The best meet cute is always when one insults the other!! 

They are both charming men who are stubbornly holding to an ideology (for very good reasons) that would benefit from a bit of a different lens. And thankfully they help each other expand their world view.

Their story is full of fun moments, tender support, lots of music and a mutual love for a very sweet young girl.

I enjoyed this one immensely.

If you’ve read the Rebel Kings MC series than you have to read/listen to this.  It’s snippets of different characters that provide insight into our beloved MC family, a chance to be reminded how much we love them, and why.  There are fun moments and sweet moments that prove their bond to their romantic partners and their friends/family. 

My favourite is Alexei’s visit to his cousin's boyfriend. It’s an embodiment of how much I adore our Russian and how much he loves even if it’s not shown in a ‘normal’ way. He’s such a fantastic character.

I highly recommend the audiobook version. Narrator Dan Calley is perfection in his ability to bring to life our men and woman. 

 

Adele and Kash have a seriously beautiful and touching story.  I mean they are idiots - pining for 20 years without telling each other, making themselves miserable in the process, but even still, it’s everything you could want from a story, especially an EM Lindsey story.

A few teary moments, a lot of laughs (Gage, Lucas, and Rex all steal my heart) and a whole lot of love.

Kash has been dealt a blow, but he has Adele to turn to, even if it takes him a while to really lean on him. What better way to find your way forward in a new life, than with your other half there to hold you up (sometimes literally)?

Adele never learned how to live for himself. Instead living for his son and holding on to his secret love for his best friend. It’s time he got the family he deserves.

A truly wonderful story that has my full heart.

 

Do you like your men to have some questionable morals? Like to wonder how they could possibly find a happy ending when an investigator falls in love with the very killer he’s chasing? 

M. Walker keeps us on edge almost to the end while also making us fall in love with both of them and desperately trying to figure out how they could possibly make it all work.  

Theo is an especially dark serial killer - but you understand him all the same. You should want to hate him…

Jace is a lovely guy, though a little lost. Searching for his new path in life after some devastating losses and struggling with some mental health issues. Finding love helps heal some hurts, while also bringing its own complications.

Thankfully these two find a way to have a future together and I believe it will be a happy one (and hopefully murder free!).

Nothing like a wedding to bring Aron and Paul back together.  Not gonna lie though, despite liking Paul I wanted him to grovel more!

Their pandemic hook-up ended with both men running as far from London as possible. But neither can refuse the call of Mrs W. & the Professors wedding. And she’s got a long list to keep them busy, and together.

I’m glad they found their way back together. It was the easiest of paths. Lots of hurt feelings and emotional struggles. But they make a great team.

We also get lots of Mrs. Wimpole who has truly won my heart over the series.

 

A collection of wonderful short stories with some wonderfully diverse pairings that will make swoon and fan yourself.

Some fake dating, some daddy’s, and some sweet men finding love. 

I enjoyed them all but I think Elliot and Noah are my favourites. Age gap, different worlds, but both equally strong personalities, they have to work for it a bit, but it’s definitely worth it in the end. They are definitely a strong match and you can’t help but cheer when it all works out.

Read them all at once or sprinkle them amongst other books.

 

Eeeee…such cuties. These two burgeoning bffs are pure and perfect.

I love the way their story twines together and the support and care they show for each other.  Leo is a wonderful guy, who is shy and uncomfortable in the world, but thanks to a few close friends, especially Finn, he finds his place in the world and the confidence to own his little corner of it.

Finn is a warm guy who despite not knowing he has an interest in men is always open and accepting.

Sometimes all you need is a little dare to get over your nerves and try something new.

It’s a wonderfully written story, the time flew by with lots of smiles and heart flutters.

 

This novella is pure perfection.

Chris is reeling from being forced on vacation, having lost the man he thought he loved, and now he’s visiting his free-spirited parents in Arizona. But he wasn’t prepared for Ivan crashing in and turning his heart upside down.

It’s a riot of story, full of two opposites, some wild child parents, a biker gang of seniors, and a case of illegal taxidermy.

It was a joy to read.

 

Audio listen:

Narrator Zachary Zaba does a wonderful job of bringing this story to life. He captures the characters and the spirit of the holiday season beautifully.

Original Review:

A really sweet holiday romance that could only have been blessed by the doves.

A chef trying to make a name for himself finds all his dreams are actually in this small town that Christmas adores.

Levi adores his life running a B&B with his dads and his town but it becomes something truly special when he finds a certain someone to do it all with.

These two are lovely and uplifting and make such a great addition to their community. They may not have been looking for it, but love was determined to find them.

 

A really fun and sweet holiday story with a cowboy looking for something of his own and a bookshop keeper who has lost too much in the month of December.

With a great setting, small town, bookshop, cowboy, quirky and loving townsfolk, this a lighthearted story that holds depth and thoughtfulness.

Moody is otherwise smiling cheery sort, until December when his mood plummets with the reminders that the season brings. It’s a known fact, one that the town folk have embraced.

But then in walks a cowboy (all my dreams start that way) and Moody’s best-laid plans get turned upside down. Hudson plays Moody like a fiddle, and before they know it…well they get their happy-ever-after.
