I’ve enjoyed Rachel Lynn Solomon’s previous books, especially Weather Girl, and I love how she creates flawed main characters and incorporates mental health representation, without letting it take over the plot. She does this again in What Happens in Amsterdam. Teenagers Dani Dorfman and Dutch student, Wouter van Leeuwen, met when he stayed with Dani’s…
The Big Adios, book three in H.L. Day’s Paranormal Problems: Necromancers series, returns us to the world of the Paranormal Problems Bureau for another exciting and intriguing story featuring a high-stakes plot and a fated-mates romance. It winds up the overarching plotline begun in book one, Deader than Dead and continued in the second, Dropping…
When the Tides Held the Moon is a captivating and imaginative historical fantasy with a beautiful romance at its heart, set amid the carnivals and sideshows of 1910s Coney Island. I admit that I first noticed it because of its beautiful cover – and I’m not normally someone who takes notice of covers (I read…
Broken Souls and Bones, the first book in L.J. Andrews’ Stonegate series, promises magic, mystery, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance set in a Viking-inspired fantasy world. Unfortunately, the execution is uneven, leaving much of the story feeling as if it too needs a good melding—its pacing, characters, and world-building don’t quite come together into something…
Desperate after her season comes to a spectacularly disastrous end, the Honorable Miss Clara Vetry jumps into a carriage hired to take a housekeeper to Scotland. The laird of Castle CaerLaven has no interest in a wife, especially a love match—but when Caelan sees his new housekeeper, he changes his mind. Marriage to a delectable…
The first book in a new series from Jax Calder, The Revenge Game is a tender, messy and heartfelt romance featuring two emotionally damaged but likeable leads, plenty of humour and lots of solid, genuine character growth. It’s entertaining while also addressing some serious issues in a sensitive but honest way, looking at the long-term…
The Fourth Girl is a good rendition of a rather common concept. If you’re looking for the kind of story you can sink into without being totally absorbed by it, this will be perfect for you. Their group name was TICK. Tallia. Imogene. Caroline. Kelly. Friends forever – or so they swore. They even got…
Cold as Ice is book two in Beth Bolden’s new series of hockey romances set at a fictional Portland University, but I didn’t feel I’d missed anything by not listening to book one, Melting the Ice. I freely admit that college-age romances aren’t ones I gravitate towards, but I’ve enjoyed books by Ms. Bolden before…
I’ve so enjoyed the Blue Ranch series and Wild and Wrangled is no exception. It’s a sweet second chance, cowboy romance. The story is lovely and, to me, bittersweet– it’s the last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series and I hate to see it end. Camille (Cam) has just been stood up at her…
Mary Stewart’s novels have a marvelous sense of place, and that is one of many reasons I enjoy reading them. They also tend to feature smart, independent women as heroines, which is another huge mark in their favor for me. With this month’s TBR theme of “Location, location, location,” I dove right into a Mary…
