This month’s TBR Challenge prompt – “Do the Hustle” – had me a bit stumped because I didn’t think I had a book on my TBR that would fit. Then I started reading Felice Stevens’ Broken Silence and realised I did have one, because one of the leads is working several jobs in order to…
Narrated by J.F. Harding The multi-author Subparheroes series puts an interesting spin on the superhero genre, featuring characters whose superpowers are, well, less than ‘super’. In this story, Peregrine (Perry) Crawford has the ability to change colours – not himself (he’s not some kind of Chameleon Man), but of objects, whether it’s turning the puke-green…
Keep You Safe is the second book in Annabeth Albert’s Second Chance Ranch series, and returns readers to the Colorado property owned by Maverick Lovelorn, who has decided to stick around and turn the failing business he inherited into a dude ranch / holiday destination. I enjoyed this one more than the first book (Want…
Changes on Ice is a heartfelt and sensual age-gap romance featuring two hockey players from very different backgrounds at very different stages in their careers. While it’s the third book in the author’s Changes series, it can be read as a standalone; the first two books feature the same central characters (a throuple) but this…
I have to say that I approached Mr. Collins in Love with some degree of trepidation, because I’m not a fan of retellings, reimaginings or ‘variations’ (the market is awash with P&P ‘variations’ – Darcy is a pirate and Elizabeth his captive! (or vice versa), Elizabeth never went to Pemberley and is now a downtrodden…
Hudson River Homicides, the long-awaited fourth instalment in C.S. Poe’s Memento Mori series, opens, once again, with Detective Everett Larkin confronted with a dead body in a most unusual location. This time, the murder victim is inside a refrigerator which has been dumped in the Hudson River, and scrawled across the door in all caps…
Narrated by Darcy Stark Breaking the Ice is the fourth and final book in Beth Bolden’s Portland Evergreens series, and delivers the long-awaited answer to the question posed in earlier books – “what’s going on between Zach and Coach?” Zach Wheeler had been playing in the NHL for six years before realising that he disliked…
To Sketch a Scandal is book four in Jess Everlee’s Lucky Lovers of London series, and returns readers to late Victorian London and the convivial safe space carefully carved out for the local queer community at the underground club, the Curious Fox. There are a couple of things that didn’t quite work for me, but…
Narrated by Darcy Stark Some of the events in On Thin Ice, the third book in Beth Bolden’s Portland Evergreens series of college-set hockey romances, overlap slightly with some of the things happening in the previous book (Cold as Ice), but the storylines are entirely separate, so you could listen to this one as a…
H.L. Day’s With One Kiss is the second book in her Paris Tales series, and the follow up to Never Too Late, which came out earlier this year. That story introduced us to Laurent Dupont, the laconic, witty, big-hearted (although call him that last one to his face and he’d probably kill you) Frenchman who…
