Novellas are generally a bit hit and miss for me – they can feel rushed or too insubstantial – so I’m very selective about which ones I read. I enjoy Kaje Harper’s work, and she writes fabulous short stories which she posts on her Facebook page every Sunday, so I was pretty sure her new…
Narrated by Gomez Pugh I struggled to find something to fit this month’s “Older Couple” TBR Challenge prompt – not because I don’t like the trope, but because I do; I’ve read all the books I own that feature older couples (which I count as people in their forties and/or fifties.) So I ended up…
I’ve been reading and listening to a lot of hockey romance lately – not because it’s something I gravitate to; rather it’s because a lot of my favourite authors and narrators are producing a lot of it! – but E.M. Lindsey’s new Punk as Puck series is hockey romance with a difference in that the…
Narrated by Nick J. Russo Puck Love, the sixth and final book in Lane Hayes’ Elmwood Stories series (set in fictional, small-town Vermont) is a sexy, fun and relatively low-angst listen that nonetheless manages to pack and emotional punch in the right places. I’ve listened to a couple of the earlier books in the series,…
Annabeth Albert opens her new Second Chance Ranch series with a small-town, second-chance romance between two best friends who reunite after more than twenty years to find that the spark that ignited their youthful love affair has never faded. Want You Back has a lot going for it and I enjoyed reading it, but I’ve…
Overexposed first saw light of day as a short story in 2020’s Working Stiffs anthology. It was one of the stories in the collection that worked well for me and I planned to check out other books by K. Evan Coles and the other authors whose work I’d enjoyed, but… I probably got sidetracked by…
Narrated by James Edward Jones The Home Game is book four in Brigham Vaughn’s Relationship Goals series, although it can be read or listened to as a standalone; there are recurring characters but each story is self-contained and the central couple in each one gets their HEA by the end. All the books in the…
The Big Adios, book three in H.L. Day’s Paranormal Problems: Necromancers series, returns us to the world of the Paranormal Problems Bureau for another exciting and intriguing story featuring a high-stakes plot and a fated-mates romance. It winds up the overarching plotline begun in book one, Deader than Dead and continued in the second, Dropping…
When the Tides Held the Moon is a captivating and imaginative historical fantasy with a beautiful romance at its heart, set amid the carnivals and sideshows of 1910s Coney Island. I admit that I first noticed it because of its beautiful cover – and I’m not normally someone who takes notice of covers (I read…
The first book in a new series from Jax Calder, The Revenge Game is a tender, messy and heartfelt romance featuring two emotionally damaged but likeable leads, plenty of humour and lots of solid, genuine character growth. It’s entertaining while also addressing some serious issues in a sensitive but honest way, looking at the long-term…
