I’ve been looking for a good place to jump into Tessa Dare’s books, but I was reluctant to start in the middle of an already established series. So The Duchess Deal, the first book in her new Girl Meets Duke series, was just what I needed to give her work a try, and I’m really…
WARNING: This book contains a main character with severe OCD who self-harms. If you find this subject matter triggering – even though the author handles it with tact – then this might not be a comfortable read for you. Proceed with caution. Everyone loves those Winston boys. And who can blame them? They’re funny, sexy,…
Although Turn Me Loose is billed as the sixth book in Anne Calhoun’s Alpha Ops series, the author includes enough relevant information about previous situations and characters to make it work as a standalone, although I will admit to having re-read Maria Rose’s review of Under the Surface in order to remind myself of a…
In this first volume of Virginia Heath’s four book Wild Warriners series, a desperate heroine meets a stubborn hero in the aftermath of a great drama and sparks fly in a tale that ultimately has its ups and downs. The orphaned tea heiress Violet “Letty” Dunston has been through some horrible things in her life. …
Kristen Callihan’s sexy, swoony and supremely entertaining Game On series tops my list of terrific sports romances. This fourth book, The Hot Shot fits neatly into the series, but it’s a bit different and the only one that I haven’t rated a DIK. For starters, the principal character, Finn, isn’t one of the original, beloved…
Lorelei James is a familiar voice to many in the erotic and contemporary romance world, having published more than sixty books in the last ten years. While I’d heard of her, I hadn’t actually read any of her books until this one. All You Need is a sports romance with a fairly typical plot idea…
I’m fairly new to Lucinda Brant’s books though I’ve quickly discovered what I like best about her writing – exquisite period detail, slow burn romances, and principals who are both engaging and appealing. Proud Mary, the fifth book in the Roxton Family Saga is romantic, charming, low on angst and slowly and steadily draws you…
I’m a bit late to the Garrett Leigh fan club. I had read another novel by the author in 2016, and though I liked it, I wasn’t blown away. Scrolling through my TBR pile a few months ago I realized I owned another Leigh book, Misfits, and decided to try her again. I’m so glad…
Meredith Duran is one of the finest historical romance authors writing today. Given any storyline or any romance trope, she makes it fresh and new and interesting. The characters’ reactions are never commonplace, the plots are never tired and predictable, and the writing is always to the point and yet lovely at the same time….
I find that when we speak of romance, it’s easy to fall into judging a book based on whether or not we think the main characters are nice people with whom we would actually want to spend time. I’ve long admired Meredith Duran’s writing for challenging me on this. She is one of those authors…
