Perfection on every page.

The elements of the mystery/suspense plot, the romance and strong character development are all perfectly balanced in this well written novel. I was fully invested from the very first page and fell into the intrigue, gasping were necessary and having “oh” moments. The pacing was on point and made this a definite page turner for me.
Also really appreciated that Nova and Mercy are two mature aged (in their forties) single Dads each raising a teenager and how the portrayal of their lives was so realistic. Their attraction is undeniable and they slow burn their way to more steamy moments but their journey is not just about that. There’s the realism of starting a romance with two teens to take into account.
So after some drama, suspense, some feels and a well earned HEA, I was left with a very full and happy heart for Nova and Mercy at the end.

Lucy Lennox weaves another enjoyable and fun romance filled with a great cast of characters, an interesting and engaging plot and lies, lots of lies that had me laughing out loud.

Rowe is adorably awkward and nervously rambles which makes him a terrible liar. He’s also kindhearted and on occasion a bit impetuous and I just adore him!
Upon first meeting Rowe, Bash can’t help himself and plays along with the lies including not being honest about who he actually is. This leads to some fun banter and hilarious over the top lies but the longer these deceptions go on, the more both men want them to stop. It’s not long before Rowe tells Bash the truth and they acknowledge the chemistry between them with some heated scenes mixed with tender moments.

I loved every minute of this book and devoured it in one sitting. With just a dash of angst on the way to their HEA, Rows and Bash had me laughing and smiling so hard at the end. The author also left us with plenty of teasers for the very interesting side characters and I can’t wait to see who gets their story told next.

Max is a short tempered, snarky, brilliant and funny archeologist who happens to come in a fun size package. Being short does lead to inventive ways for him to connect with Edison who is much taller than him. Edison is a big strong man with intelligence and is also a marshmallow.
Circumstances have these two very likeable characters coming into each other’s orbit and so begins an Egyptian adventure that includes some action, drama and romance. It also includes all of Edison’s fellow mercenaries and their partners in an effort to keep Max safe.
Max and Edison have an almost instant connection to each other and the chemistry between them gives way to plenty of heated moments in amongst the chaos. The road to their HEA is littered with hurdles to overcome, not so much on the romance side but from external pressures.

This is a very ending and enjoyable romantic suspense with an intriguing plot that captured me immediately. All elements of the story are perfectly balanced and I really loved, once again, the found family theme - especially in comparison the early childhood Max had. I’m very much looking forward to West and his story being told next.

Kendall is unhappy, lonely and saddened by his life and his life experiences so much that he never smiles. Alfie is always smiling and full of joy and positivity. Circumstances bring these two delightful characters together in the lead up to Christmas, a season that Kendall doesn’t celebrate and doesn’t enjoy. Alfie eventually gets Kendall to let some of his armour drop and before long Alfie has him starting to participate in and enjoy the Christmas festivities. All with the assistance of just a little bit of magic!
There’s grumpy Kendall playing the role of Santa, children that give you some feels, a baby reindeer called Mouse and a beautiful HEA in this enjoyable and engaging story about what can happen when you truly believe in magic.

So much fun in this grumpy/sunshine romance.

What a wonderful debut from this author. River is such a chaotic yet adorable and funny sci-fi nerd with a quick witty response always on tap. The alien Kai is in desperate need of some fun in his life and when circumstances have him and River come together, Kai really doesn’t know what hit him!
Together they slow burn(ish) their way to steamy heated tentacle related moments including an hilarious tentacle dance that had me laughing out loud. The investigation was intriguing and I loved how River was able to show his intelligence and thinking outside the box.

A great fun read with many pop culture references, a wonderful cast of interesting side characters and an unexpected twist at the end.
