteries has been long awaited is a bit of an understatement! Of course, both authors have been keeping a lot of other plates spinning…
Narrated by Joe Jameson, Will M. Watt & Benjamin Crow Against the Stars is an inventive and heartrending YA romance set in a world in which everyone is offered the chance to have a forty-four second Glimpse into their future when they reach the age of sixteen. When Elliot Dove drunkenly attempts to kiss his…
Gregory Ashe is primarily known for writing intricate, gritty mysteries with romantic sub-plots featuring complex but flawed characters who fall in love (usually very slowly!) while solving said mysteries, but of late, he’s been flexing his writing muscles and exploring different genres. Earlier this year, he embarked on The Last Picks series of cosy mysteries…
Narrated by Zachary Johnson Nazri Noor’s fast-paced and imaginative fantasy/urban fantasy romances are a lot of fun and I’ve enjoyed a number of his books over the past couple of years. His latest release, Grave Misfortune, is in the unique position of (I think) being the only standalone he’s published, so if you want to…
Timothy Janovsky’s The Merriest Misters is a mash up of a marriage-in-trouble story and The Santa Clause – yes, really! – that I mostly enjoyed but which, unfortunately, fails to stick the landing. It’s well-written and the issues the couple are dealing (or not dealing) with are recognisable and realistic, but the ending is dissatisfying…
Something we reviewers often say is that the hardest books to review are the middling ones; the ones that aren’t terrible but aren’t great and are just kind of okay. Unfortunately, Jack Strange’s début, Look Up, Handsome, doesn’t quite get to ‘okay’ levels; it’s billed as a rom-com but is neither romantic nor funny, the…
Broken Bird, book four in Gregory Ashe’s The Last Picks series of cosy mysteries delivers another enjoyable, fast-paced read that really showcases the author’s talent for balancing laugh-out-loud humour with heartfelt emotion. It’s a bit of a change of gear from Doom Magnet’s Dash-and-Bobby-focused deliciousness, but it makes sense to slow things down(Bobby has a…
Fun, fantastic, big-hearted and filled with genuine laughs, The Bump is a breezy, fun, but emotional ride through America. It’s the perfect beach read. Serious minded commercial director Wyatt Wallace and breezy magazine columnist Massimo ‘Biz’ Petterelli are trying to have a baby. Sure, their neurotic Airedale, Matilda, keeps them plenty busy, and their entertainment…
