A very good-looking white couple, hide behind a tree in a field of red roses with a castle bridge in the background. It is night and there is a full moon. He stands behind her and has his arm around her shoulder, his head turned to listen. He wears a charcoal grey tunic, open at the throat and metal bracers. He has dark, longish hair and is clean shaven. She has dark flowing hair and wears a circlet of small white flowers. She is in a silver grey gauzy dress and has a dagger at her belt.

Dear Kristen Callihan, How wonderful to have a new book in the Game On series! I have missed this author’s books and I’m so glad she’s publishing again. (Only on Gameday features a hero with four siblings and I can only hope this book is also book one in the ... more >

Photo-realistic cover featuring a pastoral scene and a good looking white couple sitting very close together on a lawned area with paths and trees/a forest behind them in the background. They are wearing Regency garb mostly in white and cream colours. He has black top boots on, and a black top hat is near his outstretched arm on the right. Her knees are drawn up and her hands a clasped around them. She is looking toward him but down, modestly, not meeting his eye and he is smiling at her. They are both fair-haired.

Recommended Read

Dear Mary Balogh, For those who have read the Westcott series, it’s been a long wait for Winifred to get her HEA. Remember That Day is something of a crossover book, featuring the Westcotts and the Wares (of Ravenswood) and the cast is enormous. So much so, the author has ... more >

Black background with images of a heart, knives, a pair of lips and a campfire stylised as if they are led signs with large fluorescene pink and yellow titles.

Dear Patricia Briggs, Blind Date With a Werewolf is a novel told in five short stories (plus a brief epilogue), featuring Asil (“the Moor”), one of my very favourite werewolves (admittedly there are a few of them but still) in the Alpha & Omega/Mercy Thompson universe. Three of the short ... more >

Dear KJ Charles, Most of the Wyckham family are not what one might call shining examples of humanity – except for Zebedee (Zeb) Wyckham. He tries to avoid his family wherever possible and for good reason. Zeb has what we would now call ADHD although there was no diagnosis in ... more >
