Stars Collide by Rachel Lacey
Rachel Lacey’s books always make me happy At thirty-six, Eden Sands is in a slump. And yes, she’s a superstar but she’s also relatively recently divorced, her shows don’t sell out in a few minutes anymore and her last album is doing okay. Okay isn’t enough and while Eden is mostly okay too, it’s not […]
Honeymoon for One by Rachel Bowdler
A sweet if a little melancholy rom-com Damn, this was sweet… And a little sad. And relatable. When Robin’s fiancée cheated on her, the wedding was cancelled and Robin forgot about the honeymoon in a Canadian ski resort. Not the most obvious choice when you live in the north of England but Robin didn’t have […]

The Thing About Tilly by G Benson, narrated by Cat Gould
G Benson writes angst beautifully once again I loved everything about this book when I first read it, and reacquainting myself with the characters in audio was pure joy. I love them all, Tilly and Evie of course but also Sean, Cal, Evie’s mum Lin, Luke, Laura… And I might be just a tiny little […]

There’s Magic Between Us by Jillian Maria
A surprising YA fantasy novel with wonderful characters When she told her grandma she hoped to visit soon, sixteen-year-old Lydia meant it in a polite way, not in an I’ll-be-there-next-week way. Her grandmother was so happy though that when her mother drives her from Chicago to the tiny town of Fairbrooke, Wisconsin, Lydia vows to […]
A very good friends-to-lovers romance with a bit of food for thought
Review of Swipe Right by Tagan Shepard This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it won’t be my last. Somehow Ms. Shepard flew under my radar but I got a taste of her writing in Bella’s Wedding Anthology Save the Date, I particularly enjoyed the introduction. I was intrigued by this […]
A free new adult novella featuring non-binary and pansexual characters
Review of Stop and Stare by Katia Rose Ms. Rose is a seasoned author of mainly m/f romance books. Her first f/f romance, Catch and Cradle is a very good new adult book. After reading it, I decided to get the novella Stop and Stare which is set in the same universe and is offered […]
A quick and fun sci-fi mystery with polyamorous characters

On a three-day leave after a huge victory in the war against the Cyberbionautic Alliance, Casne is planning to celebrate with her best friend and partner Triz. Yet, instead of being honoured as the hero she […]
