Narrated by Gary Furlong Secondhand Skin is the second spin-off of Hailey Turner’s fabulous Soulbound series of inventive, action-packed urban fantasy novels set mostly in an AU New York City. Probably the most beloved secondary character of the series is Wade Espinoza, whom we first met as a traumatised teen who had been enslaved by…
Set in the same world as We Could Be So Good, Cat Sebastian’s You Should Be So Lucky is another gorgeously romantic and tender story that, while dealing with some heavy topics, manages to be warm, funny, honest and uplifting – and reminds us that although life might suck at times, it can also be…
Steven Salvatore is new-to-me, and I understand that they’ve previously published three successful queer YA novels. The Boyfriend Subscription is their first adult romance, and it’s a queered version of Pretty Woman in which the sex worker (Cole Vivian) is wealthy and the Edward character – in this case, Teddy Hughes – has just lost…
C.S. Poe’s Curio is a superbly-crafted little gem. The author packs a lot of story and characterisation into a mere sixty pages – it made me smile and sigh and swoon during the less-than-an-hour it took me to read it. Llewellyn – Lew – Cooper helps his wonderfully eccentric aunt Julia (“Remember the summer you…
Allie Therin returns to New York City in the 1920s with Once a Rogue, the follow up to Proper Scoundrels, a spin-off from her Magic in Manhattan series. In that book, centre stage belonged to Wesley Collins, Lord Fine, a cantankerous aristocrat and cynical, self-confessed arsehole, and powerful magic-user and dangerous marshmallow Sebastian de Leon,…
Your enjoyment of New Adult will depend on how funny you find the lead character and how compelling you find his predicament. While I liked Nolan. and enjoyed his plight and watching how he solved it, I had one single issue with this romantic comedy about a comedian – he is not a very funny…
Detectives Everett Larkin and Ira Doyle are back in the third Memento Mori book, Broadway Butchery. Like its predecessors, it’s a compelling and thoroughly engrossing read; a wonderful combination of gorgeous slow-burn romance and clever, tightly-plotted mystery that begins with Larkin, the star detective of the NYPD’s Cold Case Squad, once again called to a…
Cat Sebastian’s recent Regency historicals were a bit hit and miss for me, but I’ve really enjoyed the twentieth century historical romances she’s written lately, and now, this new standalone, We Could Be So Good, which is, well, just So. Very. Good. It’s set in New York in 1959, and charts the development of the…
Sam can’t escape the smash hit “Lost Boy” because, well, he is the lost boy. His pop-singer ex immortalized him in a song about his childish ways, and now his comedy career is on the line. At least he still has Bree, his best friend and confidante. Bree has always been there for Sam, but she’s never…
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…
