Perfect (Mis)Match (Manhattan Bossholes Book 1) by Leslie North Narrated by Abigail Reno , Christopher Ashman


 

A Grumpy Sunshine Billionaire Boss Romance 


Some people get meet-cutes. I get a meet-crash.
When Vincent Forde rear-ends my car, I expect an apology—instead he tosses me a scowl that could melt steel and acts like I’m the problem.
Charming, right?

With his designer suit, smoldering glare, and ego the size of his bank account, Vincent is the very definition of an entitled bosshole.
I figure that’s the last I’ll ever see of Mr. Too-Rich-and-Ridiculously-Handsome.

Except life loves a good punchline.

Guess who struts into my brother’s engagement party like he owns the place?
Yeah, it’s Mr. I’m-Too-Sexy-To-Drive-Properly, lounging by the bar like he’s posing for GQ.
I think I hate him.

Only now, there’s something he wants from me.
There’s a rare perfume ingredient he desperately needs for his fragrance empire.
And Lord of the Scowl is willing to pay me ridiculous money to help get it.

Oh, and he also wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend.
As if there’s anything remotely boyfriend-material about him.
Vincent might be the king of the scowl and a walking ego trip, but he’s offering me a deal I can’t refuse.

Even if it means pretending to like the guy who drives me insane.
The more we fake it, though, the more the line between acting and real starts to blur. His charm is aggravating. His confidence is infuriating. His smile is entirely too distracting.

This wasn’t part of the plan. I’m supposed to hate him, not want him. But pretending to be his perfect match is starting to feel all too real...

Perfect (Mis)Match is a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance packed with sharp banter, fiery chemistry, and all your favorite tropes: billionaire bosshole, fake relationship, and brother’s best friend. With a grumpy, guarded hero and a heroine who’s more than ready to knock him down a peg, get ready for the perfect storm of wit, tension, and heart-stopping twists.
Perfect Mismatch is a fun and engaging read that blends humour, sizzling chemistry, and heartwarming moments. The classic romance tropes of grumpy sunshine, billionaire boss, enemies-to-lovers, and fake relationship made this a delightful escapist read.
I was instantly smitten by Piper and Vincent when they crashed into each other while parking and ended up bickering over it. Vincent came across as a rich, entitled jerk, and I couldn't wait for Piper to straighten him out.
There was a wonderful side cast of characters, and Piper and Vincent's relationships with their friends and family was heartwarming. I had more sympathy for both characters after learning how they had been influenced growing up.
Perfect Mismatch has a satisfying character arc. Vincent and Piper undergo significant personal growth throughout the story. Vincent completely changes his way of thinking about love and marriage. Piper learns to stand up for herself and see her own worth in relationships. I got great satisfaction in seeing her deal with her ex-boyfriend towards the end of the book.
Overall, this was a sweet and funny romantic comedy. I loved the dual narration, although I prefer it when the male narrator performs the male lead for the entire book rather than a chapter about.

Death at Darrington Manor (An Abigail Dixon Mystery, Book 2) by Nancy Warren Narrated by Katie Beudert

 


When intrepid reporter Abigail Dixon swaps Paris for an English manor to cover the wedding of the year, she expects afternoon tea on the lawn and cocktails in the drawing room, not a man lying dead in a stream and a woman strangled by her own silk stockings.

Spring 1925. Abigail Dixon arrives in Somerset to report on the high-society wedding of an American car tycoon’s son and an English aristocrat’s daughter. But when a man is murdered on a trout-fishing expedition, and the quaint village abuzz with gossip of a local woman discovered dead in London, Abigail quickly finds herself entangled in a web of murder and scandal.

As she investigates, Abigail unearths some dark secrets lurking within Darrington Manor and clues linking the two murders. From the lovelorn estate manager to a tight-lipped butler and local mechanic with an axe to grind, everyone is a possible suspect.

Determined to expose the culprit, and with danger lurking at every turn, can Abigail unveil the truth before the ‘wedding of the year’ becomes the obituary column?

Fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey will devour this page-turning 1920s whodunit brimming with twists, red herrings, and charming period detail.


A 1920's society wedding becomes a hotbed of scandal and murder in the second instalment of the Abigail Dixon Mysteries. Abigail has swapped Paris for London to cover the wedding thinking it will be a simple little puff piece and not worth her time. However things take an unexpected turn when a man is murdered and a local woman is found dead in London.

