Night Shift: Broken Heroes by Evie James & Craig Richards book review

Night Shift is an enticing medical romance that intertwines suspense with a dash of mafia intrigue. At its core is Atticus Thorin, a brooding senior ER doctor nearing 40 and grappling with burnout. His reputation for being an icy authoritarian doesn't deter the spirited young nurse, Samantha Sheridan, who brings a fiery wit to the department. Their initial clash leads to a magnetic connection, igniting both tension and desire. As Atticus attempts to maintain the unbreakable walls around his scarred heart, Samantha's sassy demeanor challenges his emotional detachment. 

The stakes rise when Samantha's safety is jeopardized by the man who should have protected her, pulling Atticus into a deep-seated need to rescue her from the looming danger. This unexpected twist reveals layers of both characters, who are haunted by their pasts—Samantha by her father's sins and Atticus by his emotional scars. This age-gap romance captures the journey of healing and trust. Atticus and Samantha's relationship is fraught with challenges as they learn to lower their defenses and embrace vulnerability. The chemistry between them is palpable, enhanced by steamy encounters that will leave readers breathless. The medical backdrop is more than just a setting; it's a vital component of the narrative. It's an enjoyable escape into a world where love blossoms amidst chaos, making it a perfect pick for fans of spicy, age-gap romances. Highly recommended for those curious about the unexpected blend of medical and mafia themes!

Her Knight at the Museum by Bryn Donovan book review

Her Knight at the Museum is a charming and unique blend of romance and historical fantasy that was just a really fun read. The story revolves around Emily Porter, a recently divorced conservator at the Art Institute of Chicago, who is tasked with restoring a statue of a medieval knight, Sir Griffin de Beauford. When an unexpected kiss breaks the centuries-old curse binding Griffin to stone, he is brought to life, leading to a hilarious and heartwarming clash of eras. Donovan's witty writing seamlessly balances humor with the challenges of their unusual relationship, making for an entertaining read. 

This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys whimsical romances that blend historical elements with contemporary humor. The delightful dynamic between Emily and Griffin offers a romantic take on love that transcends time, while the comedic scenarios arising from Griffin's bewilderment in the modern world will have you laughing out loud. Donovan's engaging character development and playful dialogue create a vivid escape into a world where magic and romance coexist. I highly recommend Her Knight at the Museum to fans of romantic fantasy and time-travel romances.  This book is a perfect weekend escape.
