Hunk for the Holidays knows exactly what it is: a light Christmas love story that exists just to entertain. Lane leans into the charm of a slightly ridiculous premise and, woo hoo, makes it work. The book is warm, funny, and unembarrassed about its own cheer, which is all a holiday romance needs to be….
This is one weird concept, and it’s not going to appeal to everyone. But I’ll be darned if I wasn’t rather charmed by it. A Mannequin for Christmas is the story of a man who – well – falls in love with a mannequin (bought by his beloved great aunt at a mall rummage sale)…
Having read and enjoyed several of Amy Andrews’s contemporary romances, I was in the mood for a Christmas novel and dug into my pile of unread books to find The Trouble with Christmas. It’s the middle story in the author’s Credence Colorado series, and a good choice for some holiday cheer in a spicy Hallmark…
On Dancer is this year’s seasonal offering Annabeth Albert, a sweet, warm-hearted romance between a famous ballet dancer and the geeky admin of a regional ballet company and school who has had a crush on him from afar for years. It’s cute and the characters are likeable with some depth to them, but I didn’t…
What happens when a PA (personal assistant) and the Prime Minister of Canada are caught in what looks like a compromising position? She’ll be fake dating his bodyguard, of course. Like most Amy Lea novels, this story has its share of quirky humor but it also explores heavier topics including child abandonment and a parent…
If, like me, you’re not the biggest fan of the schmalzy, Hallmark-y Christmas romances that proliferate at this time of year, then Garrett Leigh’s Christmas on Cosmic Avenue could be just what you’re looking for. It’s funny and snarky and warm; and it’s festive without being over-the-top, which makes for a perfect seasonal love story…
The Mating Game is set in the same universe as The Fake Mate so I was excited to read it. It has two wolf shifters and there’s lots of shifter sex. While it wasn’t as light and fun as The Fake Mate, I enjoyed returning to Ferguson’s world of wolf shifters. The story opens when…
I’m a long time fan of Zoe York and her Pine Harbour and spinoff Kincaids of Pine Harbour series (Love in a Sandstorm and Fearless at Heart are two of my favourites novels) and it’s always fun to revisit favourite characters and locales. That’s what led me to The Ex-Mas Breakup, starring Garrett Kincaid and…
As a seasoned global traveler, journalist, and mother of a kickass photojournalist, there were so many things about Megan Oliver’s debut contemporary romance, Secret Nights and Northern Lights, that called to me. I wanted it to be a grand adventure in Iceland, but it was just … not. Mona Miller is a journalist with a…
I enjoy romances that have a good mystery and The Marriage Method has both. It also has a male lead who rescues cats which ends up causing a forced marriage! Other than a rare slow spot, I was intrigued by the story. Nell is a teacher at a girl’s academy who comes to London to…
