Stevie‘s review of Two Rogues Make a Right (Seducing the Sedgwicks, Book 3) by Cat Sebastian
Gay and Bisexual Historical Romance published by Avon Impulse 23 Jun 20
When I reviewed the previous book in the series, I was keen to learn more about Martin and Will. This time around, I got my wish. Unlike the pairings in the other books, Martin and Will have known each other for most of their lives. Although they have been apart for much of their adulthood, they have kept in touch by letters until quite recently. Now, however, both have been broken by their experiences, and Martin in particular is also in very poor health. So much so, in fact, that Will has kidnapped him and brought him out of London to a tiny cottage on one of Martin’s country estates.
REVIEW: Ten Things I Hate about the Duke by Loretta Chase

This gives readers a taste for the deliciousness that is set to unfold for their reading pleasures during this story. read more…
REVIEW: Gone with the Rogue by Amelia Grey
Veena’s review of Gone with the Rogue (First Comes Love, Book 2) by Amelia Grey
Historical Romance published by St. Martin’s Paperbacks 28 Apr 20
English society in the regency period is full of double standards and very restrictive towards women in general and noble women in particular. Julia Fairbright would love to buck the system, but she’s held back by her father-in-law, a duke holding her son hostage to her good behavior. All bets are off, though, when she’s discovered in Hyde Park in a tree by the most notorious rake of all.
REVIEW: The Bribe by Willa Nash
Contemporary Romance published by Devney Perry LLC 15 Oct 20
This is Devney Perry’s foray into romantic suspense with a new and shiny pseudonym, and I knew I would love it when I initially I read about this debut book in the Calamity, Montana series. I’m happy to say I was so very right. From first crazy meeting to learning about all secrets that will slowly and eventually come along, this story has it all, especially an alpha and compassionate hero who goes after what he wants.
REVIEW: Fatal Deception by April Hunt
Romantic Suspense published by Forever 10 Nov 20
With COVID-19, this story about a virus gone rogue hits pretty close to home. Roman and Isabel are adversaries from the get-go, especially since the virus was stolen out of a protected lab run by Isabel, and Roman is the secret ops guy hired to find the thieves and prevent a fatal outbreak. The story moves fast, chilling and thrilling readers with quite a few curve balls to keep the nerves humming.

REVIEW: Have You Seen Me? by Kate White
Stevie‘s review of Have You Seen Me? by Kate White
Contemporary Thriller published by Harper Paperbacks 28 Apr 20
Memory loss can be absolutely terrifying to experience, for all that it’s a commonplace – many would say overused – romance trope. No wonder, then, that it’s also a staple of the horror and thriller genres as the afflicted protagonist attempts to piece together the missing hours or days and find an explanation for their erasure, even as external forces conspire to prevent that happening. In this story, our heroine initially finds herself missing several years of her life, acting out her morning routine as if she were still working for a former employer. However, once she accepts that she’s in the wrong office building, and receives the all-clear as regards her physical health, she is able to remember all but the events of the past few days. Even that, though, is disturbing, since there is evidence to suggest someone has sustained an injury, and with no recollection of who, what, or how this possible accident happened, Ally has no way of knowing whether she was witness, victim, or perpetrator.
REVIEW: The Awakening by Nora Roberts
Fantasy Romance published by St. Martin’s Press 24 Nov 20

The winds of change, however, are blowing in her favor when a drawer in her mother’s office blows open and a file showing Breen as the owner of a multi-million dollar account lies at her feet. Now tattooed with the word “courage” on her wrist, she’s on her way to Ireland to rekindle the memories of her Irish father with her best friend in tow. What a great beginning to a new trilogy that introduces readers to a wonderful cast of characters, parallel universes, magic, and the looming epic battle between good and evil.

REVIEW: Happily Letter After by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
Contemporary Romance published by Montlake 20 Oct 20
I’m learning very quickly I should never pass up a book by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward working together, though they also write wonderful romance individually. They give me something unusual every time, and this book is no different. Letters to Santa, second chances, and fate giving a single dad, his little girl, and a stranger the love of a lifetime.
