Tour Review - - Archangel's Eternity

Archangel's Eternity

by Nalini Singh

Guild Hunter - Book 18

Publisher: Berkley

Release Date: May 5, 2026

 A thousand years.  

It’s been a millennium since Elena’s fateful first meeting with Archangel Raphael. She has survived war and loss, experienced beauty and cruelty. But no matter what, she has always held on to her mortal heart, as she and Raphael have held on to each other. Passionate and vibrant, they’ve built a life that has stood the test of time, growing ever stronger with each turn of the sun.

But change is coming—of a magnitude they could have never imagined—and it will forever alter the trajectory of their existence. 

Even as they grapple with the cataclysmic shift in their personal lives, the Cadre of Ten, which has maintained a hard-won peace for centuries, begins to simmer with dangerous fault lines. The specter of madness looms in one archangel, the promise of war burns between two others, and in darkness far from mortal and immortal eyes stirs an ancient, slumbering power.

Suddenly, the future is terrifyingly uncertain . . . at the very moment that Elena and her archangel need to protect a treasure infinitely more precious than eternity.

 

Nancy’s Thoughts: 

Nalini Singh has announced that Archangel’s Eternity is the final book in her long-running, popular Guild Hunter series. Her letter to readers at the end confirms this, as does the structure of the book. It is very much a farewell to the series world and its characters, and it reads like a book written for fans, not as one designed to attract new readers. 

The focus of this book is the characters and their relationships, especially Elena and Raphael. The theme is the importance of family, both blood-linked and found. Unlike the other books in this series, there is no overarching, threatening plot. There’s not much adventurous action and little about the politics of the Cadre, the group of archangels who rule the world. 

Readers who love the action and adventure that were such a part of this series may miss that and thus may find the pace a little slow. Others may find that focusing on the relationships and character interactions is a fair trade-off. 

Writing a detailed review of Archangel’s Eternity  would require spoiling something that has been carefully kept close by Singh and by Berkley. Rather than do that, I’ll just say that characters we haven’t seen lately—some of them, not in a very long time—reappear and have a moment with Elena and Raphael. I didn’t remember who some of them were, which isn’t surprising with a series this long, but the text includes reminders. It’s likely that some of those I didn’t recall are favorites of other readers, who will enjoy those bits all the more for having a deeper appreciation of the relationships. 

As the blurb promises, Elena and Raphael’s life is about to change, and that change runs through the story. It’s also the reason for many of the reunions in the book. 

Singh has always written emotion beautifully, and this book is no exception. I don’t generally cry at books or movies, but I got a little choked up several times and had to blink back tears at one reunion. 

Archangel’s Eternity is a moving and fitting end to this series. While reading the last of something I’ve enjoyed is bittersweet, I applaud Singh for closing the series on a high note rather than keeping it going past its prime. 

If you’re a fan of the Guild Hunter series, you’ll love this book. If you’re not already a fan, go back and read from the beginning, Angels’ Blood. You won’t be disappointed.

Out of Commission

 

You know I'm feeling bad when I don't even have the strength to add a cute cartoon.

I've been battling a sudden and severe case of what my doc thinks is Covid. I tested at an Urgent Care on Day 3 but all the signs are there. She's seen me virtually and is sure it was a false negative. In short, this is Day 9 of this battle and the first time I've able (with help) to get to my computer. I have a feeling I'll last just long enough to finish this post then it's back to bed while I'm still able.

I don't know when I will be back at the desk - it's going to take time - or what the schedule will look like for a while. When I say I have no energy, I mean I have NO ENERGY. I'm not even strong enough to read in bed or use my phone or iPad. Maybe not a bad thing while trying to heal? Though I can't imagine not being able to read ever being a good thing. 

Thank you for understanding. 

You all are the best!

Review - - Family Lies

Family Lies

by Karen Rose

The San Diego Case Files - Book 4

Publisher: Berkley

Release Date: March 31, 2026

Reviewed by Nancy

As an infant, Kit McKittrick’s foster sister Akiko was abandoned at a firehouse. Now 32, Akiko has received an unsettling phone call from a woman who says that she knew her birth mother but refuses to divulge any details except in person. Akiko is nervous but also thrilled at the prospect of finally learning about her blood relations.

Kit has a bad feeling about this and insists on accompanying Akiko to meet the woman. Sure enough, as they stand on Mary Sherman’s doorstep, shots are fired and Kit is hit...and inside the house is a corpse: Mary Sherman herself.

Although she’s on medical leave and forbidden to work the case, Kit cannot rest. With police psychologist Sam Reeves, she undertakes a covert investigation into the mysterious Mary Sherman. Was she Akiko’s birth mother? Why did she reach out after all these years? And who had a motive to kill her?

As more bodies pile up, Kit starts to put together the pieces of the frightening puzzle that is Akiko’s birth family, and she’ll come to wonder whether some secrets should stay buried after all.

Nancy's Thoughts:

Karen Rose has a knack for putting a mystery within a mystery so that progress on the cases facing her protagonists often leads to more twists and turns that make matters worse. That ability is on full display in Family Lies, the fourth book in the San Diego Case Files series.

Longtime readers of this series are aware that Kit McKittrick’s foster parents have provided homes to many lost young people over the years. They’ve adopted many of those young people, most of whose stories are full of more questions than answers. One of these is Akiko.

