Narrated by Kirt Graves Resisting You, the second book in E.M. Lindsey’s Things We Never Said series about a group of single dads, is a welcome return to form after the slightly disappointing series opener, Knowing You. Resisting You is an enemies-to-lovers romance between a haughty surgeon and a nurse in which the ‘enemies’ part…
This month’s ‘friend squad’ prompt had me picking up Tal Bauer’s You & Me, which is both a gorgeous slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance between two forty-something single dads, and a fantastic story about an estranged father and son finding their way back to each other. I was completely captivated by it, although I will admit that…

All Skylar, a country music…
Christine D’Abo’s Tik Tok Boom is the delightful first contemporary romance in a new series, Trending For You, that looks at romance in the current age of social media. Photographer Andie, now forty-five, never thought her dream of being a world class photographer would end up with her taking a job in the Walmart Photo…
The Single Dad Project by Naima Simone is the fifth contemporary romance in the author’s Rose Bend series. I hadn’t read any of the others in the series when I picked up this one, but it reads well as a standalone and has me intrigued to read more about this small town and the Dennison…
Canadian Boyfriend is shockingly weighty for the usually lighthearted Jenny Holiday, but heavy subject matter looks good on her. The book is just thoughtful enough to keep the winter chill away, but is also a completely trenchant character study. There’s a couple of quirks that keep this from reaching DIK status, but it’s a very…
With their latest standalone romcom, The True Love Experiment, perennial dynamic duo Christina Lauren prove, once again, they’re soaring among the best business partnerships ever. Batman and Robin. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. Lennon and McCartney. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Starbucks and Spotify. Whether they’re writing smartypants STEM romcoms, angsty YA contemporaries, or heavier…
