One Last Shot by Lily Seabrooke and Jacqueline Ramsden
A very cute and funny twin-swap romance Jokes and comedies are more likely to make me cringe than laugh. This book though brought me a lot of joy, not only because it did make me laugh several times but it made me do so with tenderness. Ava grew up thinking she couldn’t be more different […]
The Mimicking of Known Successes (Mossa & Pleiti #1) by Malka Older
An intriguing start to a new sci-fi series This was my first book by Malka Older and the cover and title brought me to it. I’m a sucker for that kind of title and this one has a really nice ring to it. I hadn’t heard of the author before though now her 2016 science-fiction […]
Consecrated Ground by Virginia Black
A stunning and beautifully dark debut We all have authors whose books we know we’ll enjoy reading whatever the story is. Bywater Books is the publisher equivalent of that. Whenever I open a book they release, I know I’m in for a treat. I don’t love them all but they’re all exciting and interesting and […]
Not for a moment by Cheyenne Blue
A good slow-burn fake relationship romance I like the way this author writes, my favourite book is Code of Conduct which I recommend if you like sports romances. I also like the fact that there are always Australian influences in her writing though not that much in this book. Sarah Santoro is divorced and fully devoted […]
Out on good behavior by Dahlia Adler, narrated by Samantha Summers
An entertaining story with a very good narration This is the second book I read by this author, the first one was Home Field Advantage, a YA sports book. This novel is older (2016) but the audiobook version has just been released so I decided to give it a go. Out on Good Behavior is […]
Kiss Shot by Carolyn Elizabeth
This fast-paced story was just what I needed Lucky Sorin, raised on the streets and in foster care, got a chance at training and a good job through a mentor from the Albany Police Dep. Now she is a Street Crime Detective and her mentor is her boss, and together with the team they hunt […]
The Carlisle Series by Roslyn Sinclair, narrated by Abby Craden
A great audiobook version for a fantastic series Unlike many other reviewers in our genre, I’m not a follower of fan fiction. But for as long as I’ve been reviewing Sapphic books I was told that I shouldn’t miss Telanu’s Truth and Measure. I admit that I was put off by 271,584 reasons, the number of […]
Meeting Millie by Clare Ashton
A delightful rom-com This book started breaking my heart from the very beginning, even as it made me laugh. A quarter in, I knew it was touching something very intimate in me, about friendship and caring (or not caring) about people, about needing them (or not needing them) in one’s life. Charlotte Albright is back […]
