A fresh look at the politics of high society from an outsiders perspective.

Delightful crime caper with a wide ensemble cast of non-criminals who need to rob a powerful man under the guise of a mafia wedding to clear one of their names.
A YA coming of age novel set in NZ. Charlie Cooper has enough to deal with - her anxious mother, her self-esteem, and her ongoing competition with her former friend Paisley Peters - without the earth shaking things up.
Delightful historical romp featuring pirates, witches, assassination plots, and two neurodivergent spies falling stoically in love with one another.
A Kiwi take on cowboy romance that hit the spot!
Gripping and thought-provoking story about life, power, ability, faith, and science. Use of timelines and human fallacy effectively used to draw readers in.
An absolute joy of a book! Sarah Brenton writes some of the freshest romance around right now and I loved this small town story between money-laundering escort Clay and rockabilly bar owner Lou.
Adorable novella in the Unravelling Monsters series. So great to see an older couple experiencing new love!
A second chance romance between a high school couple following infidelity.

Heartfelt romance with a second chance element.
Great book. Hilarious banter.
Really enjoyed this creative romance set against a backdrop of birdwatching.
Sweet and steamy NZ cowboy romance with a strong female lead and lovely found family element.
Banger book.
A heartwarming romance about the vulnerability involved on opening yourself up to love. Well rounded characters, including secondary, and plenty of snappy banter!
This was a re-read for me, and it was better than I remembered it being. Maybe a bit rushed at the end, but funny and sweet.
Unhinged. I loved it.
A charming tale detailing the rivalry and more of two booksellers in a small English village. Tons of small-town charm, witty and poignant with an almost dual narrative point as they investigate their own great-grandparents relationship while coming to term with their own.
Probably more of a 3.5 - an instalove with some darker themes. Classic miscommunication trope which works well for these stories. The heroine's lack of self worth didn't engage me as a reader.
An absolute delight! Clever, witty, tender and a rollicking good time, set against a backdrop of magical piracy.
I enjoyed this book, as I enjoy all of Ali's books, but it wasn't my favourite of hers. Maya was understandably immature but it grated, and Conor was too busy hating himself to listen. Loved the structure and enjoyed the premise but the characters left me frustrated even at the end.
HISTORICAL AMNESIA WITH A MAN WHO FORGETS TO BE CONTROLLED AND STANDOFFISH WITH HIS TOP-TIER WIFE???? Love. Adore. Beautifully heartfelt and relatable while being a rambunctious romp through the streets of past London. BRB, going to look up Titian's Venus of Urbino.
A beautifully written workmates to lovers Christmas story. Characterisation was a strength, especially with the novella format, and beautiful prose!
This book was glorious. It was unhinged, in the very best way. Kimberly Lemming is the queen of interspecies deadpan flirting, and I love it.
A sweet and steamy read full of Christmas magic! It pulled at my heartstrings. A warm hug of a book!
A fun second chance romance with Australian characters set in the USA.
A funny, tender, and steamy second-chance romance full of small-town charm. A gorgeous Christmas read.
