I was very impressed by Jess Everlee’s début, The Gentleman’s Book of Vices, a queer romance set in late Victorian London featuring a superbly written and emotional grumpy/sunshine romance, so I’ve been eagerly looking forward to reading more from her. A Rulebook for Restless Rogues is book two in the Lucky Lovers of London series,…
H.L. Day’s Scoring Points is part of a multi-author series set in the world of Formula 1 racing – which isn’t a sport I’ve seen featured in a romance novel before. (It must have been done – I just haven’t read it!) The series includes books by popular m/m authors including Lisa Henry, Charlie Novak…
G.B. Gordon’s Bottom Line is the sequel to 2022’s By the Book and the second in the Follow the Money series, about an FBI agent working white collar crimes and the younger forensic accountant with whom he becomes romantically involved while investigating an elaborate money laundering scheme. The story was perhaps a bit formulaic, but it…
Having thoroughly enjoyed A.J. Demas’ Sword Dance when I read it for a TBR Challenge prompt recently, I quickly picked up book two, Saffron Alley, which provides a change of pace and focus in that it’s centred far more on Varazda’s domestic life and the growth of his relationship with Damiskos than on a mystery….
Have you ever read a romance that leaves you feeling glad all over?

Barber shop owner Patricia – Peaches – Monroe and nail tech and chemistry…
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…
Despite the Depression era setting, Aster Glenn Gray’s Tramps and Vagabonds generally has an upbeat feel to it as we join James and Timothy, who decide to ride the rails after they finish a six-month stint at the CCC – the Civilian Conservation Corps, an organisation founded in 1933 that provided jobs for unemployed young men….
Outrun the Rain is the first book in N.R. Walker’s new Storm Boys trilogy, a same-couple series in which the two leads are a geeky fulminologist (someone who studies lightning) and a free-spirited storm chaser based in Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory. It’s a quick, fun read, featuring likeable characters and a superbly rendered setting,…
Narrated by Gary Furlong We’re slowly seeing more characters in their forties appearing in romance novels, even though they’re still a fairly small minority. Romantic leads in their fifties, however, are still quite rare, and to find two of them in the same book – as the central couple – is even rarer. Jay Hogan…
With Marsh, Levi and their allies finally closing the net around the arms-dealing/people-trafficking/money-laundering organisation they’ve been working to bring down, King Hunt is a flurry of fast-talk and high-stakes action featuring a dizzying array of characters and a lot of moving parts. This final book in Layla Reyne’s Perfect Play series follows directly on from…
