Meeting Millie (Oxford Romance #1) by Clare Ashton, narrated by Gabrielle Baker
Millie coming to terms with her unexpected feelings is a thing of beauty I already knew when I started listening to this audiobook that I would love it. I had a slight apprehension about the narration because there were tiny details I didn’t love completely in Gabrielle Baker’s performance of Finding Jessica Lambert, but none […]
Love, Morgan (Jackson Point Collection #2) by Jacqueline Ramsden
Jacqueline Ramsden successfully mixes humour, sweetness, and deeper issues At first sight, Morgan is the brat that most of us try not to be, even if they exist inside us. In my review of Dear Ripley, where she was introduced to us as Ripley’s best friend, I called her exquisitely obnoxious. She’s so over the […]
Not Just Gal Pals by Elizabeth Luly
A deliciously tropey romance Every step of her life, Jenny’s gone with the flow. If not for someone else’s mistake, she would still be enjoying her job as an influencer, a job that took off organically. As it is, her agent suggested she take a break, and visiting the hometown she couldn’t wait to escape […]
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 […]
Seeking Approval by Rachel Spangler
One of Spangler’s best Feeling seen is a rare and precious thing. We all carry the weight of expectations, some more than others. Emery Pembroke has to prove herself to be more than an impetuous heiress in order to take over as CEO of the family company after her father’s untimely death. Arden Gilderson has […]
A Love So Dark (Fatal Fidelity #4) by Rien Gray
The perfect ending for the Fatal Fidelity series A Love So Dark, the fourth and last book in the Fatal Fidelity series, starts with the perfect twist and proceeds to close on the best possible ending. I don’t often root for criminals, I’m not usually interested in amoral characters, I don’t look for stories that […]
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 […]
The No Kiss Contract by Nan Campbell
A very slow-burn, second-chance fauxmance The No Kiss Contract, her second novel after a promising debut (now a Lammy winner!), confirms that Nan Campbell is an author to watch out for. If you’re into very slow burn, second-chance, and fauxmance, this is for you. Fifteen years ago, Davy and Anna were each other’s first kiss […]
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 […]
