You’re the Problem, It’s You is the second book in Emma R. Alban’s Mischief & Matchmaking historical romance duology that began with Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend. You’re the Problem is a mostly lighthearted m/m romance that, despite being billed as enemies-to-lovers by the blurb is really about two men jumping to conclusions…
It’s been just over seven years since Layla Reyne’s début romantic suspense series featuring FBI agents Aidan Talley and Jameson Walker hit the bookshelves in 2017, although both characters have made cameo appearances in some of the author’s other books, and the Whiskeyverse, as it’s become known, has expanded to include a lot of other…
A Second Harvest is a quiet but emotional contemporary romance set in rural Pennsylvania. I decided to read it for August’s TBR Challenge prompt – “Everyday Heroes” – because I think there’s something heroic about a person making a conscious decision to divert from the path they’ve walked their entire life and walk a different…
This second book in H.L. Day’s Paranormal Problems series is a fantastic mixture of paranormal mystery, police procedural and angsty second-chance romance that had me glued to it from start to finish. Like the previous book (Deader Than Dead), Dropping Like Flies features a central couple who are fated mates; unlike that book, while the…
Magic Escaping is the sequel to 2023’s Magic Burning, Kaje Harper’s entry in the first set of Carnival of Mysteries stories. In that book we met elementary school teacher Alan Hiranchai – who is also an unregistered sorcerer – and his familiar, a snarky, opinionated and talkative conure named Sunny – and watched Alan fall…
Lonely Shore, book two in Burke and Jensen’s Chaos Station series of Sci-fi romances is a rip-your-heart-out-and-stomp-on-it kinda book in the best possible way. Picking up around a month after the events of Chaos Station, Lonely Shore is a more emotional, relationship-focused story, although there’s also a strong secondary plotline that keeps things moving. Note:…
The Pairing is without a doubt Casey McQuiston’s horniest book – it’s also their most sensual one, filled with lush descriptions of food and luxury locales and tourist spots. And yet it’s also the weakest book I’ve read of theirs. The author knows what they’re doing when the book opens with a quote from Mr….
Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen’s five-book Chaos Station sci-fi romance series was originally published between 2015 and 2016. The series has been on my TBR ever since Maria Rose gave book one a DIK review back in 2015, and as the authors have now republished the series with some spiffy new covers and new material…
The Carnival of Magic multi-author series of paranormal/fantasy romances is back for a second run with some authors returning with all new stories or sequels, and some authors joining in for the first time. Liv Rancourt’s The Villain Who Wasn’t is actually a sequel to The Accidental Necromancer (her entry in the Subparheroes series), taking…
Off the Clock is the second book in Annabeth Albert’s latest series about a group of first responder friends who live in the fictional Oregon town of Mount Hope. A low-angst, age gap romance, it isn’t going to win any prizes for originality, but it’s an entertaining, character-driven story that underlines the importance of taking…
