I giggled, chortled and laughed my way through this wonderful story. It’s a STEM romcom with terrific characters and lots of smart, snarky humor and I enjoyed it immensely. Elsie Hannaway is a theoretical physicist working as an adjunct professor trying to get a research position with benefits. She is also diabetic and in desperate…
The winner of multiple awards, Malinda Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club is the beautifully written narration of a young Chinese-American teen’s queer coming-of-age in 1954 California. The story is set in a richly depicted Chinese-American San Francisco of the 1930s through 1950s, including flashbacks to LIly’s parents and her aunt, whose career working…
When I grabbed a copy of Ali Hazlewood’s Loathe to Love You, I didn’t realize it was three connected novellas rather than one full-length novel. But since I’m a fan of novellas, that wasn’t an issue for me. Some readers may think that novellas are less bang for your buck, but the reality is that…
A Love By Design is a fabulous final instalment in Elizabeth Everett’s The Secret Scientists of London series, giving us the stories of Margaret and George, and a real series high point, as we get a lot of tension and a whole lot of fun in the process. This is a can’t-miss for historical romance…
Love on the Brain is Ali Hazelwood’s second full length romcom starring women in STEM and I devoured it. It’s an utter winner! The heroine, Bee, is a neuroscientist who just got offered her dream job to work on a project at NASA. There’s just one little problem. She’ll be co-leading the project with Levi Ward, an engineer…
Bend Toward the Sun is Jen Devon’s debut work, but it has the feel of an experienced author writing an ongoing series. While focused on one central couple, the network of relationships and other couples is well developed and seems ripe for more books to come. Which would definitely be a good thing! Harrison Brady…
I gave a DIK to the first book in Jessie Mihalik’s Starlight’s Shadow series, Hunt the Stars, when it came out earlier this year. This sequel, Eclipse the Moon, has not let me down. Kee Ildez, the human hacker of Starlight’s crew, has an unrequited crush on Varro Runkow, a Valoff who works for General…
I’ll admit that I cheated a little on TBR Challenge this month. I usually try to dig deep into the archives of my TBR, but when I saw the “Grumpy” prompt, all I could think of was the grumpy/sunshine romance I’d picked up from Amazon First Reads last month, based entirely on the author’s hilarious…
This is the second volume in Elizabeth Everett’s The Secret Scientists of London series, about a group of ladies who form a scientific club, and manage to find true love during their adventures. This one is a bit weaker than what came before it (A Lady’s Formula for Love), but is still a welcome addition…
I’m a fan of author Megan Crane whether she writes under this pen name or as Caitlin Crews. While the recent Crane books I’ve read have been Western style romances, I saw that she has a new series The Fortunes of Lost Lake (with a slight variation on a pen name as the author of…
