Book Review: Breakaway (Sin Bin: West Coast #1) by E.M. Lindsey
I enjoyed the two original entries in Lindsey’s cowritten foray into hockey romance, and while I have no idea when or whether that series will continue, I already knew I’d also be invested in the Western Conference version written by Lindsey alone. This book includes all of what I enjoyed…

Book Review: Husband Material (London Calling #2) by Alexis Hall
Read my review of the first book in the London Calling series, Boyfriend Material The structural premise of this book, four weddings and a funeral, is spelled out in the blurb. Between that setup, genre expectations over how a second story about an established relationship will play out, and the…

Book Review: Sin Deep by Jody Payne & B.A. Tortuga
I’m a total sucker for the Payne/Tortuga “East meets West with a side of kink” books, and I knew I’d be reading this one even before I found out it was set in the same world as their The Cowboy and The Dom series. One of the things that most…

Book Review: Meet Me There by K.M. Neuhold
Since I follow this author on social media, I have the pleasure of knowing that the plot of this book sprung from a chance encounter she had with a model while on vacation in New Orleans. The finished product is a lovely, slow-burn romance that I have no problem imagining…

Book Review: Vortex Conundrum (Ghostly Guardians #2) by Louisa Masters
Read my review of the first book in the Ghostly Guardians series, Spirited Situation Haunted houses tend to fall under the purview of New England when such stories are set in the United States, so I’m having fun with this slightly random but exceedingly haunted Midwest attraction. This time, one…

Read my reviews of the previous books in the SPECTR series: SPECTR: The Complete First Series SPECTR: The Complete Second Series Stalker of Shadows (#3.1) Bringer of Night (#3.2) Seeker of Truth (#3.3) Harvest of Bones (#3.4) If Hawk continues the pattern from previous SPECTR collections, this novella is the penultimate installment of this particular…

Book Review: The Sceptic (Arcana Books #1) by Lily Morton
The paranormal Black & Blue series by this same author was a departure from her contemporary/romantic comedy books, but I am more than pleased that she continues to dabble in the realm of crossing romance with dark fantasy and horror. I hesitate to call this particular book a paranormal romance…

Book Review: Adrift in the Embers (The Game #7) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of the previous books in The Game series: Top Priority (#1) Their Boy (#2) Breathless (#3) Doll Parts (#4) Out of the Ashes (#5) The Shepherd (#6) This book can probably be read as a stand-alone, but I believe it works best as a direct follow-up to the previous book in this series,…

Book Review: Rookie Mistake (On the Board #1) by Anna Zabo & L.A. Witt
For some reason, hockey romances are one of the few “sports romance” categories I can stand. Something about the typical attitudes and personalities of hockey players makes them more palatable than those of other sports players, and perhaps because it’s a sport I know just enough to be interested in…

Book Review: Harvester of Bones (SPECTR #3.4) by Jordan L. Hawk
Read my reviews of the previous books in the SPECTR series: SPECTR: The Complete First Series SPECTR: The Complete Second Series Stalker of Shadows (#3.1) Bringer of Night (#3.2) Seeker of Truth (#3.3) Because it had been a long time since I visited this world, I happily re-read the first three books in…

Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Aussie Terrors (R’iyah Family Archives #2) by A.J. Sherwood
Read my review of the first book in the R’iyah Family Archives series, A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars I absolutely fell in love with the sweetly quirky characters in the first book in this series, especially in how the multiple types of relationships blended into one love story. I…

Book Review: The Shackles That Hold Us (Magi Accounts #2) by Michele Notaro
Read my reviews of the previous novel and novellas in the Magi Accounts series. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with the worldbuilding that has gone into this familiar yet terrifying vision of our future world with the addition of magi and shifters. Most fiction shows those races coming out…

Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #2) by Jennifer Cody
Read my review of the first book in the Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees series: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer Before this book, I’d read the first installments in three separate series by Jodi Payne. I loved them all so much, that I literally couldn’t have picked…

Book Review: Until Now (Not Ready for Love #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Not Ready for Love series: Not Allowed (#1) To Love You (#2) This book is really the second part of the love story between Wyatt and Grant that starts in Not Allowed. Unfortunately for us, Hawthorne traumatizes her readers with a significant…

Review: Saint’s Song (Rebel Kings MC #2) by Garrett Leigh
Read my review of the first book in the Rebel Kings MC series, Devil’s Dance. This book picks up pretty much where the previous one left off, but with a twist. Now we also get scenes from Saint’s point of view! Though the previous installment did not end on a…

Book Review: What Remains by Garrett Leigh
At this point, I know what I’m getting into with a Leigh novel, such as developed characters and devastating emotional impact. This book is no exception, and it was the best and worst sort of vacation read. Leigh doesn’t just drop us into an established relationship and guide us through…

Book Review: Impact by Nikki Markham
Markham is a “new” author, but I am already familiar with their work in a different area of the romance genre under another pen name. I may have been predisposed toward the writing, even if this is the first F/F novel I’ve read, but it more than lived up to…

Book Review: Protection (Mobsters + Billionaires #2) by Kelly Fox
Read my review of the first book in the Mobsters + Billionaires series, Extradition. It’s no secret that I’ll read pretty much anything Fox writes at this point, but even though I ended up loving the first book, I wasn’t sure this series would live up to the world Fox…
