Review: The Rivals of Casper Road by Roan Parrish
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

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

Wildfire by Garrett LeighLGBTQIA RomanceSeptember 8, 2022Heart Eyes Press Review by Kate H. Wildfire is Garrett Leigh’s most recent contribution to In Vino Veritas series (an extension of the Vino & Veritas series), which in turn is just part of Sarina Bowen’s World of True North, all set in Vermont. Sounds complicated? The good thing is each book is intended to stand alone, multiple authors write independently for each series, and you can pretty much dip in Continue Reading
