I’ve enjoyed all the books in Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series, and although I wasn’t wild about the book before this one Wheels Up, book five, Squared Away is one of my favourites, a beautifully told story of love – romantic and familial – trust, and acceptance, featuring a gorgeous slow-burn romance as two…
*sigh*. This is the second romance novel I’ve read in the past month that mentions ‘hot monkey sex.’ NO. The expression conjures a decidedly unsexy visual. As per Rom Rule #14 in my personal reviewer’s handbook, a romance that describes high-intensity sexual intercourse as ‘hot monkey sex’ will automatically receive a reduction of one letter…
Off Base, the first in the Out of Uniform series, was my first military romance. Although I didn’t love that story, I liked the writing and the premise of the series, and decided to stay with it. I’m so glad I did. Over the course of seven wonderfully disparate books, the series has been reliably…
I can’t quite decide if SEAL’s Honor wants to be a bog standard contemporary romance or a romantic suspense because it flirts with both. The result is enjoyable, but perhaps a touch forgettable. I’m eager to see where Ms. Crane goes with the series, because I think getting to know Blue’s compatriots might help me…
Although I wasn’t wild about Imperial Stout, the first book in Layla Reyne’s new Trouble Brewing series, I wanted to read book two, Craft Brew, because I was intrigued by what was clearly going to be the series’ overarching plotline, and hoped for progression. I got a little of what I wanted, but Ms. Reyne…
The Out of Uniform series has been a reliable favorite of mine since the first book, Off Base. That book introduced me to the whole military sub-genre in queer romance, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I wasn’t wild about the last couple of books though, and thought the series was losing steam, but Tight…
Off the Grid is book two in Monica McCarty’s series, The Lost Platoon, and although I haven’t read the previous book (Going Dark) I was able to follow the plot in this one without any trouble, so it worked perfectly well as a standalone. What didn’t work so well, however, were the hackneyed storyline, stereotypical…
Summer loving will soon be upon us. The days are warming up, the nights are getting hotter and it is at such times that every reader’s mind turns towards the ultimate vacation accessory: the perfect beach read. An Honorable Seduction, with its Florida beachside location, talk of cruise ships and descriptions of dates at seaside…
I’ve really enjoyed Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series. She’s done a great job linking the novels together while crafting fresh and special individual stories and romantic relationships in each one. This time out her principals find themselves fighting their attraction and love for each other while knowing they can’t have it all – SEAL…
The dedication at the beginning of Jackie Ashenden’s new Tate Brothers series starter, The Dangerous Billionaire reads: To the person who picked this up and thought: “Billionaire Navy SEAL? HELL YEAH.” You’re my people. Personally, I love a good billionaire romance, and novels with military heroes are always on my to-read list, so combining the…
