Part women’s fiction and part romance If I Never Met You is wholly delightful. A novel about second – and third – chances and falling in love with whom you least expect it, this gem of a book is funny, sweet and charming. Barrister Laurie and her significant other Dan have been together since they…
I always love the favorite tropes prompt because it invites me to dive into my category romance stash. This time around, I went for a second chance at love story. A Game With One Winner is a 2013 release by Lynn Raye Harris. Since it’s Harlequin Presents, this iteration of the story gets the glitz,…
In this sweet second-chance romance, Alasdair and Willow had a young love affair that ended when Willow’s father refused to accept Alasdair’s suit. Following his rejection, Alasdair went on without her, to war and back again. While he was gone both families suffered. Willow was in a horrendous accident that caused her to lose her…
When I discovered Megan Crane’s Edge series a few months ago, I fell instantly in love. Dystopian stories can be hit-or-miss for me; I like them but I get tired of reading about characters who feel like the entire world is against them.

I enjoy stories about couples who have a second chance at love. Although I initially had some doubts about the main characters in Lorie Wilde’s Once Smitten, Twice Shy, I quickly grew to like them, and to root for them to have their happily ever after. This is the second in Wilde’s Wedding Bell series….
Bodyguard Rescue is one of the more impressive series debuts I’ve read in some time. This may be Donna Young’s first release, but you’d never know it from the book itself, which outshines what many veteran authors are delivering these days. Roman D’Amato is an operative working for a top-secret, ultra-elite branch of the CIA….
Good things come to those who wait. I’ve waited quite a while for a good romantic suspense – heavy on the romance – and I picked a good one when I asked to review Wild At Heart. I loved the characters, enjoyed the story, and there are some secondary characters who need their stories told….
Kathleen Gilles Seidel is amazing. Why she is not better known and more widely read is a complete mystery. Her books are masterpieces of characterization and storytelling, filled with clever observations and the flavor of real life. Till the Stars Fall is my favorite book by her yet. It showcases all of her considerable talent…
