The Hollywood heiress and the fisherman

September 13, 2015 by Malin Leave a Comment

Like their friends Mia and Ansel, Harlow Vega and Finn Roberts had a wild, unforgettable night together in Vegas, where they drunkenly got married. Unlike their friends, Harlow and Finn got an annulment the very next morning. While the sex was amazing, neither of them are entirely sure they even like each other. With the exception of a brief impulsive weekend, when Harlow turned up at Finn’s house in Canada wearing nothing but a trench coat, where they spent their whole time together hooking up, […]

A Funny Contemporary LGBT Romance

September 10, 2015 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

This is my first Australian romance, plus it’s about two men, neither of them are confused about their sexual preference, and it was written by a man. Huzzah! From Amazon: The most important things in Simon Murray’s life are football, friends, and film—in that order. His friends despair of him ever meeting someone, but despite his loneliness, Simon is cautious about looking for more. Then his best friends drag him to a party, where he barges into a football conversation and ends up defending the […]

Another Meh Contemporary Romance Novella

September 9, 2015 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

This novella from the A Matter of Time series was a heightened reality ball of fluff that catches the two leads’ story in media res. From Amazon: After years of domestic partnership, Jory Harcourt and Sam Kage are finally going to make it official in their home state of Illinois. It’s been a long and rocky road, and nothing—not disasters at work, not the weather, not a possible stalker, not even getting beat up and having to attend the ceremony looking like he just got […]

A lot of Goodreads readers liked this a lot more than I did

September 6, 2015 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars All Jasmin “Jess” Bianchi has ever wanted to do was make perfumes, like her father. The brain-child behind the massively popular Spoiled Brat, she has achieved great commercial success, but is everyone assumes that what she intended as an ironic comment on the industry is all she’s capable of. When she inherits a small perfume shop in Provence, in the same year she had to bury her father and the little artisanal perfume company she had started was bought up by the powerful […]

Romantic suspense that came recommended and which I now, too, recommend

September 3, 2015 by alwaysanswerb 3 Comments

Against the Dark was a very fun entry to a series I plan on finishing. Thank you to Malin and Sophia for the recommendation! Angel Rodriguez is a retired safecracker who is pulled into one last mission with her old gang, because the life of a loved one is on the line and she is the only one who can crack a certain make of safes, due to an apprenticeship with their inventor. The burglary job targets Walter Borgola, one of the most slimy and reprehensible […]
