Nobody does gritty, angsty and deeply romantic quite like Garrett Leigh. Just This Once is the first book in her new Men of Porth Luck series, which features a chosen family of misfits who are working hard to make ends meet in a small Cornish town. Porth Luck is a spin off from the author’s…
I do love a good redemption story, and E.M. Lindsey’s Absolutely Pucked is a very good one. The Punked as Puck series features three ride-or-die best friends who play hockey in local community leagues for differently abled players, and while I loved the first book and wasn’t wild about the second, I’ve been looking forward…
Slew Foot is the third book in Brigham Vaughn’s Scoring Chances series featuring the lives and loves of the guys of the Boston Harriers hockey team. It’s not essential to have read the previous books in order to understand this one, but like most series of this type (where there’s a large-ish cast of teammates…
Note: A Breath of Life is book four in a same-couple series in which the relationship arc is ongoing. The previous three books should be read before this one. This fourth book in Nicky James’ Shadowy Solutions series picks up a few months after Reading Between the Lines ended, and it finds Tallus and Diem…
This month’s ‘friend squad’ prompt had me picking up Tal Bauer’s You & Me, which is both a gorgeous slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance between two forty-something single dads, and a fantastic story about an estranged father and son finding their way back to each other. I was completely captivated by it, although I will admit that…
KD Casey’s Breakout Year is a charming and heartfelt opposites attract / fake-dating story featuring a professional baseball player and a former player who now ekes out a living as a writer and occasional model. The slow-burn romance between these two is swoony, sweet, and beautifully done, and the story is a bit different to…
The Quarterlands brings Xanthe Walter’s compelling Dark Water series to an exciting and thoroughly satisfying close, trying up all the loose ends and resolving the intricate mysteries at the heart of the series. As this is a story spanning four books, it’s essential to have read the first three before this one, and this review…
The Question of Us is the second book in Jay Hogan’s Fisher & Church romantic suspense series, and it follows our two protagonists – Nick Fisher and Madigan Church – as they process the events that took place at the end of The Meaning of You while figuring out who they are to each other…
Dylan Morrison’s Fall Into You is billed as a romantic comedy, but I think the best description I’ve seen of it (genre-wise) is along the lines of ‘Emily Henry but gay’. There is a romance here, but the focus is more on the emotional journey of the narrator/protagonist, so I’d say it fits more into…
Fearne Hill kicks off her new Mis-shapes contemporary romance series with Maybe, a gorgeous slow-burn romance between step/adopted brothers that explores the complexities of grief, the weight of living with unhealthy expectations and learning to let go of those expectations to find happiness and forge your own path in life. Overworked junior doctor Isaac Fitz-Henry…
