Katie Clark went with her boyfriend when he wanted to move to Alaska and worked to save up for her own college education while putting him through college. Knowing that her family weren’t huge fans, she didn’t tell them that she actually got married while they were there. By the time it was Katie’s turn to go to college, it was too late. Her husband had emptied their joint savings account, leaving her a note saying he was off to find himself, hiking in Nepal. […]
I don’t think two single consenting adults hooking up are misbehaving all that much
3.5 stars Having really enjoyed Along Came Trouble, I wanted to check out more of Ruthie Knox’ Camelot series, and as they are extremely reasonably priced (this, for instance is only $0.99), I went out and bought the entire thing. This novella is a sort of prequel, showing how Amber, Caleb (the hero in Along Came Trouble)’s older sister met her husband Tony. Amber Clark is your quintessential good girl, working as a program director at the Camelot Community Centre, spending quiet nights in the […]
If only all trouble came in such attractive packages
Disclaimer! I was given a free copy of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review. Single mother and entertainment lawyer Ellen Callahan just wants to live a quiet life, which is not as easy after her twin brother, an international pop superstar, fell in love with and was photographed spending time with her pregnant next-door neighbour.

Ruby is an engineering intern at a London firm. An American living abroad, she […]
I wanted more ships; I got more ships
It wasn’t too long ago that, upon reading a highly enjoyable seaward romance, I thought to myself “this is a niche I want to explore.” Lo and behold, I happen upon a recommendation for Almost a Scandal, only to find it was already on my TBR, and away we go! This was a true delight — about 4.5 stars, and I honestly can’t think of a good reason why I’m leaving off that last .5, other than some nebulous form of contrarianism. But let’s not quibble — […]
The safe cracker and the nerdy secret agent
Five years ago, Angel Ramirez gave up safe-cracking and stealing and swore to mend her ways, sick of hurting and using people. She’s been working hard to stay on the straight and narrow, making a living as an interior decorator, trying to earn the forgiveness of her disappointed family members.
