Sixpenny Octavo (The Old Bridge Inn Series) by Annick Trent
This historical romance is a very good surprise Sometimes review requests turn out to be excellent surprises. Sixpenny Octavo is my first book by Annick Trent and, I believe, the author’s first f/f story (there’s an m/m book set in the same universe but both are standalone so far). I loved it and am looking […]
The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur, narrated by Lauren Sweet
Excellent narration for a really fun romcom Tansy Adams has been lying to her family for months about dating a woman called Gemma. The name didn’t come out of nowhere, a romance novel model was the inspiration. Things get interesting when said model dances into Tansy’s life at her step-cousin’s wedding. Gemma turns out to […]
Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail (Bright Falls #2) by Ashley Herring Blake, narrated by Kristen DeMercurio
The perfect romcom to get the year started Almost a year ago, I read my first book by this author, Delilah Green Doesn’t Care, and I almost immediately knew it would make my end-of-the-year list. I was very much looking forward to the next book, Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail, but for some reason, while the […]
Unexpected by Jennie Frame, narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent
A great performance by Nicola Victoria Vincent I’m trying to tackle my long TBR list and this book seemed the perfect choice to start. The fact that the audiobook version is narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent, an outstanding British narrator, made it hard to resist. Business owner Dale McGuire’s life is upended when a 10-year-old […]

The Woman in 3B by Eliza Lentzski, narrated by Stephanie Kay
A very good story with an excellent narration This was an entertaining Sapphic interracial romance book with a light premise that somehow leads to an exploration of discrimination against Middle Eastern Americans. If you are looking for an enjoyable, fun and hot read with some food for thought, then this is your book. Alice Kaminski […]
Securing Ava by Anne Shade
Slow-burn romance and suspense Securing Ava is my first book by this author, it is an entertaining mix of suspense and romance. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Anne Shade is a BIPOC author and reading about non-white characters was an added bonus. Ava Prescott, the daughter of the founder of Diamond Unlimited Wealth […]
Foolproof by Leigh Hays
A very steamy read Martine and Elliot were best friends in Key West for a couple of years as children, both probably seeing in the other what they couldn’t recognize in themselves yet. When they reconnect by chance thirty years later, Elliot is a Coast Guard newly stationed in Key West and Martine owns a […]
Devil’s Advocate by T.B. Markinson and Miranda MacLeod
Romancing lawyers T.B. Markinson and Miranda MacLeod did it again. Their latest release Devil’s Advocate is a very entertaining, humorous romance with an interesting background story. It’s a romance between a poor and a rich woman but the authors have the ability to weave in a second important theme. This time it’s about who to […]
