A Most Unusual Duke by Susanna AllenShapeshifters of the Beau Monde #2Historical PNR12/28/2021 by Sourcebooks Casablanca Review by Iby There was a lot to like about this new-to-me author’s voice and characters. Although this is the second in a series, it was fine to read as a stand-alone. The plot for this historical romance is definitely unique - think home improvement on a rustic British estate, but the duke is actually a werebear shifter and the heroine he is forced to marry is a Continue Reading

Review: Manacled by SenLinYu
Manacled by SenLinYuHarry Potter fanfic2018Review by Jen This was my first fanfic. I’ve never had ANY DESIRE to read one. A romance reading friend raved about it and I decided to give it a try. First, if you’re not familiar with fanfic, it’s when a writer uses characters and/or a published popular story, then creates their own story based on the original work. Manacled is a Harry Potter fanfic that centers on Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. Or, as readers who ship them would say, Continue Reading

Audio Book Review: Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy
Good Girl Complex by Elle KennedyContemporary RomanceFebruary 1, 2022Macmillan AudioARCReview by Jen If the series Outer Banks and the book, After, had a baby…it would be Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy. Kennedy is one of my favorite authors, and this book, while predictable, hit all the right spots for me. The story takes place in a college beach town. We have the townies (Pogues for you Outer Banks fans) and the rich college kids. Mackenzie is a Continue Reading
Review: Season’s Change by Cait Nary
Season's Change by Cait NaryContemporary Romance, LGBTQ+February 1, 2022 by Carina PressARC Review by Kate H. I am not a hockey fan, but I am a fan of hockey romances. I can’t explain it. I’ve never even seen a game. Maybe it’s the way the sheer physicality of hockey juxtaposes with the more intimate aspects of the romance that makes it such a great setting for romance. Season’s Change, by Cait Nary, is my new favorite in this Continue Reading