I love how Abigail can't help but investigate and turn her puff piece into front page news.
This is a very cleverly plotted out murder mystery and I found it intriguing and difficult to put down. The suspense built steadily all the way to the end. Listening to the audiobook enhanced my enjoyment as the characters really came to life.
I love the historical backdrop of the story. I'm unable to resist a 1920s set mystery and the ambiance of the period blended with a compelling mystery ticked the boxes for me.
The strong likeable characters, the touch of humour and romance and the well paced narrative ensured me of an enteraining read.

Death at Darringtom manor can be read as a standalone but you'll be missing out on some of Abigail's backstory if you skip Murder at the Paris Fashion House.

Searching for Justice (Redwood Coast Rescue Book 3) by Tonya Burrows Narrated by Stephen Borne


 He’s a grumpy lawman who lives by the book.


Sheriff Ash Rawlings values order and structure above all else. He doesn’t have time for distractions, especially not now, since his new K9 partner, Dante, has a nose for trouble. But when the vivacious and rebellious Rose Galasso bursts back into his life, challenging his every move, he finds himself both irritated and captivated. She’s wild, unpredictable, and dangerously attractive.

She’s a free spirit who doesn’t play by the rules.

The last person Rose wants to be tangled up with is the uptight sheriff who ruined her life, and their intense dislike for each other is evident to anyone within earshot. But when a wildfire uncovers a woman’s body, they’re drawn together by the cold case that has haunted them both for years. And when Rose’s ties to the victim put her in a killer's crosshairs, Ash and Dante have their work cut out for them to keep her safe.

They're enemies with a common goal: justice.

As the threat escalates, Ash and Rose must face their turbulent history if they want to survive. But can they learn to trust the enemy before it’s too late?

Searching for Justice is the third book in the Redwood Coast Rescue romantic suspense series by Tonya Burrows, but can be read as a standalone. If you crave an electrifying enemies-to-lovers romance with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this gripping adventure is a must-read.


A steamy enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense in the third instalment of the Redwood Coast Rescue series.
It wouldn't be a day well spent for Ash and Rose if they didn't find time to wind each other up.
Ash is a grumpy, by-the-book lawman with hidden depths who delights in threatening Rose with shutting down her pub. Rose is feisty and independent and takes no nonsense from Ash, giving as good as she gets.
When Ash finds Rose after her kidnapping, he is compelled to stay with her and help her recover and find those responsible. The development of their relationship from animosity to love is a central and enjoyable aspect of the book for me. Their backstory explains why Rose dislikes Ash so much and why they have the relationship they do.
This is quite an emotional story as it involves the historical murder of Rose's mother and the impact that had on her growing up. The loss of a mother and father practically overnight had a long-reaching impact on her.
I liked all the secondary characters, but particularly loved how the locals in the support group took her under their wing when she was struggling to cope with the trauma of her abduction.
The story has many twists and turns that kept my interest piqued and I was completely taken aback by how the story unravelled in the end. I thought I had it all figured out until the author pulled the rug right under me. A great read all the way through.

Excellent narration, easy to listen and get lost in the story.

A Legend in the Baking (Sugar Blitz #2) by Jamie Wesley

 


After accidentally going viral on social media, a cupcake-baking football player gets assistance from a social media maven—and his best friend's little sister—to help promote his new bakery.

August Hodges was supposed to be the silent partner in Sugar Blitz Cupcakes. Emphasis on silent. That is until his impromptu feminist rant about how women bakers are the backbone of the industry and baking cupcakes isn’t a threat to masculinity goes viral, making him the hottest bachelor in town. With a new location in the works, August and his partners decide to capitalize on this perfect opportunity to help cement their place in the community. But the hiring of his best friend’s younger sister, the woman who has haunted some of his best dreams for years, was as much of a shock as his new-found fame.

Social media manager Sloane Dell fell hard for her brother’s best friend the moment she met him more than a decade ago, but that teenage infatuation cost her dearly. Still, she accepts her brother’s request to revamp the bakery’s social media presence to take advantage of August’s newfound popularity, knowing it’s the big break her fledgling career needs. She’ll just ignore the fact that August is still August, i.e. sexier and sweeter than any man has a right to be. And that he drives her crazy with his resistance to all her ideas.

They vow to leave the past in the past. But when an explosive make-out session makes it clear their attraction burns hotter than ever, Sloane and August are forced to reconsider what it means to take a risk and chase your dreams.

As they’re both about to find out, all’s fair in love and cupcakes.


