Briar nails another 5* romance with this delightful office-based one

The Dating Experiment by Briar Prescott My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’ve 5*-ed every book Briar Prescott has written so I think that’s a pretty good indication of how much I rate her writing. I’ve been waiting for this book with bated breath, Gray’s uptight older brother meets his match when his sharp-tongued PA Jamie proves too hard to resist. Of course, it’s not quite that simple, instead Briar…

Charles and HHH make me heart happy and theirs is a beautiful romance

Charles: Learning to Love by Con Riley My rating: 5 of 5 stars Charles and HHH (His Holy Hotness) make me heart happy. They’re such a study in contrasts and neither of them is expecting the other at the point their lives intersect. If you’ve read His Haven then you’ve already met Charles (and Hugo at a distance) and should already be utterly in love with him, because he is just the most huggable…

Ana Ashley delivers an interesting and fun ménage romance

The Resort by Ana Ashley My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was an interesting and fun ménage romance set on an island resort. Although the narrative felt a bit jerky at times, overall the storyline itself felt like it progressed at a great pace and with accurate reflections of the feelings of each of the three men involved. I liked the dynamics between Mal and Griff as a pair, and then the way they…

Great mix of slow burn and outside tension adds to a wonderful romance

Up North by Allison Temple My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a great read, it had just the right amount of tension versus enjoyment and the slow burn element fit perfectly within the narrative. I really liked the setting too, Alaska is a place which fascinates me and I know I’ll never be able to visit so I love to see it through the eyes of a book character. Here it’s somewhere our unwilling hero…

Lane melts the heart with this low angst nerd and ex-jock romance

Rules of Play by Lane Hayes My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely loved this book, it’s just everything I want in a low angst romance. The nerd and the (ex) jock trope is one if my favourites for a reason – because it gives you fantastic quirky guys like George and solid, heart of gold guys like Aiden. Throw in bisexual awakening, humour, friendship and sexual exploration and I’m happy. Lane…

Played by Cara Dee My rating: 5 of 5 stars I can’t review this book. Well, I can, but it would be one ginormous spoiler tag which would basically be me giving the equivalent of: 🥰😍🤩 🔥😛🔥 Then heading somewhere into 🙁😟 🤯🤬 💣😶 (And yes, I’m totally stealing Layla’s emoji format for that part.) So, instead I will just say book five cannot come soon enough and it’s a good job I don’t bite my nails,…
