Dylan Morrison’s Fall Into You is billed as a romantic comedy, but I think the best description I’ve seen of it (genre-wise) is along the lines of ‘Emily Henry but gay’. There is a romance here, but the focus is more on the emotional journey of the narrator/protagonist, so I’d say it fits more into…
Fearne Hill kicks off her new Mis-shapes contemporary romance series with Maybe, a gorgeous slow-burn romance between step/adopted brothers that explores the complexities of grief, the weight of living with unhealthy expectations and learning to let go of those expectations to find happiness and forge your own path in life. Overworked junior doctor Isaac Fitz-Henry…
This month’s TBR Challenge prompt – “Do the Hustle” – had me a bit stumped because I didn’t think I had a book on my TBR that would fit. Then I started reading Felice Stevens’ Broken Silence and realised I did have one, because one of the leads is working several jobs in order to…
Narrated by J.F. Harding The multi-author Subparheroes series puts an interesting spin on the superhero genre, featuring characters whose superpowers are, well, less than ‘super’. In this story, Peregrine (Perry) Crawford has the ability to change colours – not himself (he’s not some kind of Chameleon Man), but of objects, whether it’s turning the puke-green…
Keep You Safe is the second book in Annabeth Albert’s Second Chance Ranch series, and returns readers to the Colorado property owned by Maverick Lovelorn, who has decided to stick around and turn the failing business he inherited into a dude ranch / holiday destination. I enjoyed this one more than the first book (Want…
Changes on Ice is a heartfelt and sensual age-gap romance featuring two hockey players from very different backgrounds at very different stages in their careers. While it’s the third book in the author’s Changes series, it can be read as a standalone; the first two books feature the same central characters (a throuple) but this…
I have to say that I approached Mr. Collins in Love with some degree of trepidation, because I’m not a fan of retellings, reimaginings or ‘variations’ (the market is awash with P&P ‘variations’ – Darcy is a pirate and Elizabeth his captive! (or vice versa), Elizabeth never went to Pemberley and is now a downtrodden…
Hudson River Homicides, the long-awaited fourth instalment in C.S. Poe’s Memento Mori series, opens, once again, with Detective Everett Larkin confronted with a dead body in a most unusual location. This time, the murder victim is inside a refrigerator which has been dumped in the Hudson River, and scrawled across the door in all caps…
Narrated by Darcy Stark Breaking the Ice is the fourth and final book in Beth Bolden’s Portland Evergreens series, and delivers the long-awaited answer to the question posed in earlier books – “what’s going on between Zach and Coach?” Zach Wheeler had been playing in the NHL for six years before realising that he disliked…
To Sketch a Scandal is book four in Jess Everlee’s Lucky Lovers of London series, and returns readers to late Victorian London and the convivial safe space carefully carved out for the local queer community at the underground club, the Curious Fox. There are a couple of things that didn’t quite work for me, but…
