The writing ability of this author never ceases to amaze me. Before opening a page I know that the balance between plot, pacing and the characters will be perfect and this book is no exception.

Magnus and Laurie are strongly developed characters that had me in hysterics. The non stop witty banter and deadpan humour made for a very enjoyable romantic comedy reading experience. Their initial meeting is arguably one of the funniest I’ve read and it involves creative use of a haberdashery item. I so enjoyed watching grumpy Magnus begrudgingly reveal the person that only Laurie can see and all the lighthearted moments shared between them.

They become friendly and that friendship evolves into more when they can no longer deny the chemistry between them. Whilst that leads to many a steamy moment, it doesn’t automatically lead to an HEA. That only comes when a mystery is revealed and the subsequent crises is overcome.

This was a one sitting read for me that captured my heart and had me constantly laughing out loud.

Another master class from Nicky James who has woven another intricate and intriguing plot balanced by the fledgling relationship between two strong but flawed main characters.

Quaid has his personal insecurities and those combined with a lot of work stress add pressure to his new relationship with Aslan. Include the possibly of a life changing event in Aslan’s life and this have the potential for the relationship to get messy.

We were left with a final line bombshell in the 2nd book and that investigation is the focus of this book. I was kept guessing all the way through and was amazed that the questions left over from book 2 were answered in such a mind blowing way. This was a page turner for me and I loved every minute of it. Looking forward to more of Quaid and Aslan.

This contemporary mafia romance has plenty of action and drama happening as Dante and Rainn embark on their romance. Dante is the leader of a crime family and Rainn is a high end brothel escort in one of the many businesses owned by Dante.

Circumstances have them crossing paths and the attraction between them is immediate and sizzling leading to many high heat moments. With the darkness of Dante’s world descending upon them, enemies endeavour to destroy all that’s meaningful to Dante, including Rainn. The path to their hard earned HEA is littered with death and destruction but is achieved by overcoming these numerous hurdles.

The great cast of main and side characters and the interesting plot kept my fully engaged from start to finish. Whilst the Dante and Rainn get their HEA the danger is far from over and I look forward to more in the series.

Avery and Malik are coworkers, former SEALs and identify as straight until one kiss has them rethinking everything. Of course there are ups and downs along the way and my heart went out to Avery as he struggled with becoming the person he always wanted to be. Fortunately he has Malik who is compassion personified and is always uplifting Avery in every way and accepts everything about him unconditionally.

There is a touch of angst as these two wonderful characters find their way to a well deserved HEA. There’s also plenty of steam, lots of sweet, silky lace and a little bit of kink as they explore the boundaries of their newfound sexuality.

The author has portrayed the struggles Avery and Malik have due to their military service in a compassionate and sensitive manner. Combined with a very interesting and engaging plot and a terrific cast of characters I read this in one sitting and was left with a full and happy heart at the end.
