Just Forever is the promised sequel to last year’s Just a Taste, which told the story of Lake and Ryker, two guys who’ve known each other since childhood and were, briefly, step-brothers when Ryker’s mum was married to Lake’s dad – and who got married for money and then fell in love. Note: This is…
Barbarian’s Heart is the ninth full-length novel in Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series. I wonder if when the author started self-publishing these books back in 2015 she could have imagined that the series would take off and become a hit, and she’d end up getting a print deal with Berkley. From the viewpoint of…
Jude Deveraux helped popularize time travel romances in the 1970s and 1980s, so she’s a natural to jump into the Romantasy field with her new duology, Blue Swan. I did expect some old skool tomfoolery in Order of Swans and got it; unfortunately, along with that old-school crazysauce, I also got that hoary old chestnut…
The Love Lyric is the third book in Kristina Forest’s Greene Sisters series. We met our two leads in the previous novels but the author does a great job of setting the story up so that this volume can easily be read as a standalone. They met at her younger sister’s breakup party, where Iris…
February’s prompt – “Previously in Romance” – had me looking through the older books in my library and brought me to Patricia Veryan, who published over thirty Georgian and Regency set romances between 1978 and 2002. I’ve reviewed a few of her books for previous TBR Challenge prompts; the last time was in 2020 (Feather…
Narrated by Cornell Collins The Demons of Wychwood is a fairly short Victorian historical romance, coming in at a little under six hours in audio. Its protagonist is Felix Lazarus, a former soldier who now works as a clerk for the General Post Office and who has a side hustle as a kind of general…
Connie Willis came to my attention when I was looking through some of the older reviews at AAR and came across one for Doomsday Book, a science fiction time-travel story about a young student who goes back in time to England during the time of the Black Plague. I gobbled it up (and have since…
Alexandra Vashti’s works are light, breezy and fun to soak up. This one, Earl Crush, is a step up from Ne’re Duke Well and is a fine and enjoyable time. Wallflower and heiress Lydia Hope-Wallace is prepared to offer up the ultimate sacrifice to her longtime pen pal in anonymous political rabble rousing, Arthur Baird,…
The last of the Riggs Brothers books lands as smoothly as Dex Riggs himself—reckless, a little messy, but somehow still on its feet. I’d been curious about Dex—sure that, like his brother Jace, he was a good guy with a complicated past. But unlike Jace, whose backstory was tedious and nonsensical, Dex’s is gripping, and…
Imagine four men, each hotter than barbecue in August, who all find love in a gritty Michigan small town—welcome to Julie Kriss’s Riggs Brothers series. I’m reading them all. I enjoyed book one. Book two, not so much. Work Me Up is better—but still left me feeling let down. Ryan Riggs almost made it to…
