Welcome to the latest work from K.J. Charles and as ever, we have historical accuracy, fantastic writing, and the occasional naughty bits. Band Sinister centres around Sir Philip Rookwood and his ‘hellfire club’ known just as ‘The Murder’. These hellfire clubs did exist around the eighteenth century; they were secret societies among the elite and…
Kianna Alexander’s The Southern Gentlemen series continues charmingly with the story of a fashion designer and the textile manufacturer who falls in love with her. Alexis – Lex – Devers lives, breathes, sleeps and eats fashion. She’s the kind of girl who spends hours in a hardworking daze, only taking time out for life’s bare…
Phoenix Unbound is the first book in Grace Draven’s Fallen Empire series. It’s a lovely romance set in a fascinating world, and I’m so glad I picked it up. Gilene is a fire witch who is honor-bound to put the safety of her village above that of her own. Each year, every village in the…
Author Mimi Matthews has been on my radar ever since the release of her début novel, The Lost Letter in 2017, but this is the first time I’ve read one of her books. The Matrimonial Advertisement is the first in her Parish Orphans of Devon series, and as the title suggests, the story is a…

In January, I had the pleasure of reading The Wolf at the Door, the début novel from Charlie Adhara. I thought it was terrific and couldn’t wait to review it for All About Romance. So you can imagine my surprise when, after receiving an early copy of the second book in the series, The Wolf…
I love a great sports romance and the Rugby series has been a reliably sexy, romantic and wholly satisfying treat for this fan. After the disappointment that was the third book, The Cad and the Co-ed, I’m pleased to say that normal service has been resumed and L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid have scored another…
Maria Vale’s The Last Wolf is not at all what I expected. I thought I’d get a fast-paced, spicy shifter romance, much like others I’ve loved. This book, this heroine, was unexpected. In all the right ways. Shifters and werewolves are different in this world. A werewolf must turn into a wolf during the full…
