Zomromcom is Olivia Dade’s first foray into paranormal romance and it’s a cracker! Edie Brandstrup lives alone in her old family home in an isolated corner of West Virginia, some twenty years after the first zombie apocalypse. When she sees a zombie heading for her neighbour, gormless dude-bro Chad, she intercepts it, even though she…
Charlotte Stein has been writing for several years, starting in the erotic romance field and has recently turned her hand to contemporary romance. Her popular 2024 release When Grumpy Met Sunshine introduced readers to Mabel and Alfie, and Mabel’s best friend Connie is the star of this new release, My Big Fat Fake Marriage. Connie…
This is the Jenny L. Howe I’ve been missing, even if the end result is a little flawed. How to Get a Life in Ten Dates is a sparkly, smart and well-crafted romance with lots of pep. It’s worth noting that the heroine reads a little younger than her years, and there’s a lot of…
This is what joy feels like – Charlotte Stein’s How to Help a Hungry Werewolf is so funny and steamy and adorably cute – a hilarious slow burn paranormal romantic comedy. It’s tongue in cheek, and celebrates all the silliness of everything mystical and magical. I loved it! Cassie Camberwell, is back in town cleaning…
Marcela Ortiz has had a crush on Ben Young for well over eight years (!!) and, in My Best Friend’s Wedding style, Ben has become engaged to another woman, Alice.

It’s the third book in the author’s Supernatural Singles series and the first one I’ve read. (The author also writes romantic suspense under the pen…
Olivia Dade’s At First Spite is the first in her new contemporary romance series Harlot’s Bay, named after the residence of the characters in Harlot’s Bay, Maryland. It’s a romantic comedy, but does deal with some pretty heavy emotional themes (the author prefaces the story with a content note). If a book can make me…
Mabel Willicker, heroine of Charlotte Stein’s latest standalone romance, When Grumpy met Sunshine, has ghostwritten several minor memoirs, but working with Alfie Harding – infamously standoffish footballing legend – would put her career in another league. But when he’s a jerk at their first meeting, Mabel, atypically, sets a boundary and walks out. Alfie, however,…
Curves for Days is a lovely little romance that tells a worthwhile story about two emotionally scarred people who find themselves falling in love. Moher delivers an excellent small town romance but there are a couple of issues that keep this from being an A – including a weak third act. Alice Rose Barnes is…
I love a story that takes me into a setting in detail, but the people who inhabit this setting have to be developed as well. So while I loved the big no-expense-spared New Jersey desi wedding in Nisha Sharma’s Tastes Like Shakkar, I couldn’t enjoy the incompetent wedding planner heroine or intermittent kinkster hero who…
