Narrated by Darcy Stark Some of the events in On Thin Ice, the third book in Beth Bolden’s Portland Evergreens series of college-set hockey romances, overlap slightly with some of the things happening in the previous book (Cold as Ice), but the storylines are entirely separate, so you could listen to this one as a…
H.L. Day’s With One Kiss is the second book in her Paris Tales series, and the follow up to Never Too Late, which came out earlier this year. That story introduced us to Laurent Dupont, the laconic, witty, big-hearted (although call him that last one to his face and he’d probably kill you) Frenchman who…
Pucked Up is the second book in E.M. Lindsey’s Punk as Puck series featuring a group of friends on a community sled hockey team. I loved the previous book, Zero Pucks, in which the author does a great job of setting up the enemies-to-lovers romance that is the focus of this story, and I was…
Amy James’ Crash Test is an angsty and emotional story set in the world of motor racing that features two young drivers – one a contender for the Formula 1 world championship, the other driving in Formula 2 – whose lives are upended, in very different ways, by a horrific on-track accident. A serious or…
Allie Therin’s inventive and entertaining Roaring Twenties Magic series comes to a rousing conclusion with Viscounts & Villainy, in which our heroes – upper-crust cynic and self-professed arsehole Wesley, Lord Fine, and “dangerous marshmallow” Sebastian de Leon – come face-to-face with probably their most dangerous (and unhinged) foe yet. This story links back to events…
It’s always sad to say goodbye to characters you’ve come to know and love over the course of a long-running series, and bittersweet, too, because even though they’ve been through the emotional wringer, they’ve ended up exactly where they’re supposed to be – happy with each other and looking forward to the rest of their…
To Defend a Damaged Duke, Fearne Hill’s second foray into historical romance, is a cross-class, second-chance love story featuring a rather serious, introverted duke and the prickly owner of a gentleman’s club, who were lovers as young men – but were cruelly separated and have not seen each other for a decade. Rather like the…
Like Cat Sebastian’s 2023 release, We Could Be So Good, her earlier Peter Cabot Gets Lost is very much a “vibes over plot” story that keeps its focus very much on the development of the opposites-attract romance between the two leads. It’s funny and charming and utterly captivating, and I loved every minute I spent…
A lovely, winsome tale about a Summer That Changes Everything, Summer Girls is about life in a small beach town and showcases the ordinary-extraordinariness of falling in real love with the most unlikely suspect. While it’s not A-level material thanks to its rather plain dryness, it’s still a fine romance that most teenagers will be…
Body Check, book two in Brigham Vaughn’s Scoring Chances series, is an engaging and thoughtful age-gap romance between two men who have good reason to be wary of relationships but who, after an inauspicious start, are willing to work on their hang-ups and insecurities in order to move forward together. The characters are well-developed and…
