Mr. Darcy’s Complex Courtship by Kelly Miller @Kellyrei007  #KindleUnlimited @sophiarose1816

Mr. Darcy’s Complex Courtship offers a suspenseful variation historical romance set in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice world.  Kelly Miller has long enchanted me with her writing that uniquely approaches Jane Austen’s most popular tale with genre blends that include fantasy, romance, suspense, and mystery.  Her latest offers a tough-fought, drama-laden romance with a hint […]

🎧 Deep End by Ali Hazelwood @EverSoAli #TheresePlummer @holtzmuller @penguinaudio.bsky.social @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I really enjoy the STEM aspects of the romances by Ali Hazelwood.   Deep End has two other aspects. First, the main character Scarlet is a competitive athlete at the college and Olympic level, as is her love interest.  Second, she and her partner are both fans of BDSM.  I have read much more dark BDSM […]

The Empyrean series continues and I’m not even going to try to avoid spoilers for previous books.  The story and characters are highly entertaining and provide a dramatic, emotional tale.   Violet and Xaden are special snowflakes but they have some admirable qualities and aren’t all about themselves.  They are frantically about each other, however. Rather […]

Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter @LAPainter @lynnpainter8.bsky.social  @BerkleyRomance @berkleyromance.bsky.social

Lynn Painter is the absolute master at banter.  I  would enjoy her books just for the humor.  The dialogue is generally a bit blunt and sassy.   The characters go a bit wildly silly and add in pop culture sometimes in some of the banter and it’s just fun. It’s meant to be a bit outrageous. […]

I love the Sunrise Cove series which is a newer one.  Not that I don’t love the older series because I do.  This series is set in a beautiful place and has characters which shine.  They have the quirky, realistic foibles one can love. The humor and banter is always enjoyable. Olive is a very […]

This Haunted Heart by SL Prater #SLPrater @booksirens @SnyderBridgeFour #KindleUnlimited

I’m growing to enjoy S.L. Prater and her catalog of books with broken characters and worlds brushed lightly with magic and mysticism.  This Haunted Heart’s main characters are both broken by their shared past and the choices made that destroyed them for the last twenty years they spent apart.  This second chance romance with ghosts […]

The Pets in Space series of anthologies have delivered some of my favorite sci-fi romantic adventures and introduced me to several series that are top reads for me.  I adore how there is a theme of pets and a vast majority of sci-fi worlds and situations.  Like with previous anthologies in the series, I’ll be […]

On The Edge is the fantastic first book in The Edge Series by Ilona Andrews. I’m not one to reread books, but Ilona Andrews is one of a handful of writers I will reread. It’s been a few years since I first spent time with this series and I’m so glad to be diving back […]

Thrifty Thursday: Jodi Burnett edition @Jodi_writes #JodiBurnett #ThriftyThursday #KindleUnlimited

leo The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). I love K9 stories and liked another series by this author. Overall this series is a bit too dramatic for me in the romance storyline. Kindle freebie on December 30, 2024  (currently $5.99 at Amazon and in Kindle […]
