The Defender is the second book in the Gods of the Game series and I think it’s more lighthearted than Huang’s other books. I really liked The Striker, which was Asher and Scarlett’s story. This one is about Scarlett’s brother, Vincent, and the Coach’s daughter, Brooklyn, and while I enjoyed being back in this world,…
This is my favorite Ana Huang book so far! It’s got a famous footballer (soccer player) who falls for his new trainer – who’s very definitely off limits! This sexy contemp has forbidden love, playful banter and plenty of steam and, while it’s a little long, I found it very entertaining. Asher is one of…
Narrated by Pete Cross Every so often, you come across a story that feels as though it shouldn’t really work – and yet it somehow just does. Maybe the premise requires too great a stretch or simply doesn’t make sense, or maybe there’s something that gets a big side-eye – but the overall story is…
As Fearne Hill is known primarily for writing m/m romance, I’m opening this review by making potential readers aware that Oyster, the second book in her Island Love series, is a queer m/f romance featuring a transwoman protagonist. As I’ve come to expect from this author, we’re treated to a beautifully written and emotionally satisfying…
Mabel Willicker, heroine of Charlotte Stein’s latest standalone romance, When Grumpy met Sunshine, has ghostwritten several minor memoirs, but working with Alfie Harding – infamously standoffish footballing legend – would put her career in another league. But when he’s a jerk at their first meeting, Mabel, atypically, sets a boundary and walks out. Alfie, however,…
Everything for You – book five in Chloe Liese’s Bergman Brothers series – is the first entry in that series to feature a same sex couple and is also the author’s first m/m romance. As I haven’t read anything by Ms. Liese before, I decided to rectify that by picking it up for review. It’s…
Recipe for Persuasion is Sonali Dev’s latest Jane Austen inspired novel. A sweet second chance at love tale, this delicious romance will have you savoring every second you spend reading it. This is book two of The Raje Series but you don’t need to read book one – Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors – to…
Those of you who follow my reviews are probably aware that I don’t frequently assign ‘A’ ratings. (In fact, Tessa Bailey’s Fix Her Up was the last romance that I deemed deserving of DIK status, and that review was published six months ago.) Jaded by past disappointments, my most fervent hope was to quietly end…
Flashed is a delicious, slow-burning wish fulfillment slice of romance of the highest order. Beauty and the Beast with a skosh of Cinderella, it’s comfortable yet spicy, heartbreaking yet gladdening. It will be a delicious bit of catnip for anyone who’s willing to be enchanted by its embrace. Former soccer player, book cover model, stripper…
Zoey Castile draws on literary and film inspirations of Beauty and the Beast (and a dash o’ Cinderella) to retell the ‘tale as old as time’ as a steamy contemporary romance. Flashed (Happy Endings, #3) combines sweet romance with hot sex to portray a deeply emotional connection between a beautiful, broken ‘Beast’ and a compassionate,…
