The Nanny is a contemporary romance about Cassie, a young woman finishing her master’s who needs a good job, and Aiden, the chef who hires her to look after his daughter. It’s a great job, well-paid, live-in, and Sophie, the daughter, is a fun kid. The only problem is that Cassie knows Aiden – he…
I just re-read Molly O’Keefe’s Between the Sheets and was surprised to find out we actually don’t have a review of it in the database. It’s a strong story that manages, in a couple of areas, to be truly exceptional, and is well worth a read. Shelby Monroe, an art teacher in Bishop, Arkansas, doesn’t…
A Dash of Salt and Pepper is a delightfully warm-hearted tale about two chefs who find love together in spite of their career doubts and family pressures. The romance is heady, the scenery beautifully described, and the food porn gorgeous. Xavier Reynolds is stuck rebuilding his life from basic ingredients. He’s just been through a…

Dara Robinowitz comes from a long line of shadchaniyot (Jewish matchmakers) and has built an extremely successful company by combining her love of coding with the family business. J-Mate is the most popular Jewish dating…
Knocked Up in Alaska by Samanthe Beck is the third and final book in her Captivity Alaska series. I enjoyed the first two but I think this one is my favourite. Lilah Iquat is pregnant. Young and pregnant with a dead man’s baby. When pilot Shay Shanahan died in a plane crash, Lilah had just told…
Annabeth Albert has entertained me in the past with several of her m/m romances, and in Sink or Swim, the second book in her navy-themed Shore Leave series, she’s upped the ante with a charming, single dad meets playboy romance. Felix Sigurd, newly divorced doctor, parent to his two nieces Madeline and Charlotte who lost…
Weather Girl, I can’t wait to see you – Russell to Ari Weather Girl is an incredibly charming romance. Warm and sweet, it’s also honest about what depression can do to a person and the rigors and difficulties of single parenthood, mean bosses and difficult parents. Ari Abrams is a cheery weather girl stuck with…
The Lights on Knockbridge Lane is a cute, fluffy (well, mostly) Christmas-themed story that is the very first male/male romance to appear in one of Harlequin’s main category lines. It’s the third in Roan Parrish’s Garnet Run series, and although characters from the earlier books do appear, they’re cameos and it’s not essential to have…
AAR reviewed Carla Kelly’s My Loving Vigil Keeping when it first came out. Our reviewer was not happy (you can see that review HERE), and it put me off of trying this book for a long time. Recently, I realized it was included in my Kindle Unlimited, and gave it a shot. Oh, I’m so…