A Legend in the Baking is a cute and charming second-chance romance with plenty of warmth and sweetness. Jamie Wesley delivers a delightful story about a former football player turned baker and his best friend's sister, a social media manager. Sloane and August had a close friendship when they were younger, spending a lot of time talking late at night on the phone.  I didn't like that he encouraged this when he had a girlfriend, and it was inevitable that Sloane's feelings would get hurt. Fast forward some years, divorced and faced with the prospect of working closely with Sloane as she is in charge of the social media campaign for the cupcake shop.
I liked how he jumped right in to complete all the social media tasks even though it made him very uncomfortable and he made the effort to support Sloane despite her initial lukewarm response to him.
The chemistry and personal growth of the main characters make this an enjoyable read, especially if you love a slow burn with a happy ending. Plus, who can resist a romance centred around a cupcake bakery?

Taken to the Grave (Bow Street Duchess Mystery Book 7) by Cara Devlin

 


The Bow Street Duchess Mystery series comes to a thrilling conclusion in the seventh and final book, Taken to the Grave.

As Audrey Sinclair reaches the end of her mourning period, she and Hugh Marsden, the Viscount Neatham, are at long last looking toward their future together — and hoping for a respite from the dangerous criminal investigations they’ve found themselves entrenched in.

However, when the niece of Bow Street’s chief magistrate Sir Gabriel Poston goes missing, and Audrey and Hugh link her disappearance to a stirring public panic over suspicious deaths at the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, they agree to one final inquiry...


I am sad that this is Audrey and Hugh's final investigation, but I am excited to read Cassie and Thornton's story next and the new Spencer and Reid series.
Taken to the Grave gives a satisfying and thrilling conclusion to the Bow Street Duchess Mystery series. I have enjoyed every single book and recommend reading them in order rather than as standalone.
Taken to the Grave is slightly darker than usual and has a compelling mystery linked to a secret society. 
Audrey and Hugh are also busy making plans for their future, and it is nice to see all those little details, such as where they'll live, take shape. The epilogue gives a glimpse into their happy future. 
 This final instalment delivers the expected intrigue and romance that fans of the series will enjoy. It's a fitting end, wrapping up the series nicely while still providing a gripping read.

Mahina (A Hawaiian Mafia Romance Book 1) by Nalani Titcomb

 


