New Releases to Snuggle (under blankets or air-con)

It’s still rather cool here in Melbourne, but thankfully books don’t fuss with what’s happening outdoors (unless you get caught in a rain shower with said book… then they cry with you!). Reading is always an option. Always. 😉 Between juggling my daily commitments and writing, I’ve also enjoyed three new release novels by Elizabeth […]

Sports, Historical and Ranchin’ Romances

My littlies were unwell on and off over the last few weeks, so I’ve enjoyed a variety of fabulous books while I mothered/hugged them.

Contractors, Musicians and Royals… Oh My!

I’ve read a mix of women’s fiction, contemporary romance and princess-themed romance of late. And the swing of emotion has been rather extreme. A heartbreaking tale of one man’s parental rights battle, a royalty romcom which had me cackling throughout, and a slow-burn, grief-filled romance ensconced in the musical side of church ministry which brought […]
