Aster Glenn Gray is, in my humble opinion, a very underrated writer. I’ve only read a handful of her books, but they’ve all been well written and innovative, both thoughtful and thought-provoking, and the author is clearly not afraid to take risks in order to tell the story she wants to tell – even if…
Fearne Hill’s Cloud White, third book in her Nailed It! series, is an angsty, emotional friends-to-lovers romance featuring long-time besties, Milo and Mungo, who, thanks to a combination of insecurities and bad timing have been dancing around each other for years. When we met them in the other books in the series, their connection leapt…
Arden Powell’s Flos Magicae series of 1920s set fantasy romances comprises a mixture of full-length novels and novellas that can be read in any order. I’ve been meaning to give their books a try for a while, so I picked up the most recent entry, A Thief and a Gentleman, which features a romance between…
Kaje Harper’s entry in the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries series is a small-town romance between a lonely elementary school teacher – who happens to be a sorcerer – and a sexy firefighter, featuring a snarky, fast-talking Conure and more than a touch of magic. The series is eventually going to boast sixteen titles and they…
When I first read Maxym M. Martineau’s Kingdom of Exiles, book one of her Beast Charmers series, I was enthralled with the world she created, making that title my favourite read of 2019. She finished that series with two more titles, The Frozen Prince and The Shattered Crown. She also made an interesting pivot: while…
I didn’t have to look far to find a book to read for the “opposites attract” prompt this month. I’ve been meaning to read this one for a while, and as the two protagonists in Fearne Hill’s To Take a Quiet Breath (book three in her Rossingley series) are as opposite as opposite can be – in terms of…
Annabeth Albert returns to Safe Harbor for Make Me Stay, book two in her trilogy featuring three long-time friends set in a small Oregon town. This one is a mature, hurt/comfort romance between two wounded men who have spent so many years denying any vulnerability that they are now stuck, in their different ways, with…
Nicky James takes a short break from her fabulous Valor and Doyle series with this new standalone romantic suspense title, Everything I Didn’t Know. I have to confess to something of a fascination with cults and how they operate, so the premise of this novel – a young man whose eyes have been opened to…
I was very impressed by Jess Everlee’s début, The Gentleman’s Book of Vices, a queer romance set in late Victorian London featuring a superbly written and emotional grumpy/sunshine romance, so I’ve been eagerly looking forward to reading more from her. A Rulebook for Restless Rogues is book two in the Lucky Lovers of London series,…
H.L. Day’s Scoring Points is part of a multi-author series set in the world of Formula 1 racing – which isn’t a sport I’ve seen featured in a romance novel before. (It must have been done – I just haven’t read it!) The series includes books by popular m/m authors including Lisa Henry, Charlie Novak…
