A few months ago, I finally tried Single Malt by Layla Reyne. It’s the first of the m/m Irish & Whiskey series. It came very highly recommended by literally everyone who read it, which immediately made me so suspicious that I put off picking it up for ages. Why am I like this? Except it

The Little White Horse Unicorn Cake
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge is a historical fantasy young adult or possibly children’s romance. But since it was published in 1946, you’ll probably never see it reviewed that way. It tells the story of a thirteen-year-old girl named Maria who is orphaned and sent to live with an uncle in the village

Beyond Possession Whiskey-Pecan Cake
Beyond Possession is the latest novella in Kit Rocha’s apocalyptic, dystopian erotic romance series about the bootlegging O’Kane gang. If you haven’t read any of the series, I can’t recommend that you start with this one, although I’d argue that it’s the easiest book thus far in a series that pushes boundaries in nearly every
Queer Romance Month Rainbow Cake
Thanks to a new reader, I found out that October is Queer Romance Month. The kick-off was yesterday so you can go over to Joyfully Jay and read all about why queer romance is better than cats. Yes, those cats. The furry kind. It’s very funny. As a very new reader of queer romance myself,
The Chocolate Kiss Gâteau Lion d’Or
Laura Florand is one of those exceedingly reliable authors who always manages to write a book that I know I will adore. I’ve only read three of hers thus far (I’m rationing them), but each one has been utterly charming and full of amazing culinary inspiration. The Chocolate Kiss is no exception. It takes place
