Unleashed (The Pirate & Her Princess #3) by Alli Temple, narrated by Emily Woo Zeller
In this last book of the trilogy, George and Lou get the closure they – and we – needed I really enjoyed this series. I have from book 1, Uncharted, when George and Lou were first reacquainted and had to find their way back to each other after years of living very different lives. In […]
Dear Ripley by Jacqueline Ramsden
A very charming, very angsty second-chance romance Some relationships end not because the love is gone but because the partners don’t feel on the same page anymore, believe they’re not going in the same direction. Alicia and Ripley were very good together until they weren’t and a divorce seemed like the only way to go. […]
Make You Mine This Christmas by Lizzie Huxley-Jones
A wonderfully silly romcom with great disability representation It’s a classic in fake-romance novels: either the MC falls in love with the person they’re faking the romance with or they fall for their sister. Like in Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochrun (one of my favourite audiobooks), Haf meets the woman who will […]
City of Vicious Night (Requiem Dark #2) by Claire Winn

In the hopes of finally being safe, Riven suggests entering the trial to become the matriarch of the Rio Oscuro syndicate (read City of Shattered Light to find out why the syndicate needs a […]
Sucker Punch – Pretty Devils (Wrestling Girls #2) by Kayla Faber

On a whim, she tries out for a spot as a wrestler at the Beatcave and lands a […]
Sizzle Reel by Carlyn Greenwald
Hilariously relatable Relationships aren’t easy. Realizing you’re not straight isn’t easy. Coming out isn’t easy, falling in love isn’t easy, distinguishing between lust and love and what’s exciting because it’s new and what’s exciting in itself isn’t easy. It’s all a mess and it can be scary and exhausting but damn is it worth it […]
Dance with me by Georgia Beers
An enjoyable light read Dance With Me brought back many memories of nine years of regularly dancing with my wife. I could relate to a lot of it and often smiled at the little awkwardnesses we also experienced, but also at the many wonderful hours we spent floating – or rocking – across the dance […]
Sucker Punch (Wrestling Girls #1) by Kayla Faber
Found family at its best I don’t know why it took me so long to start this book. I enjoyed it a lot, it’s full of fantastic people and found family and exactly the kind of story I like. The author sets the mood brilliantly right from the start. Pam and her cousin Sean inherited […]
