Contemporary Romance published by That’s What She Said Publishing 11 Mar 25
Hazel Hart has a huge hill to climb, and for a good part of this book, that hill seems to get steeper and steeper. Even once she meets the handsome Campbell Bishop.

REVIEW: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab
Kaitlyn‘s review of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab
Fantasy published by Tor Books 10 Jun 25
V.E. Schwab has very quickly become an absolute favorite author of mine. After loving the Shades of Magic trilogy and The Fragile Threads of Power, I figured I’d be just as taken with Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. I wasn’t wrong!
REVIEW: A Royal Mile by Samantha Young
Sandy M’s review of A Royal Mile (Return to Dublin Street, Book 2) by Samantha Young
Contemporary Romance published by Samantha Young 19 June 25
I always have at the back of my mind the older I get, perhaps I won’t care for younger characters as much as I used to – especially those by a favorite author, most of whom are also younger themselves. I mean, I’m in my 50th+ year of reading romance. I tell myself to try to remember what I was going through in my 20s and leaving out what I’ve learned over the years after that, because these characters still have to catch up. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t. In this case, the second generation from Ms. Young’s Dublin Street series have made me quite happy when figuring out their lives and falling in love.

Regency Romance published by St. Martin’s Griffin 24 Jun 25
Lottie Travers would definitely qualify as a hoyden with her penchant to ride horses astride and in breeches. Guy Harrowby, Viscount Wennington, is quiet and hides away from society, especially after he committed a public faux pas during his first season. Their initial meeting is definitely not fun and pleasant, but then why is Lottie the only woman who stands out amidst a load of eligible women his mother has assembled as aspirants for his bride to be?

REVIEW: Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts
Sandy M’s review of Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts
Romantic Suspense published by St. Martin’s Press 27 May 25
I always enjoy Nora Roberts’ characters and plots. They’re charming and intriguing, then suspenseful and romantic. This time around all of that is there as anticipated – and then some – but it’s the villains that very nearly steal the show.
