Changes on Ice is a heartfelt and sensual age-gap romance featuring two hockey players from very different backgrounds at very different stages in their careers. While it’s the third book in the author’s Changes series, it can be read as a standalone; the first two books feature the same central characters (a throuple) but this…
He Falls First is the first book in the Colburn Brothers series. It features a hot, gruff CEO of the Colburn family’s restoration business who, yes, falls for a chef who is returning home to make a new start. I enjoyed the humor and emotional depth to the story and the characters tugged at my…
I have to say that I approached Mr. Collins in Love with some degree of trepidation, because I’m not a fan of retellings, reimaginings or ‘variations’ (the market is awash with P&P ‘variations’ – Darcy is a pirate and Elizabeth his captive! (or vice versa), Elizabeth never went to Pemberley and is now a downtrodden…
Roommating is my first romance by Meredith Schorr, and the concept of unplanned roommates starting a romance sounded fun and inspired me to add it to my reading list. At the end of the day it’s an okay read that will appeal to some, good for a summer beach day. Sabrina is busy with grad…
After struggling a bit with the first book in this series, I decided to relax and accept the fact that this series features modern mysteries in historical clothing. Thus With a Kiss I Die is definitely a better experience than A Daughter of Fair Verona; I had great fun with it. But if you aren’t…
Ellie K Wilde’s Only Between Us is a low-angst, fake-dating football romance. It’s light and fun, but essentially one dimensional in the way it sets up the obstacles for the two leads. For her, it’s geography, for him it’s insecurity and neither are high stakes to overcome so they can be together. Siena lives in…
Writing Mr. Wrong is a solid, workaday romance in which the heroine has a ginormous secret, but she keeps it for a fairly sensible reason. Fairly, which is why this isn’t an A. But it’s still an enjoyable romance. Gemma is rebounding after an ugly divorce by reuniting with her old true love – romance writing….
ALexa Martin’s How to Sell a Romance is a lighthearted breezy romcom that also explores the workings of pyramid, multi-level marketing schemes. Emerson is a kindergarten teacher. She’s single, enthusiastic, self-aware and broke. Her boss at school, Nora, has persuaded her to come to an event with her to find out about Petunia Lemon, a…
I’ve been watching Formula 1 racing on and off my whole life (more on than off recently) so seeing romances featuring this sport has been an enjoyable turn of events. Having read several of the books Karen Booth wrote for Harlequin Desire, I picked up Not So Fast expecting a good ride – and that’s…
To Sketch a Scandal is book four in Jess Everlee’s Lucky Lovers of London series, and returns readers to late Victorian London and the convivial safe space carefully carved out for the local queer community at the underground club, the Curious Fox. There are a couple of things that didn’t quite work for me, but…
