Eight Weeks in Paris is a contemporary queer romance between two actors who find themselves dealing with simmering tension, and not just when the cameras are rolling. Nicholas Madden is an established actor with a reputation for being difficult and whos has a contentious relationship with the press. In spite of this, Nicholas has no…
I do like a well-done second-chance romance, so I’m pleased to be able to say that H.L. Day’s latest comtemporary, Never Too Late, is exactly that – a charming and satisfying second-time-around slow-burn love story involving a real commitment to fixing what went wrong, honest communication and personal growth. Finn Prescott and Cillian King have…
You know how they say you should never judge a book by its cover? Well, I did, and boy was that ever a mistake. The lovely artwork on the jacket of The Winged Tiara envelopes a slap-sticky 1920s heist plot starring two very shallow characters glamorously traversing the world in search of a particular item…
In Jacqueline in Paris, you will not encounter the sophisticate who sparked a passion for style and grace from the White House, the world’s most famous widow, nor the woman who married Aristotle Onassis and later forged a life for herself in New York City. Instead, Ann Mah introduces readers to a different sort of…
Elisabeth Hobbes’ Daughters of Paris is a story of intrigue, romance, and redemption. I found it to be an enjoyable if somewhat predictable read till the end of the novel, where things took a turn for the worse. While playing in the yard of the high-end Parisian apartment building in which they live, best friends…

Well-known contemporary romance writer Adriana Herrera pens her first historical romance with A Caribbean Heiress in Paris, the story of an marriage of convenience between two ambitious, strong-willed people seeking to gain control of their lives. Caribbean-based Dominican/Scottish heiress Luz Alana Heith-Benzan is headed to the Exposition Universelle of 1889 in the hope of selling…
Lucy Foley’s The Guest List was one of my favorite mysteries of 2020 so naturally, when The Paris Apartment came up for review, I was eager to read it. Like The Guest List, the events in this book take place over the course of just a few days and the plot resembles a locked room…
I eagerly await the release of a new Sebastian St. Cyr book every year; we’re up to book seventeen with When Blood Lies and it’s one of the best of the recent instalments, a fabulous blend of whodunit and history set in Paris in March of 1815, in the days leading up to Napoleon’s escape…
The Brightest Star in Paris is the follow up to Diana Biller’s 2019 début, The Widow of Rose House. I haven’t got around to reading that one, but I gather that the books are linked by virtue of the fact that the hero of Brightest Star – Doctor Benedict Moore – is the brother of…
