I loved Fix Her Up, book one in the Hot and Hammered series. That was a pleasant surprise since my relationship with Tessa Bailey is hit or (mostly) miss. I never know how I’m going to feel at the end of one of her novels. But Fix Her Up was great. Reader, it featured a…
Love Her or Lose Her is the second book in Tessa Bailey’s Hot & Hammered series. A love story about a marriage on the rocks and about growing into who you were always meant to be, this novel is fun, sweet, intense and heartwarming. It stands very well on its own; Georgie and Travis from…

A sexy marriage-in-trouble story, Strong, Silent Type is a quick but satisfying read.

The storyline in Winterblaze, the third book in Kristen Callihan’s Darkest London series, actually begins in book two, Moonglow, when Inspector Winston Lane of Scotland Yard CID is brutally attacked by a werewolf, and would have been killed were it not for the timely intervention of a mysterious, winged figure who saved him in the…
Susanna Fraser’s An Infamous Marriage has a not-unusual marriage of convenience premise, but what I really liked about this book was that at least a third of it is taken up with showing us what life is like for the protagonists after they have made a go of their marriage and admitted their love for…
Set in South-Eastern Nigeria before the colonization by the British, His Treasure is an excellent story of yearning and what marriage means to a proud man and woman. Adaku is the pampered daughter of an indulgent father, used to getting her way in things through a combination of guile and tantrums. She’s in love with…
Note: This review contains slight spoilers for earlier books in the series. If you’ve not been reading Tracy Grant, you really have been missing out. Her Rannoch/Fraser series of romantic suspense features a compelling relationship, fascinating characters and worldbuilding that I just love. If you’re not familiar with the series, it may require a touch…
