When the Tides Held the Moon is a captivating and imaginative historical fantasy with a beautiful romance at its heart, set amid the carnivals and sideshows of 1910s Coney Island. I admit that I first noticed it because of its beautiful cover – and I’m not normally someone who takes notice of covers (I read…
The first book in a new series from Jax Calder, The Revenge Game is a tender, messy and heartfelt romance featuring two emotionally damaged but likeable leads, plenty of humour and lots of solid, genuine character growth. It’s entertaining while also addressing some serious issues in a sensitive but honest way, looking at the long-term…
Jay Hogan changes lanes for her latest book, the first in a romantic suspense series featuring two guys in their fifties who become the unwitting targets of some dangerous people when one of them discovers some unsettling facts about his late husband. The Meaning of You is a terrific read – a compelling page-turner in…
Cold as Ice is book two in Beth Bolden’s new series of hockey romances set at a fictional Portland University, but I didn’t feel I’d missed anything by not listening to book one, Melting the Ice. I freely admit that college-age romances aren’t ones I gravitate towards, but I’ve enjoyed books by Ms. Bolden before…
I ventured to the other side of the world for April’s Location, Location, Location TBR Challenge prompt, and a story set in late nineteenth century Australia. By the Currawong’s Call is a superbly written story set in 1891 in a small town in the outback, featuring two engaging, well-rounded protagonists, a beatifully developed romance and…

Eli Easton returns to rural Pennsylvania for a new book (the third) in her Men of Lancaster County series, and a heartfelt, age-gap romance between two wounded men who need to heal and learn to trust themselves. Season of the Witch is full of the complex emotions and connections and feelings that continue to draw…
Narrated by James Edward Jones I read The Head Game, an antagonists-to-lovers hockey romance with a touch of While You Were Sleeping thrown in, late last year and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to experiencing it again in audio. Narrator James Edward Jones is new-to-me, and I will admit that it took…
Narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo Betrothed to the Emperor is the first book in the new Emperor’s Assassin series by not-quite-new-to-me author, Kai Butler (I have a couple of their other books in audio but haven’t got around to listening to them yet!) I liked the sound of it; a fantasy romance between an assassin and…
