This second book in Jay Hogan’s Mackenzie Country series features a sexy and emotional romance between two men who are grieving the loss of family and the life they’d envisaged for themselves while trying to find a new path forward into a different future. They also happen to be the exes of the principal characters…
A World Away is one of those books that hooked me from the very first page and kept me eagerly turning the pages and getting ever closer to the edge of my seat as the plot unfolded and the stakes kept getting higher. It’s a creative and imaginitive mix of fantasy, sci-fi and romance, a riff…
Alexis Hall begins a new series – Material World – with 10 Things That Never Happened, an opposites-attract romance between two very lonely people who come together through some rather unlikely circumstances. All the things I enjoy about Mr. Hall’s books are here – the characters are flawed and very real, it’s often laugh-out-loud funny,…
All I knew about Kacen Callender’s Stars in Your Eyes when I picked it up for review was that it’s a celebrity fake-dating romance between a troubled bad-boy actor and his more likeable, sunny-natured co-star. Having enjoyed Ava Wilder’s How to Fake it in Hollywood – a deeply emotional, character-driven romance featuring complex, flawed but…
Our final visit to the small (fictional) Oregon town of Safe Harbor brings with it the story of the couple who have been in the background of the previous books – Sam Bookman, who is, in many ways, the heart of the Safe Harbor community, and Worth Stapleton, who hasn’t been back in decades, and…
Sebastian Nothwell’s Fiorenzo is a standalone tale of love and triumph over adversity set in a world inspired by the Venetian Republic in what feels like the late seventeenth/early eighteenth century. The author calls it a “fantasy of manners” – which brings to mind the comedies of manners of that period, with their secret identities,…
Best Supporting Actor is the third book in the Creative Types series from the very talented author duo of Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm. The two leads are characters we’ve met before in secondary roles in the earlier books, popular actor Jay Warren – star of the hit vampire show, Leeches – and Tag O’Rourke,…
Rachel Reid’s Time to Shine is one of my most highly anticipated new books of 2023. The success of her much loved Game Changers series means reader expectations are high – and I’ll admit that while I really hoped this book would live up to them, I’ve also seen one too many an author fail…
Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding The New Guy is the first book in The Hockey Guys, a spin-off from Sarina Bowen’s popular Brooklyn Bruisers series. The story itself is nothing you haven’t read or listened to before, but the characters have plenty of chemistry, their romance is nicely done, and while the conflict…
Jax Calder is a new-to-me author who has been on my radar for a while but whose books I haven’t got around to reading yet – and the “new author” prompt provided the opportunity to remedy that. Beautiful Hearts is the first in her Rainbow Redemption series set in and around Auckland, New Zealand; it’s an age-gap romance featuring…
