4.5 stars. Beautiful demi/bi awakening romance.

Foster is an EMT on the island and meets kitchen manager Dutch, and his daughter Hazel, at a school event. Hazel is an absolute hoot and invites Foster over for a tea party. Slowly but surely Foster and Dutch develop a friendship that they both desperately need.

With Hazel constantly wrangling invitations, these two wonderful characters soon spend every spare moment together. Without any relationship angst or upheaval they soon fall for each other, declarations are made and a beautiful romance begins, with a lovely balance of sweet and heat.

But drama does comes calling for Dutch when people from his past come to threaten the life he has built for himself and Hazel. Once the threat is over Dutch and Foster get to enjoy their lives together and their HEA.

This is an enjoyable and engaging read with a great cast of characters, including those from previous books in the series.

The last thing local librarian Scott expected was to have social worker Anthony turn up at his front door with twin babies. Babies that Scott fathered via anonymous donation. His life is turned upside down but he’s determined to be a good father to Alicia and Zayden. Anthony is determined to help as much as he possibly can.

As these two very likeable characters get into the rhythm of caring for twins, schedules and general co-parenting dynamics they start to develop feelings for one another. This is a heartfelt low heat romance where two men, two babies and a cat become a family filled with love and a HEA that left me smiling.

Great start to a new series.


Aaron, a wolf shifter is the Alpha of the West Mill pack whilst Marshall, a human is ex military. Both are suffering from the same debilitating mystery illness and a chance encounter has them coming together at the pack house.

So begins their return to health but not without a hiccup or two along the way. It just so happens that these two wonderful characters are also not just mates but also they are uniquely soul bound. As their connection deepens they do need to overcome the logistics of being together, their relationship to each other and to the pack. Of course there’s plenty of chemistry leading to steamy times on the way to their HEA.

I was fully engaged with this book from start to finish and the interesting cast of side characters have me looking forward to more in the series.

Opposites really do attract in this very engaging and enjoyable romance between best friends Lawson and Chester (Chess).

Lawson is gruff, sarcastic and cynical, grumpy and anti relationships due to his less than stellar parents. He also despises all things Christmas. Chess is a big marshmallow who is full of sweetness and sunshine, super loyal, very passionate and full of optimism. He also loves Christmas. Somehow these two ending up being the best of friends sharing a home together.

Chess, along with the other Vet Shop Boys employees, decides to show Lawson how wonderful Christmas can really be. This leads to some fun get togethers with the veterinarians and abs are involved! Slowly but surely this “mission” has Lawson starting to enjoy the season and all the new traditions that he and Chess come up with. Traditions that lead to some very sweet and steamy times!

This book had me laughing at times and also feeling a bit heart sore for Lawson’s childhood but I had a huge smile on my face at the end. All the characters from previous books are here to celebrate and we get a tiny glimpse of what’s coming next. You don’t need to have read the previous books but it would enhance the reading experience.
