If you have been following me on twitter or reading this blog for any length of time you will know that I adore Kit Rocha's Beyond series. I tried it out the series hesitantly and read the first book, Beyond Shame, almost out of the corner of my eye because it was all a bit…

In this third collection of short stories of love and resistance we have a lovely mix romances. Some of these stories are highly erotic, others gentle and romantic but each of them tackles how love and romance is often a political act, Loving as acts of hope and resistance when things seem darkest. Make You…

4th: Twice in a Lifetime by Jodie Griffin (eARC, out 1/22). F/F with BI MCs in their early 50s. Sexy, emotional, a little angsty. I typically back away from office romance but I loved Talia and Eve’s story. Great characterization/tension. #bookthread #rombklove (fire: gunfire) pic.twitter.com/8IXOtEYZLW — Ana Coqui (@anacoqui) January 12, 2018 Twice in a…

Best Contemporary I read a lot of fantastic Contemporary Romance this year, but three books stood out as giving me all the happy sighs. My favorite book of the year is Alisha Rai's "Wrong to Need You". It came out this week. And I need everyone to finish reading it so they can also nominate…

Best Romantic Suspense I don't read a lot of romantic suspense anymore but when I do, it is by HelenKay Dimon. The genre as whole has gone very dark but I can count on Dimon to build tension and menace without more gore or gruesomeness than I can handle. I loved Guarding Mr. Fine one…

Eventually I discovered that I needed to start reading outside Regency-wallpaper romances to rekindle my love for the sub-genre. The last couple of years have been particularly rich in fantastic…

This year has been such a roller-coaster. Back in May, discouraged by the increasingly negative news and the loss of romance conversation on twitter I was inspired and encouraged to launch a month of book discussions. #RomBkLove was a crazy amount of work (daily posts & moderating the online conversation) but it was also incredibly…

I really loved An Unsuitable Heir by K.J. Charles. My review for RT was super-positive, 4 1/2 Stars Top Pick, as I felt it was a fantastic conclusion to what has been a fantastic series by Charles. In her final Sins of the Cities novel, Charles once again makes consent, recognition and acceptance gloriously romantic…

In Spectred Isle, the porous veil that separates the mundane from the magical worlds was almost completely shredded by the terrible choices magic users made during the war. Unusual magical phenomena is more common than it was before the war, and there are less skilled occultists around, since many like Simon Feximal (from Charles’s The…

Sherry Thomas, Meredith Duran, Erin Satie, Emma Barry and J.A. Rock contributed to this anthology/guessing game. I have read multiple books by 4 out of these 5 authors, so it was an easy decision to pick up this book. Even not knowing who wrote which story, I could count on enjoying the anthology as whole.…
