Delafield by Katherine V Forrest

Kate Delafield is back and just as sharp as ever I first came to lesfic through mysteries, with Katherine V. Forrest, Clare McNab, Val McDermid, and a few others, as my guides. Along with Karin Kallmaker when I found romance a few months later, Forrest is one of the authors who helped me grow, become […]
Anyone but you by Chelsea M. Cameron, narrated by Lori Prince

Judging a book by its cover… Chelsea M. Cameron is a very prolific author of mostly m/f romance but she has written some f/f stories. I’ve only read Marriage of Unconvenience which unfortunately didn’t leave a lasting impression. I have to admit that I grabbed this audiobook because of the narrator and the cover. I’m […]
Chasing Dreams by A.L. Brooks

Chase your dreams from the big city to small-town life Chasing Dreams should not only be just a feel-good romance book, but we all should try to make at least one or two dreams come true. Claire Pressley, a venture capitalist in New York, wants to break free from her stressful job and life and […]

In the Shadow of Love by JE Leak

A good second book in an exciting historical series In The Shadow of Love picks up not long after In The Shadow of the Past ended. While the first book introduced readers to the characters, the era, the context, the second one, as can be inferred from the title, focuses more on the relationship between […]
Love Anon by Bryony Rosehurst

A very cute rom-com This is such a cute novella! A not-so-recent divorcée, Arden is fine on her own. She really is. Her family however, and her dad in particular, keeps asking when she’ll start dating again. When she inadvertently lies to her father and pretends to be seeing someone, her sister posts an ad […]
Love Bleeds Deep by Rien Gray (Fatal Fidelity #2)

The second book in this non-binary assassin series is as intriguing as the first I started this book right after In the Shadow of Love by J. E. Leak and I found the same kind of film noir atmosphere. But while in the former, the feeling comes from the era, in this series, it’s from […]
Gray Matters by Dolores Arden, narrated by Melissa Moran

A very promising debut novel I’ve wanted to listen to something different this week but still with some romance on the side. A story about a relationship between a cop and a forensic analyst while searching for a serial killer was exactly what I was looking for. Remy Devereux is a homicide detective with the San […]
Plain English by Rachel Spangler

A journey in gender fluidity and a sweet romance I always look forward to a new book by Rachel Spangler. I don’t like them all and that’s okay, but when I like them, it’s a lot. This English series has been a wonderful surprise since the beginning and I really enjoyed the first two novels, […]
