I’ve eagerly been snapping up the books in Rachel Ember’s Wild Ones series, so when I saw she had a new standalone novel coming out, I was eager to read it. Night & Day is an opposites attract romance between a recently separated lawyer and the guy he employs as the nanny for his infant…
The first in her new A-List Security series, Annabeth Albert’s Tough Luck contains many of the elements I enjoy about her stories – well-crafted principals with depth and charm, steamy, well-written sex scenes ,and wonderful communication – yet despite all those things, the book and I didn’t quite ‘click’. It’s a quiet , low-angst story…
I’ve been meaning to read this one for ages and am really pleased I finally got around to it. The Happy List is a wonderful friends-to-lovers/opposites-attract romance featuring life-long best friends, Gray and Kai who couldn’t be more different. Gray is somewhat rigid and set in his ways; he’s a meticulous planner and workaholic who…
Fearne Hill’s Brushed With Love is a charming and sexy opposites-attract romance featuring a pair of captivating central characters, a well-drawn, quirky secondary cast and lots of genuine warmth, humour and feels. Clement Constantine Church wrote an award-winning novel in his late teens which was then turned into an Oscar-winning movie – but hasn’t been…
Annabeth Albert has entertained me in the past with several of her m/m romances, and in Sink or Swim, the second book in her navy-themed Shore Leave series, she’s upped the ante with a charming, single dad meets playboy romance. Felix Sigurd, newly divorced doctor, parent to his two nieces Madeline and Charlotte who lost…
Early in January, I picked up a novella called Fireman’s Carry by Eli Easton in the Your Book Boyfriend’s Boyfriend giveaway (which I think is still going on – around 600 free m/m short stories/novellas), mostly because I was looking for new authors to try and also because I remembered that Em had enjoyed some…
Luke, book three in Con Riley’s Learning to Love series, is a beautiful and powerful second-chance, friends-to-lovers story full of the exactly the sort of emotional soul-searching and insight I’ve come to expect and enjoy from this author. As in the other books in the series, the glorious Cornish settings are vividly described and the…
Louisa Masters’ Spirited Situations is the first in a new series of paranormal romances entitled Ghostly Guardians. It’s a fun, light-hearted read with a spooky vibe and a fun cast of characters, and I enjoyed the author’s lively, easy-to-read style – although if you’re looking for a story that’s going to scare the pants off…
Narrated by Greg Boudreaux The Demon’s in the Details is a riff on Rumpelstiltskin that hits the basic beats of the original without being an exact reproduction of it, transforming the passive main character into a brave, fiercely protective individual who can look out for himself, the king – who is, let’s face it, a pretty nasty piece…
Note: Readers are advised to read Off Balance (Painted Bay book one) before In Step, so as to gain a fuller understanding of important backstory. It’s impossible to review In Step without reference to that backstory, so please be aware that there are spoilers for Off Balance and On Board ahead. I’ve been reading Jay…
