Review: Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

November 17, 2022 by Melanie

Ship Wrecked by Olivia DadeContemporary Romance November 15, 2022 by Avon Review by Melanie Let me begin by stating that Olivia and I are very friendly on Twitter and I generally adore her both as a writer and as a human. That being said, I can promise you that my personal feelings for her did not in any way influence the amount of effusive praise I am about to heap on this book  I don’t know what it is about her books that just does it for me but to be blunt, Olivia’s brand of Continue Reading

Review: Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan

November 16, 2022 by Melinda

Before I Let Go by Kennedy RyanSkyland #1Contemporary RomanceNov 15, 2022 by ForeverARC Review by Melinda Kennedy Ryan has covered heavy topics in her books before, like domestic violence,  racism, and rape. The reason I love her writing is because she writes everything, including those heavy topics, with such depth. Her characters are always nuanced and fully fleshed out, and whatever topic she’s writing on it’s clear she’s done her research. At this point, I trust her to take care with Continue Reading

Review: Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai

November 9, 2022 by Angela

Partners in Crime by Alisha RaiContemporary RomancePublished October 18, 2022 by Avon Review by Angela Alisha Rai is one of my go-to authors when I want an emotional, sexy contemporary romance. So when this book came up for review I snapped it up. The blurb sounded fun and I was all in for an adventure romance. Blurb: Indian Matchmaking meets Date Night in this fun, romantic adventure in which a match-made couple about to be engaged gets caught up in a caper that puts their Continue Reading

Review: The Rivals of Casper Road by Roan Parrish

October 27, 2022 by Kate H.

The Rivals of Casper Road by Roan ParrishLGBTQ+ RomanceSept 27, 2022 by Harlequin Review by Kate H. I’ve been procrastinating on this review because I am a fan of Roan Parrish.  I love her Middle of Somewhere and Riven series, and I have enjoyed the Garnet Run books, set in one of those utopian small towns where half the population is queer and the other half is benign.  The third book in the series The Lights on Knockbridge Lane took Continue Reading

Review: You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky

October 20, 2022 by Kate

You're a Mean One, Matthew PrinceTimothy JanovskyLGBT Contemporary RomancePublished October 4, 2022, by Sourcebooks Casablanca Reviewed by Kate You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince is a perfectly acceptable Christmas romance novel. It’s a combo of It Happened One Summer and Boyfriend Material, with a splash of Hallmark movie. Luckily, unlike Hallmark Christmas movies, Matthew and his love interest, Hector, do kiss earlier than the last page, for those of you who care about that kind of Continue Reading
