I looked through two lists of over 100 romances coming out in 2019 and picked out the books I was most excited about. If you’re interested in hearing about how that fits into my no book buying year, check out my latest video. If you’re just here for the books, keep reading! An Unconditional Freedom
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
Wanted, A Gentleman is new territory for one of my favorite authors, KJ Charles. I think it’s her first Georgian romance and it’s her first that I’ve read with a man of color in the lead role, though I believe her next release in February also has a character of color, a trend I’m encouraged

I had intended to read The Sleeping Night by Barbara Samuel, but I completely forgot about the deadline (note to self: add a one week reminder to my TBR Challenge calendar). But Misfits by Garrett Leigh, the book I’m reviewing today, also qualifies.
All I Am by Nicole Helm had all the things I like: two bakers falling in love, a virgin hero, A+ groveling and a bunch of furry characters. Aside from my obvious love for old Harlequins (like, from the 1970s), I really haven’t read that many current ones. But Nicole Helm has had this farmers’
Elisabeth here. Today I’m pleased to welcome queer romance writer Roan Parrish to Cooking Up Romance. I don’t have a lot of guest posters, but Roan takes such great foodie Instagram pictures and there’s so much food in her current release, In the Middle of Somewhere, that I just had to ask her to make
