Sweet, warm, and occasionally heart-meltingly gooey, Hearts on the Fly is a fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookie of a book that is a nice cure for the end-of-winter blues. The game is expected to be violent and injuries are par for the course, but one devastating hit upends hockey player Jabari Hall’s entire life when what the…
This second book in Fearne Hill’s Mis-Shapes series is a funny, sexy and poignant romance between two reluctant and very different housemates that really ticks those grumpy/sunshine, odd-couple boxes! We met Alaric Alvin in the first book (Maybe). He’s a urologist/surgeon and is good friends with Isaac Fitz-Henry; he’s an upbeat, flirty motormouth for whom…
Is there one perfect person for all of us, or do we choose who we love and make that work (or not)? This is the question at the heart of Maurene Goo’s highly anticipated first adult romance, One & Only. Cass (Cassia) Park adores her biking club. It combines her BFF, Marcela, being outside enjoying…
I went in a slightly different direction for the “Vintage” prompt for this month’s TBR Challenge read. I usually go for an older historical (as in written in the 1960s or 70s), but this time, I decided to read an historical SET in the 1970s; I’ve often seen late-twentieth century historicals labelled as “vintage historicals”,…
Without a Clue is a funny, genre-bending suspenseful romance, if that’s a thing! It’s quite short, so author Melissa Ferguson has been busy creating a heartfelt romance while also building a cozy mystery plot. She writes closed-door romances that are light and breezy, but with enough backstory to give the characters depth, so if you…
Rakes and Radishes is Susanna Ives’ début novel, and it’s one of the most unusual historical romances I’ve read. The author has very successfully turned one of the most commonly-used tropes in the genre upside-down and inside-out. The story of the hardened rake who eventually settles down with the love of his life to become…
What do we inherit from our parents? Is the child of a thief destined to be a thief? Can we break familial patterns? That’s the question at the heart of Our Beautiful Mess.

Dabney: Susan Elizabeth Phillips published her first Chicago Stars book, It Had to Be You, in 1994. The book, featuring a tall, rugged football coach named Dan and a curvy bombshell named Phoebe is often called the first sports romance (I don’t know about that but that’s what they say.) And The Crowd Went Wild…
Have you ever wondered what the Big Bang Theory would have been like if Penny had been a smart engineer who chose Sheldon over Leonard? Next Level Love is a frothy, light-hearted contemporary romance that answers that question. Online, their names are @pancakesareelite and @theanswerisno. While Pancakes has introduced herself as Lily and offered to…
This is my first book by contemporary romance author Sara Ney and won’t be my last (I’ve already put in a pre-order for the next in this series). Falling for the Fake Lumberjack is the entry novel into her new series Axes and Endzones with a strong very likable heroine giving the reader a fun…
