Boss's Marriage Agenda

 Boss's Marriage Agenda

Annie West

Reviewed by Helen

Another fabulous story from Annie West, she does romance beautifully and this one is set mostly in Sydney, I loved getting to know Conall and Greer, theirs is a marriage that amnesia played a part in pulling them apart, can they find their way back to the love they shared before?

Greer is PA for her billionaire boss Conall and she knows she loves her job and that they get on really well but she really has a pull towards him and that should not be, should it? After an accident Greer has lost the memory of the last five months of her life, Conall has been there for her throughout her recovery, he has been fabulous but with her memory gone she is not sure how he feels about her there is a feeling that she cannot work out.

Conall would do anything to get his wife back as she was but the doctors have told him not to push to let it return naturally, if it does, he must keep his feelings to himself and that is really hard being so close to her at work, even if she has moved back to her apartment not knowing that they are married and what they had been through and not remembering the sensual times that they spent together.

This is truly such an awesome story, sensual, moving, both Greer and Conall are strong and caring characters that were very easy to get to know, I want a Conall, what a hero and Greer she deserved to be loved as Conall could do, I could feel their emotions flowing through the words and the setting is fabulous, thank you MS. West for another beautiful story, one that I highly recommend to any lover of a good romance, it left me smiling.

Stella Quinn has taken me back to one of my favourite towns Clarence and this time we see another of the Miles family find her HEA. Felicity is back in town renting a small cottage she has returned from Edinburgh a shadow of who she used to be thanks to a relationship with her ex-partner she has taken up a job at the local high school the one she attended, her days of travelling and writing travel guides is behind her and post-it-notes are the bane of her life, but life goes on and Felicity finds herself not only teaching her subject English but also science this should be fun.

Luke Simpson is a single dad to sixteen year old Jace and has become a bit of a helicopter parent since and accident nearly took Jace away from him, he has sold up his house in Wollongong and moved to the Simpson farm with his half-sister Sally, the farm is dilapidated and it also brings back some not so good memories for him about his father, Jace is not happy with him, but how can he not worry all of the time. Luke has taken a FIFO position in a gold mine he is an engineer and finding love is not on the agenda, but it seems that Sal and Jace have other ideas and when they meet the new teacher in town things move.

Felicity has been given the task of coaching the school tennis students and soon meets Sal and the Tennis ladies, Jace has chosen tennis for his sport instead of basketball this will throw a spanner in the works for his father and the tennis ladies put everything into pushing Luke and Felicity together.

This is such a fabulous story, I loved Felicity and Luke they so deserve to be happy and find love after all they have been through, Sal and Jace what fabulous characters, this is a fun and witty story that had me turning the pages I couldn’t get enough of this story and was sad to see it end and catching up with characters from previous stories was awesome. I do highly recommend this one it left me feeling very happy.

Healing a Rescuer's Heart by Ciara Knight

 Reviewed by Nas Dean

Healing a Rescuer’s Heart by Ciara Knight is a touching and uplifting romance that beautifully blends faith, family, and emotional healing. The story follows a wounded veteran and a single mother brought together through a rescue dog, creating a heartfelt journey of trust, redemption, and new beginnings.

Author Ciara Knight does a wonderful job developing relatable characters, especially in showing how past pain can shape—but not define—the future. The bond between the characters (and the adorable rescue dog!) adds warmth and authenticity to the story.

Perfect for readers who enjoy clean, inspirational romance with strong emotional depth. A comforting and hopeful read that leaves you smiling.
