Narrated by J.F. Harding Fly Away Home is an engaging, low-angst contemporary romance in which a mystery writer falls for the hot detective who – very briefly – suspects he may be up to no good. The reasons for that are a bit silly; author Colson Delacourt, in a café while talking on the phone…
In The City Without End, Kelly Jensen returns to the universe she created for 2018’s To See the Sun, although this story is set at the other end of it! The romance centres around the arranged marriage between two scions of the First Families of the glittering city of Zhemosen, and is set against a…
Narrated by Will Watt 10 Things That Never Happened is the first in a new series from Alexis Hall, Material World. It’s kind of a spin-off from London Calling insofar as one of the leads made a brief appearance in Husband Material, but there are no crossover characters or storylines – this story is completely…
Narrated by Darcy Stark I enjoyed this slow-burn, veteran/rookie romance even though I know nothing about baseball! Most of that detail went over my head, but the leads have strong chemistry and I liked the fact that this wasn’t one of those stories that basically goes “we can’t do this” – they do it anyway…
August’s Thief may be small, but it’s big-hearted and packs a lot of story into its sixty-two pages. It’s a heartwarming opposites-attract story about finding love while remaining true to who you are featuring a ray of sunshine who pushes through all the clouds surrounding him and a not-too grumpy man with a lot of…
The prompt New Year, Who Dis? kicks off the 2025 TBR Challenge, so I chose to read a book by a new-to-me author. The Oak and the Ash is the third book in Annick Trent’s The Old Bridge Inn series, but there are no overarching plotlines so each of the books in the series stands…
The second book in Jax Calder’s Rainbow Redemption series, Reckless Hearts is an angsty, deeply emotional romance that spans almost a decade. While this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone; Tim, Jamie, and a couple of characters from Beautiful Hearts make cameo appearances but while it’s definitely…
This fourth book in Ari Baran’s Penalty Box series is a second-chance romance featuring two top-flight hockey players who are at or near the end of their playing careers and are not handling the prospect of change at all well. It’s an emotional and very messy story, somewhat darker and more sombre in tone than…
Dash and the Last Picks are back in Again With Feeling, book six in Gregory Ashe’s cosy mystery series set in and around the fictional Portland town of Hastings Rock. I don’t mind admitting that I came away from the previous book (Between You and Me) feeling frustrated by the amount of emotional constipation on…
The Rules of Royalty takes one drop of Red, White and Royal Blue, one drop of The Princess Diaries, and then it swishes it about in a beaker. The end result isn’t bad, but not original enough to warrant anything above a B grade. But it’s a pleasant, enjoyable story. Jamie Johnson is just as…