Two families – One follows the letter of the law, and the other… doesn’t. But somehow, they’ve made it work. Neighbors and friends. Bound by past generations of honor, trust, and even love.
~~~
As children, Mahina Tillman and Zeb Lehua were inseparable. Zeb was a protector. Her protector. Her best friend.
But then one day, he wasn’t.

Mahina had loved Zeb more than she ever thought was possible. But when he left, she was forced to move on with her life. And she did.

But now he’s back and things are… complicated.

Zeb walked away from Mahina, but she’d never been far from his thoughts. Or his heart. He’s finally returned home—after being gone for nearly two decades—and things aren’t always what they seem.

What do you do when the love of your life has moved on?

What happens if she needs you, when there’s literally no one else she can turn to?

Zeb Lehua would burn the world down for Mahina Tillman. And this is only the beginning.

~~

Mahina is the first book in the Hawaiian Mafia Romance series and ends on a cliffhanger. The books should be read in order for the best experience. All books are full length novels.

Mahina is predominantly a family drama about a marriage breakdown that spirals into domestic abuse. The slow-burn romance between Mahina and Zeb is the simmering undercurrent running through the story. I liked the dual point of view as it gave some insight into their relationship, but I felt that either their backstory or their renewed friendship could have been developed more.
My favourite relationship in this book is the one between Mahina and her son Ben, who is growing up to be a fine and respectful young man despite having a father who practically ignores him. I liked how Zeb and Ben interacted and bonded through surfing, developing their own friendship independent of Mahina.
There were a few instances when Mahina annoyed me a little. She made a couple of risky decisions, putting her in precarious situations.
The book is labelled as a mafia romance, but it is surprisingly light on mafia-related activities, concentrating instead on Mahina's family life. The twist at the end was a nice touch, making the story end on a cliffhanger and intriguing me enough to want to find out what happens next.

The Last Raven by Helen Glynn Jones narrated by Jane Fox

 


 




Description

I’ll be forced to take the crown, simply because of who my parents are. Never mind that my skin, my eyes, the way I move, everything will give me away for what I am.

Human.

In a world ruled by vampires.

As sole heir to the House of Raven, there is nothing Emelia can’t have. The only problem is, she doesn’t want it.

But when the mysterious Kyle enters her closed-off existence, she sees a way out. As rebellion and dark forces swirl around her, Emelia has a choice to make – leave everyone she loves behind, or stay and accept her destiny…

The Last Raven is a vampire romance novel set in a world where vampires rule, and humans are oppressed and regarded simply as food. The story follows Emelia Raven, a human girl born to vampire parents, destined to inherit their powerful house.
Emelia is kept in isolation to protect her until she comes of age. When a new guard, Kyle, enters her life, she begins to see a potential escape from her predetermined path. They both find each other quite annoying initially, and I wasn't sure how trustworthy Kyle was to begin with.
He teaches the naive Emilia about the realities of the world and how humans are being treated. there is talk of rebellion and she is torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for Kyle, and her desire for change.
This supernatural/vampire story has forbidden romance, political intrigue, and surprising plot twists that will appeal to those who are fans of the genre. This book is part of a series, so any unanswered questions readers have should be addressed in subsequent titles. I found that the ending made me want to read the next book to find out what happens next.
I enjoyed the audio narration of this book and felt that the narrator did an excellent job of performing the different types of characters and the emotions they were feeling.


The Kindle copy of this book is currently priced £1.08 on Amazon UK

Murder at Mill Ponds House: (The Iris Woodmore Mysteries Book 6) by Michelle Salter (2025)

 





Murder at Mill Ponds House
When murder hits close to home, Iris must fight to clear her name.
...
Spring, 1924.
Reporter Iris Woodmore plans to move to London to avoid a shocking hometown
scandal. Longtime enemy Archie Powell has been threatening to reveal her darkest secret
and she’s desperate to flee before he does.
But when he’s found murdered after a violent argument with her, there’s no escape. Iris must stay and clear her name even though the truth could ruin her reputation.
With the police closing in, Iris has to find the real killer if she’s to keep her secret. Can she prove her innocence without revealing the identity of the one man who can provide her with an alibi?

A gripping new mystery for fans of Verity Bright, Clara McKenna, and Helena Dixon.


Murder at Mill Pond's House is the sixth in the Iris Woodmore series. Set in Hampshire in 1924, Iris finds herself identified as the main suspect in the murder of her longtime enemy, Archie Powell.
The plot and series, in general, are so well plotted that I never know what's going to happen next. The identity of the killer had me guessing all the way through, and I didn't figure it out until the end.
Iris is a very unconventional heroine with an unconventional love life. I would need a crystal ball to figure out which male character I should be rooting for, although Percy is such a dote. It would be nice to have a proper romantic thread running through the series, even if it takes Iris some time to unwind it. 
Murder at Mill Pond's House is a class whodunit with a recurring cast of characters. I recommend you read the previous books to avoid any confusion and to get to know these wonderful characters better.

Author Bio
All my books are classic murder mysteries because golden age whodunnits are the stories I enjoy reading most.
I love to create memorable characters and devise intriguing plots with a focus on mystery rather than violence.
I live in Hampshire, England, and it’s the setting for many of my books. My standalone novel, Murder at Merewood Hospital, features Sister Helen Hopgood, the last nurse left in a military hospital in Hampshire at the end of the First World War.
I also have family connections to Devon, and the fourth Iris Woodmore Mystery, A Killing at Smugglers Cove, is set on the south coast of Devon in 1923. Iris is back in her native Hampshire for A Corpse in Christmas Close, set in Winchester over Christmas 1923, and Murder at Mill Ponds House, which begins on 1st May 1924.
