I’ve been a fan of Layla Reyne’s romantic suspense since the start of her Whiskeyverse universe. They’re ridiculously fun m/m romances with plenty of twisty suspense. In this case it even includes marriage of convenience and single dad tropes! This is the second in the series and can’t be read as a standalone, and this review will contain spoilers for the first book. After the events of the last book, Marsh, Levi, and his teen son David need a safe place to lie low, and the safest place Marsh can think of is his mothers’ ranch. Marsh believes it’s hisRead the Post
Review: Witchful Thinking – Celestine Martin
I don’t know what’s with the abundance of cozy witchy romances lately, but I am all here for it! Even with the witchy vibes, this is more of a beach read as it’s set over the summer in a small town on the Jersey Shore. It’s also a childhood friends, slow burn, second chance romance, so it was right up my alley, especially with that adorable cover. “Nana had a saying when it came to matters of adult life and love: Fish or cut bait. You either made a move or you left a person alone.” Lucy, a witch, andRead the Post
Review: Visible Mending – M. Arbon
I very much enjoyed the first book in the Clover Hill series, so I was so excited to start the next one, especially when I saw it had a nonbinary crafty main character. While there’s not much overlap between the two books, it was still a joy to read a romance set in a very queer-friendly small town. Edd spends his days baking and delivering his desserts to his various friends in Clover Hill, or hanging out with his artist friends. He’s not much of an artist himself – well, if you don’t count dressing stylishly – but he lovesRead the Post
Review: Looks Good on Paper – Kilby Blades
I was in the mood for a quick cute rom-com, and this book certainly delivered. A penpal romance with a dash of travel and some craftiness, this book hit a lot of the right notes for me. “We are writing to each other. On paper. Because paper is kind of my thing.” Zuri may be underpaid and unrecognized at her job – customer service for an online dating app called Hookupz – but work is just to pay her bills. Her true passions are gardening and paper. When her favorite paper company sets up an anonymized penpal service, Zuri jumps to joinRead the Post
Review: Winning Move – Skye Kilaen
I gobble up everything by Skye Kilaen, so when I saw she was writing the first book in a multi-author series set in a queer small town? Oh heck yes. And it’s exactly what I wanted – an adorably geeky and queer small town romance. Gina has a comfortable life in Clover Hill. She splits her time between working at the front desks of the vet clinic and her uncle’s garage, she plays board games at the local library, and she visits her Great Aunt Ophelia at her retirement home. Her life is full and the last thing she wantsRead the Post
Review: Court of the Vampire Queen – Katee Robert
I had these on my TBR for a while when they were previously self-published as the Bloodline Vampires novella series. So of course I jumped at the chance to read an ARC of the books released in one volume. This is pure Katee Robert, but it reminds me more of her Touch of Taboo series than her newer Dark Olympus books. Mina is a dhampir (half-vampire, half-human) but unlike her half-siblings, she hasn’t inherited any of her vampire father’s power. Bloodline vampires like him have specific powers like the ability to control fire or shapeshift. Her only use is asRead the Post
Review: A Taste of Gold and Iron – Alexandra Rowland
This is a near-perfect enemies-to-lovers bodyguard romance set in an Ottoman-inspired setting. There are misconceptions! Political intrigue! Random swordfights! It’s just lovely and I absolutely devoured this book. After his sister the empress safely delivered her daughter, Kadou should be relieved. Instead, high tempers and a misunderstanding lead to a deadly end, and Kadou feels like it’s all his fault. Determined to prove himself, he takes on investigating a break-in with his stern new guard, Evemer. But what should be a simple case of robbery turns out to be much worse, and the fate of the entire empire may lieRead the Post
Review: Pack of Lies – Charlie Adhara
I deeply loved the Big Bad Wolf series, so while I was happy to see Cooper and Oliver finally get their HEA I was sad to say goodbye to the world. Well, luckily we have a new spinoff series starring Eli. While he was a character in past books (and there’s more cameos as well), I’d say you could pick this up as a standalone, though seriously, go read the other series! “It seemed absurd, a monster going monster hunting. But why not? Just for a couple of days. What could possibly go wrong?” With Oliver and Cooper away onRead the Post
Review: The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy – Megan Bannen
A book involving zombies, familial trauma and so many dead bodies has no right being this adorable. It’s weird and impossible to categorize, but it’s ultimately an enemies-to-lovers romance that delighted me to no end. “Most people start with hello.” “Hello, Hart-ache,” she sighed. “Hello, Merciless.” After her father’s heart attack, Mercy’s taken on the lion’s share of work at her family’s undertaking business. Trying to keep it afloat is hard enough, but dealing with Hart, the Tanrian Marshal who frequently drops off dead drudges – basically zombies – is an additional annoyance she’d gladly do without. Even if heRead the Post
Review: Muscles & Monsters – Ashley Bennett
This is like one of those cupcakes that looks absolutely gorgeous but the frosting to cake ratio is way off. The cover is adorable, the premise is cute, but there wasn’t quite enough substance there for me. After Tegan fumbles a wedding cake and Atlas comes to her rescue, she’s fascinated by the muscly wolven (basically a human/werewolf mashup). Atlas also can’t get the curvy human off his mind. It’s not just insta-lust but insta-love, and the speed with which they went from meeting to hooking up to declaring it true love gave me whiplash. “I’m here every day. IRead the Post
