After Take Me Home, I just had to read the other two Coffee House Shorts from this author. Where as that book was a very short story, this one is a little longer, and as a result we discover more about Suki and Simone, individual coffee shop owners who respect and like each other, despite...

Triggers: Domestic abuse See also: A Bridge to Forever by N. Dune I wasn't going to read this series, as I find the whole subject of domestic violence incredibly upsetting, but this is a great start to the three book series. Lou is an engaging character, who bravely makes the decision to run from her... Continue Reading →
I wish, I wish, there was a way of bottling Tirza Schaefer's feel-good, lusciously romantic, spiritual and sexy stories into a a magic tonic. We could take it every time we felt bad, and the world would be a much better place, I swear. You cannot be a cynic if you love Tirza's books. They... Continue Reading →
This is the first of my 2023 reviews, and it has started with a bang. Lots of banging, actually, as David and Bradley are a very lusty pair. This review is for the complete series, which is available as one book. I'll be absolutely honest, it was a fun read, but after Valencia With Love,... Continue Reading →
This short story (17 pages) is part of the Coffee House Shorts series of sweet MM romances. I chose it because of the cover, which shows two lovely elder gentlemen, and I was intrigued by the story line. Romances involving senior characters are hard to find! Take Me Home is a lovely, cosy read with... Continue Reading →

This unabashed MM romance is delightful, and sparkles off the page. It has everything a non-cynical, Christmas-loving, egg-nog glugging, cashmere scarf wearing, relentlessly cheerful, saying Happy Christmas to everybody, Fair Isle sock rocking, winter bunny could ever want. It has a cute dog. It has a cheerful brother with A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM. It has... Continue Reading →
Part of the Bondi Bears series, this is a standalone novel of extremely high quality. Yes, there is a LOT of sex, but to counteract it, there is a searing story of half-brothers finding love, acceptance and learning to accept their chaotic childhoods. All through this book I was waiting for the crunch, the one... Continue Reading →
This queen of dark romance is a go-to for me, as her women are strong, her men captivating and her plots are as twisted as hell. And I'm here for it, all the way. At first, Klara Cohen doesn't seem strong at all. She is confined to a wheelchair with a rare condition, Malignant Catatonia,... Continue Reading →
Part of the Wonderland Chronicles, this exquisite little novella is an intense read. What I loved about this was that 'Alice' is a professional woman, who has chosen to go to Wonderland at her own volition. She hasn't been coerced in any way. She's there to seek release, adventure and enlightenment, and Sir is ready... Continue Reading →
