It’s All Geek to Me by J. L. Merrow (4 Stars)

Enjoyable, sweet romance with the focus on how long a person can carry on in a relationship that started based on a false premise.  I’m not a fan of stories with trust issues, but this was such a light-hearted one, with Jez lying about his love of comics, that it didn’t feel like a big deal to me. It was hard listening to Jez put himself down so often, but Rhys did a great job trying to build up his self-esteem.

Paradox Lost by Libby Drew (5 Stars)

I loved this time travel romance with just the right mix of character development, world building, and action.  The instant love worked for me, since the characters were both strong, sexy, and lonely but also very particular about what they wanted. There were just enough details about the future to make it interesting and realistic without turning it into a manual. The author did a great job of taking examples from today and extrapolating on them. The action scenes were also exciting and easy to follow.

Changes Coming Down (Anthology: Hunting Under Covers) by Kaje Harper (5 Stars)

A beautiful romance about three people already in a pretty solid relationship. I enjoyed the glimpses into how they met and how their connection grew. I liked the different aspects of the story including the mystery surrounding the death of the elderly couple.  It was wonderful how they were always there for each other. I was on the edge of my seat for a good part of the story, because I had no idea where the author was taking their relationship. Fortunately, she never failed to impress me with the different issues she brought to the table.

Incursion by Aleksandr Voinov (4.5 Stars)

Impressive sci-fi adventure with romantic undertones. Told from Kyle’s POV, the author did a great job conveying the different emotions he was experiencing throughout the story. Whether it was the phantom pain after losing his legs, the question about who he could trust, or the experience of space travel, I felt like I was with him the entire time. Some of the medical treatments made me a little queasy.
