Rediscovering Her Muse

A Liaison with Her Leading Lady by Lotte R. James

March 29, 2024 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Desperate to save her beloved father’s theatre, actress Ruth seeks out famed dramatist Artemis in an attempt to coax her out of her self-imposed exile from the English stage. This is a delightful and unusual historical romance, following as it does two women who live on the fringes of respectable society in Regency England. The author has worked in theatre herself, and her experience and understanding of stagecraft shines through during the whole story, aided by plenty of research into the changing theatre scene at […]

Love in the Quiet Places

A Daddy for Her Twins by Scarlet Wilson

March 2, 2024 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Three years after the death of her husband, single mom and physiotherapist Madison must figure out if she is ready to move on with the new pediatric doctor Fletch. I don’t know if Harlequin’s been publishing a spate of single parent romances lately or I’m just reading more of them. Sometimes they can be too saccharine or the kids might seem to have been written by someone who’s never met a kid, but when done right it adds another dimension to the romance. This is […]

Alphahole vs Therapy

A Christmas Consequence for the Greek by Lucy King

December 1, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Caterer Mia doesn’t think there’s any issue in topping off her triumph at billionaire Zander’s birthday bash by going to bed with him – until she realizes the one night stand’s resulted in a baby. Harlequin romances come through for me whenever I want a low brain happy read, and have done so again in this book. It’s part of the Harlequin Presents imprint, which is the line you’re thinking of when you think of the classic high drama romance with wealthy heroes and exotic […]

She’s a Queen, He’s Just an Asshole

Second Chance with His Viking Wife by Sarah Rodi

August 13, 2023 by Pooja 6 Comments

CBR15 Bingo – Europe: This book is set in Saxon England, and additionally includes Norse characters who immigrated there from Greenland. Teon hasn’t seen his wife Revna in years, when they were forced to wed to prevent a war. He hates Vikings, her father especially, and yet he can’t help but be drawn to her. I picked up this book because I’m trying to read more historical romance from different settings, and I don’t recall having read a Viking romance before, especially one it is the […]

Harper, have you considered… therapy?

Harper and the Single Dad by Amy Andrews

April 7, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

After an abrupt breakup with Yarran, Harper fled to London and immersed herself in her career as a surgeon. When she returns to Sydney twelve years later, it almost feels like things between her and Yarran haven’t changed at all – except that Yarran has been married, widowed, and had a young son in that time. I pick up Harlequin romances to read when I am in the mood for a simple, comforting romance, and this book did not fail me in that regard. A […]

In the Spirit of Collaboration

Four Weeks to Forever by Karen Booth

February 2, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Different (sub)genres #3 Business rivals Corryna and Colin have a one night stand, but it’s when they start working together to secure the contract for a star-studded wedding that they really start getting along. Sometimes your brain needs a break, and it’s in that state of mind that one often turns to a Harlequin contemporary romance – certainly you’re not often disappointed. This is the third in a series of intertwined books surrounding a wedding, but each stands alone as well which […]
