The Gay Best Friend is a fun story about coming into your own and stepping into your own light. It features some infidelity though, as well as two accidental outings, which may discomfit some readers. Kate Wallace, Domenic Marino, and Patrick Cooper have been best friends for ages, and they’re always there to help one…
Narrated by Nicholas Boulton A.J. Lancaster’s Stariel series is (according to its blurb) a romantic cozy fantasy series about fae, magical estates, and complicated families. The series is set in a Victorian-ish AU in a world where the Mortal and Faerie worlds have recently begun to reconnect after a three-hundred-year separation, and the first four…
Jay Hogan kicks off her new Mackenzie Country series, set amid the spectacular scenery of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, with The Art of Husbandry, a beautiful story in which she skilfully and sensitively balances a storyline involving grief and terrible loss with the development of a deeply emotional romance. After the death of his ten-year-old…
I’ve read and enjoyed several of Briar Prescott’s books, but this one, I outright loved. Until You is the first in a new series, and it’s a emotional, touching and heartfelt slow-burn love story about a young man whose life takes an most unexpected turn after a single, momentous decision brought the life he’d known…

Otherwise, it’s a perfect spring romance with a lot of rollicking ease to it. Max Moody and Chasten Benchley are coming at an important wedding from two different sides of…
Fearne Hill continues her Nailed It! series with Cloud Nine, in which the protagonists are the two younger brothers of Frankie and Lysander from the previous book, Cloud Ten. I admit that I find books/series where sets of siblings fall for each other a bit… contrived, but I enjoy Ms. Hill’s work and know I…
Book one in the new Safe Harbour series, Annabeth Albert’s Bring Me Home is a sexy, tender and thoughful age-gap romance about finding what, who and where you’re meant to be, being open to possibilities and counfounding expectations. The set-up reminded me a bit of At Attention – not a bad thing as it’s one…
Fauxmance in the Falls is the first book in the Devon Falls series by J.E. Birk, an author I first became aware of through her books in the multi-authored Vino and Veritas series. Fauxmance is set in small-town Vermont and features all the things you’d expect from the trope – quirky townsfolk who know everyone…
