I’ve been glomming the Realm Enforcers series by Rebecca Zanetti this week. I’m reading the fifth and final book which is Wicked Bite.
I’m listening to Getting Real by Emma Chase.

I ended up DNF’s Little Fire by Hollee Mands. It was slow going, but I was determined to push through until the heroine had a temper tantrum, complete with name-calling and shin-kicking (not an exaggeration). That was kind of the final straw for me. Aside from that I haven’t had a lot of reading time. I’ve been skim-reading some old favorites, but that’s about it. Hopefully I’ll have some reading time during the holiday break.
It’s been a busy week, but I’ve managed some reading.
— Hitting the Wall: A Stonecut County Romance by Cate C. Wells.
I enjoyed this full length contemporary romance.

The following are all shorter works which I enjoyed ~
— A Lovely Drop: A Story of the NeverNeath by Darynda Jones… Contemporary paranormal male/female romance
— One Bed for Christmas: A Baldwin Village Novella by Jackie Lau… Contemporary male/female romance
— Lost Along the Way (Tales of the Curious Cookbook Book 3) by Marie Sexton… Contemporary male/male romance
— Christmas Angel (The Christmas Angel Book 1) by Eli Easton… Historical male/male romance
— In Case of Emergency by Keira Andrews… Contemporary male/male romance
I just finished Eve Dangerfield’s RETURN ALL. It’s the second book in her Rebirth series (also the second romance she’s published since she returned from romance-writing hiatus/retirement). It’s a second-chance romance between a football player (he’s the friend/teammate/housemate of the hero of Dangerfield’s earlier BEGIN AGAIN, AGAIN) and the woman he loved a decade ago—she now runs a non-profit that builds and provides affordable housing to the economically-disadvantaged. As in Dangerfield’s ACT YOUR AGE, there is an element of Daddy kink in the couple’s dynamic, but it’s all fully consensual. I thought RETURN ALL was a bit more downbeat and a bit less humorous than Dangerfield usually is, but I still enjoyed it.
I’m now reading Maisey Yates’s CLAIMING THE RANCHER’S HEIR, a very good antagonists-to-lovers/unplanned pregnancy romance between rival winery owners.
