This book should have been a novella. The premise is fine for 150 pages: a San Francisco marketing executive, burnt out and in need of a break, books a solo trip to New Zealand. On her first day, she’s caught in a riptide and rescued by a man who turns out to be the most…
Just Come Over comes straight from my TBR pile, and proved to be an unexpected joy. It’s twelve in Rosalind James’ rugby-themed Escape to New Zealand series, and has opened up a whole back catalogue for me to explore! The book includes a list of all the characters from the series and a little glossary…
I really enjoyed Jax Calder’s Beautiful Hearts when I read it for the TBR Challenge last year, and intended to try some of her other books although, as usual, the issue was finding the time! I finally managed to get around to reading Playing Offside, book one in her Sporting Secrets series, set in New…
I’ve been reading the Sydney Smoke Rugby series by Amy Andrews since the first book, Playing by Her Rules was released in 2016. Seven years later, Playing it Tough, book eight, has the same energy, strong characters and sexy romance as the previous entries, a feat indeed. Unlike previous entries though, the hero of this…
I haven’t read anything by Amy Andrews before, but the blurb for Playing it Safe – her first m/m romance and the seventh book in her Sydney Smoke series set in the world of Australian Rugby Union – caught my eye. It’s an enjoyable, well-written and steamy read, and although it’s nothing I haven’t read…
Book five in the Auckland Med series (I’m not sure it’s the last one?), You Are Cordially Invited is ‘The One With the Wedding’ – although it’s much more than a fluffy wedding short – in which everyone’s favourite, fabulous, feisty Charge Nurse, Cam Wano, ties the knot with the love of his life, Reuben…
Jay Hogan returns to her Auckland Med. series with Against the Grain, which features a romance between sassy spitfire pathologist’s assistant Sandy Williams (who appeared as a key secondary character in the last book, Up Close and Personal) and Miller Harrison, a member of the Wheel Blacks elite wheelchair rubgy team as well as a…
I am a sucker for an Amy Andrews book. After reading as much of her back catalogue as I can get my hands on, Ms. Andrews is an author that I just know is going to provide me a happy escape and a satisfying ending. Playing With Trouble is no exception. Additionally, it’s a creative…
Talia Hibbert is a master craftsperson when it comes to romance novels, and she continues to demonstrate her ability to woo a reader’s heart with her latest release, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, book two in her Brown Sisters series. Part-time teacher and PhD student Danika – Dani – Brown has a great life. She…
Love Hard is the third book in the Hard Play series, a fact you can’t miss because the book opens by narrating the wedding of previous characters – for EIGHT CHAPTERS. Eventually, you’ll get to the actual plot of this book, and it’s quite nice, but it takes way too long to get there. As…
