Best Served Hot by Amanda Elliot

“I want to keep things anything but professional,” he said, voice low. It thrummed somewhere deep in my stomach. “I mean, unless you want to keep things professional.” I traced my own thumbs over his palms. They curled reflexively up into my hands. “I want you to stop saying the word professional. And thinking it.” I swallowed hard. Once I said this, there was no going back. But I didn’t want to go back. “I don’t want to keep things professional. At all.” “Then we’re […]

10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall

We spend a good few minutes wrangling with nachos. To be honest, they’re a good fit for the very unusual occasion of two people who are blatantly into each other having a meal where they have to pretend they aren’t. They’re not so messy it’s embarrassing, they require just enough cooperation that you’ve got to interact, but not so much it gets sexy. ― Alexis Hall, 10 Things That Never Happened “Worst comes to absolute worst, I’ll just arrange to get whacked on the head […]

New Jackie Lau with Fake Dating – I was automatically in!

Love, Lies, & Cherry Pie by Jackie Lau

by Leave a Comment

I make a habit of reading Jackie Lau books when I can, and being able to read Love, Lies, & Cherry Pie as an ARC was something I just couldn’t pass up, particularly when the logline for the book is a Pride and Prejudice retelling having a good time with some tropes (Lau tends to always have more than one in her work). The tropes in question are fake dating, forced proximity, and enemies to lovers, and I think Lau did a good job with […]

He couldn’t tell them that the right one had come along, and it was the pissed-off Russian man heading to the penalty box.

Heated Rivalry Ilya smiled to himself. He actually loved this. He loved being on the road, and disappointing home crowds across North America. He loved the insults, the booing, and, most of all, the sound of a crowd so gutted by his team’s performance that they couldn’t even bother to boo. A winded, humiliated crowd. That was Ilya’s favorite sound. ― Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry “Um, and this is….Ilya. Rozanov. You probably know that.” What were they, exactly? It occurred to Shane that he and […]

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

If you’re a fan of the enemies-to-lovers genre of romance, do I have the book for you! Lucy and Josh are executive assistants for the co-Editors in Chief of a publishing company, and they hate each other’s guts. Every day since the day they met has been a series of games of one-upmanship, whether it’s the Staring Game, the Copycat Game, or something else entirely. Lucy and Josh are oil and water, chalk and cheese – they have completely different ways of looking at the […]

Mason Bloom Takes Charge of his One Goddamn Life was never meant to be a romance.

Off Plan: A Whispering Key Novel by May Archer

by Leave a Comment

And if the Universe was sentient enough to be sending out warnings to certain people, I could only conclude it hated me, because it hadn’t sent me a warning for any damn thing, ever, as evidenced by the fact that I lived on a forgotten island with my hick cousins and my wacky uncle, and hadn’t had sex since January. ― May Archer, Off Plan “No,” I resumed walking. “I’m not up in his business either. Not like that. We’re friends. We decided.” “You realize […]
