REVIEW: Nice Tie by Jules Jones

WillafulD Reviewscontemporary gay fiction / fetish / m/m17 Comments

Dear Ms. Jones: I was intrigued by the premise of this novella because I often find reading about kinks fascinating — the intense excitement they create, and how seemingly random yet intricately developed they are.

REVIEW: Her Best Laid Plans by Cara McKenna

WillafulC+ ReviewsContemporary romance / Ireland / novella / vacation romanceComments Off on REVIEW: Her Best Laid Plans by Cara McKenna

Dear Ms. McKenna: During a vacation around ten years ago, I observed a couple of teenagers beginning a flirtation in the hotel pool.

REVIEW: Fool Me Twice by Meredith Duran

WillafulB Reviews / Recommended ReadsEnglish Historical / Historical / Victorian / widower15 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Duran: Just the title is probably enough to clue in readers of That Scandalous Summer that this book will be about widower Alistair de Grey, who went spectacularly round the bend over his late wife’s betrayal in that story. And who else would he be paired with but ... more >

REVIEW: An Heir of Uncertainty by Alyssa Everett

WillafulC Reviews6 Comments

Dear Ms. Everett: This had two elements I normally loath in a Regency romance: a punning title, and a mystery. I love the title, which is both elegant and appropriate. The mystery… not so much, although my reasons may not apply to other readers. Lina, Lady Radbourne, is shocked when ... more >
