Narrated by Mhairi Morrison, I was drawn to Earl Cush by Alexandra Vasti by its synopsis. The idea of a lady showing up on a reclusive Scottish earl’s doorstep and offering him marriage. Toss in some espionage, as I was all. A delightful romcom with plenty of spice and humor made this a perfect winter afternoon escape. Just add some Earl Grey and a cozy blanket.
Better Than Friends by Jill Shalvis
Better Than Friends by Jill Shalvis is the seventh standalone romance in the Sunrise Cove romance series. Shalvis delivered an enemies to lovers, family, forced proximity, second chance romance with a touch of suspense, and the cutest pet duo. This may well be my favorite Shalvis book yet!
Dr. Alaska by Jillian David
I was sent an ARC of Dr. Alaska by Jillian David and the tagline of Grey’s Anatomy meets Northern Exposure intrigued me. It’s a story of escaping one’s past, finding yourself and trusting again, all set against the backdrop of the Yukon Valley in Alaska. Cute sled dogs, suspense and medical emergencies added to the romance, and I quickly lost myself in the story.
Shattering Dawn by Jayne Ann Krentz
Shattering Dawn by Jayne Ann Krentz is the third novel in The Lost Files series. I have been enjoying this suspenseful paranormal romance series. This story focuses on Amelia Rivers, a member of the Lost Night Files podcast team. When she suspects someone is stalking her, she turns to private investigator Gideon Sweetwater for help. Suspense, swoons and answers await readers.
Where the Creek Bends by Linda Lael Miller
I enjoy magical realism and timeslips, so I picked up Where The Creek Bends by Linda Lael Miller. Madison Bettencourt’s life has turned upside down, and she wonders what happened to the Bliss, her childhood friend whom everyone suspected was her imaginary friend. Readers will discover a romance new begins and questions answered in this women’s fiction timeslip.