You can read all of my books as standalone novels, even the Iris Woodmore Mysteries, as each is a separate story, although the characters develop as the series progresses.
I hope you enjoy reading or listening to my books.

A Scottish Island Summer by Julie Shackman (Blog Tour)

 


                                                A Scottish Island Summer
When ambitious city girl,  Darcie Freeman is sent to the Isle of Skye to conduct research for a travel guide, she’s horrified. The prospect of having to travel to a remote island in the Scottish Highlands leaves her wondering what she’ll do. Step in Logan Burns . Gorgeous and adventurous, he lives and breathes the island, and along with his sister Iona, who owns a rather haphazard PR company, they’re going to show Darcie everything she needs to know about Skye.
As Darcie swaps her designer shoes for her walking boots and her faux fur jacket for her raincoat, will she learn there’s more to life than the picture - perfect presence she shares on social media, or will it be the case that Skye is the limit..

Another gorgeous story from Julie Shackman. This heartwarming romance left me wanting to visit the Isle of Skye. With its historical importance and beautiful landscape it seems like an idyllic setting. To Darcie, it may as well be the back end of nowhere. Her social-media-obsessed and designer lifestyle doesn't exactly scream remote and rugged Highlands. Darcie's high-maintenance attitude made her appear shallow and split but I came to like her as her appreciation of the people and the area developed as the story progressed.
Logan Burns, a local geologist with a deep love for his island home is tasked with being Darcie's guide, and their initial interactions are filled with friction.
I enjoyed their humorous journey from enemies-to-friends-to-lovers. The unexpected mystery was the icing on the cake for me as romantic mysteries are my favourite genre.

It's an invitation Steph can't refuse when she's handpicked to compete at the prestigious National Trust property Coleton Fishacre. With the country's top garden designers as rivals and a stunning historic estate for inspiration, it feels like a dream come true.

But things quickly turn thorny when the youngest competitor falls mysteriously ill and Steph suspects foul play. Her fears are confirmed when a scream echoes through the gardens, leading her to the horrific sight of a dead body at the foot of the cliff.

Being the third book in the Gardener Mysteries, 'Murder in Bloom' has cemented the series as a firm favourite of mine.
Steph is a wonderful character with an interesting and varied job that brings her into social sphere of lots of different people. In this instalment she is taking part in a prestigious gardening competition with all the rivalry and tensions that entails.

I enjoyed the witty banter and the touch of romance. Both aspects lighten the tone of the book and propel the story forward.
The vivid descriptions of the gardens and the competition bring the story to life, making it easy for me to immerse myself in the world of horticulture. The mystery itself is cleverly plotted, with red herrings and unexpected twists that kept me guessing until the very end.

Murder in Bloom" is a perfect escape for fans of cozy mysteries and gardening enthusiasts alike. It's a lighthearted and entertaining read that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied.
A well deserved five stars and a thumbs up from me.

Dashiki: A Cozy Mystery by Florence Wetzel

 



Dashiki: A Cozy Mystery

A cozy mystery with a dash of romance set in the vibrant world of jazz.

During an interview with reclusive jazz singer Betty Brown, journalist Virginia Farrell is shown priceless tapes from the iconic 1957 Thelonious Monk-John Coltrane gig at the Five Spot. When Betty is found murdered, Virginia is determined to recover the tapes and uncover the truth behind Betty’s death.

In the spirit of Nancy Drew, Virginia teams up with her six-foot blonde roommate to investigate the various suspects. Detective Robert Smith from the Hoboken Police Department joins the case, quickly becoming absorbed by an unsolved murder possibly linked to Betty Brown’s death, as well as an undeniable attraction to Virginia.

Dashiki is a cozy mystery laced with romance, immersing readers in the captivating world of jazz, where musicians, journalists, scholars, and enthusiasts intersect in an entertaining whodunit.


As a fan of romantic cozy mysteries I was delighted for the opportunity to read Dashiki by a new to me author, Florence Wetzel. Not only was this novel a fun and engaging read but it transported me to the New York Jazz scene of which I am completely unfamiliar with. The mystery is woven into jazz history and culture. I found it easy to imagine the music, the streets and bakeries mentioned in the story.  The characters are very engaging with charmingly witty dialogue. My favourite character was Detective Robert Smith, who added depth and humour to the story.
The mystery itself was quite clever and had me guessing right up until the end.
A very pleasant and enjoyable mystery

Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen (BlogTour)

 


Best Mistake Ever
Some mistakes are worth making
Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, and get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought. Not only does he have impossibly high standards, he’s also out of this world gorgeous, an ex-rockstar with a chip on his shoulder and he's watching her like a hawk! So Bea uses her charm to keep him focussed on the job and not her. But by trying to put up boundaries and keep things professional, Bea finds herself seeing the real man beneath the grumpy façade . Yet with so much at stake, she knows she shouldn’t fall for her sisters boss...but then again, it may just be the best unintentional mistake she’s ever made!





Best Mistake Ever is such a delightfully funny romantic comedy. The story follows Beatrice Donovan, who steps in for her identical twin sister Delilah to manage a struggling hotel.

The secret identity trope is a lot of fun with all the misunderstandings that twin-swapping creates and I was on tenterhooks waiting for Bea to be rumbled.

Bea quickly finds herself entangled in a winding web of chaos, including a grumpy but undeniably attractive boss, Jonah. Their initial interactions are a hilarious clash of personalities, but as they navigate the challenges of revitalizing the hotel, a surprising connection begins to form. Jonah has a hard shell, but Bea manages to get under his skin and expose his vulnerable and charming side. The slow-burn aspect of their romance made it more endearing to me. 
This lighthearted and swoon-worthy romance will leave you all warm and fuzzy.
