JXR's Review: Annie Knows Everything

Annie Knows Everything by Rachel Wood

Publisher: The Dial Press (April 7th, 2026)

Genre: Contemporary Romance (MF)

 

Annie thinks she knows what’s best for everyone. But when her life goes sideways, the inner workings of her own heart become a total mystery—can she stumble her way to happily ever after?

“This is the tech-world romance I didn’t know I was craving. Crisply written, smart, and full of unique, quirky characters, this is a truly joyful and healing love story. I give it five big stars.”—Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script

After getting let go from her job and learning her sister is engaged to the worst man alive, Annie needs a win. Filling the open role in her company's data strategy team is just what the doctor ordered. So what if she doesn't know how to write code? How hard can it be? Surely Connor—the team's overworked, aggravating, and distractingly hot interim head—will soon realize how capable Annie is.

Annie sets her sights on landing this new job, even if that means ignoring the chemistry building between her and her new boss, and she tries to (gently!) convince her sister to reconsider her engagement. But with sparks flying at work and at home, she begins to see how complicated taking matters into her own hands can be. Maybe, just maybe, Annie doesn't actually know everything.

JXR's Review: A Widow's Charm

A Widow's Charm by Caitlyn Paxson

Publisher: Del Rey (March 31st, 2026)

Genre: Fantasy Romance (MF)

 

In this witty fantasy romance, a widow attempts to resurrect her dead husband by blackmailing her rakish necromancer neighbor—only to find herself falling for him instead.

“Witty, whimsical, and deeply kind, A Widow’s Charm is beyond charming—it’s wholly enchanting.”—Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Everlasting

Lady Hildegarde Croft is accustomed to changes in position. After all, she rose from maidservant to lady of the manor when she married Lord Thorgoode Croft. But when he dies unexpectedly, the plans that would have protected her and the people of Croftholde die along with him. What’s a widow to do?

Potential salvation arrives in the form of Lord Elmwood, who is fleeing the consequences of using his forbidden Charm to raise the dead. Now he’s injured, destitute, and hiding out at the neighboring estate.

For Hilde, blackmailing Lord Elmwood to resurrect Thorgoode seems like the perfect solution. For Elmwood, beautiful Lady Croft seems like the ideal distraction from his troubles. The problem is, all she wants from him is the horrifying power he knows he can never use again.

JXR's Review: Love at First Bite

Love at First Bite by Katherine Dyson

Publisher: One More Chapter (April 3rd, 2026)

Genre: Paranormal Romance (MF)

 

Funny, romantic and a little bit wicked, this is Mhairi McFarlane… with vampires!

I mean hey, what’s the worst that could happen? Ok fine, the worst that could happen is that I didn’t imagine those fangs after all…

Squeaky clean good girl Lucy Partridge is a sucker for heartwarming tales and happy endings. So a weekend reporting on the Whitby Goth Weekend is well outside her comfort zone. As is sharing her tiny annexe accommodation with all six feet three inches of bad boy bar owner Liam Bramwell. And that’s before she discovers that he’s an actual living – or, er, ‘undead’ – vampire!

Logically, Lucy knows she should run the other way, but the reporter in her can tell there’s more to Bram than his fangs. It’s clearly time for this good girl to take a walk on the dark side, and if that path leads her straight into Bram’s muscular tattooed arms? Well, a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do…
