Despite the darkness of its title, Desolation is a truly delightful and well-rounded debut novel from R.L. Caulder.

Sober up, Lana! Sober up! You’re talking to a Goddess!” Our heroine, Lana, is – in a...

ShamelessSybil Bartel(Alpha Bodyguard #8)Publication date: June 18th 2020Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance Bodyguard. Shadow. Warrior. The Marines trained me to be a weapon.

Wonderfully Weighty RomCom/Mystery

After falling head over heels for Ballybeg in Love and Shenanigans, I was both stoked and a little scared to read Love and Leprechauns (I skipped Love and Blarney, #2 and a stand-alone novella). I loved the world and Zara Keane‘s writing style so much in the first installation that I was afraid the next full novel wouldn’t live up to the first.  But let me tell you:  this one was just as good! The setting of this install...

Fresh, Fun & Fantastic RomCom!

A Little Light Realism: Zoe York’s Pine Harbour Series
Contemporary Romance / March 5, 2015

I don’t know about you, but I hate stories where characters are cliches and dialogue is stale and far from believable.  So, when I discovered Zoe York, I *may* have squealed a bit with delight. My first Zoe York book, Love in a Small Town, was a fun, easy read. There was mystery, there was conflict, there was romance, there was self-discovery, and yes, there was sex. The first book in the Pine Harbour series, Love in a Small T...