The more Kit and Sam delve into Mary Sherman’s death, the more they learn about Akiko’s birth family. Yet every discovery leads to more questions. Each path they pursue leads to more confusing revelations about Akiko’s family history. One of the witnesses they’re seeking survives an attack but refuses to divulge information that might help them.

The threat to Akiko, which becomes more serious as the story goes on, torments Kit with echoes of the sister she lost not long after coming to live with the McKittricks. Dealing with those memories and the present-day threat to Akiko challenges Kit emotionally.

On top of that, someone shoots at Kit three times, wounding her once. Her insistence on investigating, despite being told to back off, leads to conflict between her and some officers in the police department. Some detectives rally around her, however, in a way that fits perfectly the found family theme that runs through this series.

A longtime supporting character provides an unexpected wrinkle in the investigation. While surprising, it’s not inconsistent with that character’s story to date. It works in the context of the story and the overall context of the series.

A complex story like this can be confusing or difficult to believe. The developments here, though, are presented a few at a time so they’re easy to follow, and the motivations behind them make them believable. When everything comes together in a final, nail-biting confrontation, more twists and turns occur even as what came before finally becomes clear.

Seeing Kit’s parents, Harlan and Betsy McKittrick, is always a pleasure. The story spends only a little time with their latest group of foster children but gives them interesting and distinct personalities. Sam’s parents have less page time but are sympathetic and interesting.

One of my favorite parts of this series has been the slow-burn romance between Kit and Sam. Every book brings it just a little farther along the road. Many thriller and mystery series have slow-burn romances between the protagonists, but they are rarely as grounded in the characters’ backstories and emotions as this one is. For those who want a trope, it’s hurt-comfort, and it’s beautifully handled.

Overall, I enjoyed Family Lies tremendously. The story pulled me in from the first page. The main characters are engaging and easy to root for. The supporting characters, even the ones who’re a problem for the investigation and are not especially likeable, are drawn with layers. The story moves at a good pace.

Highly recommended

Review - - Magic and Mischief at the Wayside Hotel

Magic and Mischief at the Wayside Hotel

by Elizabeth Everett

Publisher: Ace

Release Date: March 10, 2026

Reviewed by Nancy  

 

When a magical hotel appears smack-dab in the middle of the most unmagical of worlds, the last thing the residents expect is to fall in love.

Manager of the Number Five Wayside Inn and World Travel Hub, Pax Nomen has one of the easiest jobs in all the known universes, unless you count the occasional plumbing disaster. When Number Five Wayside gets stranded on a non-magical world, even Pax's trusty Wayside Handbook can’t help him. How is he going to “reboot” the hotel and keep it on its magical journey?

Josie LaChusia is a single mom experiencing debt, having parenting doubts, and tipping dangerously toward depression when an ad pops up on her phone that an apartment is available in a building she’s never seen before.

Pax needs a new guest to restart his hotel, and Josie needs a nudge to restart her life. In a building occupied by faeries, gargoyles, and a gnome with a bad attitude, two souls from very different places come together to create a home like no other.

Nancy's Thoughts: 

Magic & Mischief at the Wayside Hotel is a charming cozy fantasy with a strong romance thread. It’s set in an intriguing world that left me with some questions that didn’t stop me from enjoying the story. Pax and Josie are very well drawn and engaging, and the secondary characters have enough layers and detail to seem real without taking over the story. 

The Wayside Inns travel between realms. Travelers seeking to reach one of these realms go to a place that’s a stop for one of the inns and register as guests. The inns have strict rules to make different, sometimes mutually hostile species, coexist peacefully. The problem this Wayside Inn faces is that it has run out of magical fuel. That’s how it comes to land, and be stranded, on our Earth. Some of the inns have disappeared, but no one knows why. 

We don’t learn much about these other worlds, but Pax shows Josie records of one that’s drawn in vivid and appealing detail. The brief explanation of the inns’ traveling implies that any inn can go to any and every destination. I couldn’t help wondering how this worked and whether there actually were routes for the individual inns. 

Pax and his assistant manager, Maddy, don’t know what to do to fix the Wayside so it can resume its travels. The inhabitants, who’ve paid for transportation, understandably want to reach their intended destinations. Pax has an idea, bringing in an ordinary person, making a change in an effort to “reboot” the inn, which the instruction manual directs them to do but does not define. Some of the guests favor this approach, some do not, and a couple want to try using an ordinary person as a blood sacrifice. In the end, they advertise an apartment for rent, knowing a nonmagical human will move in because this world has nothing else. 

Contemporary popular culture plays a big role in this book. There are many pop culture references. For the most part, they were a lot of fun. I loved seeing the stranded fairies become enamored of TikTok and cheerleading, for example. By the end of the book, though, I felt that there were too many pop culture callbacks.

One of the threads that runs through the book is Pax learning contemporary American culture. His internal questions about various topics, which he then consults Google for information about, are humorous and endearing. Josie’s son, Amos, plays a big role in this part of Pax’s education. 

Pax grew up in an orphanage on his world, where all orphans are slated for the Army of the Light, which defends the existence of magic. Pax was a paladin, a leader, and very good at his skills that come in handy for dealing with the assortment of non-human beings—faeries, a vampire, a gnome, gargoyles, and a zombie, just to name a few—who’re marooned in the inn. Because of his upbringing, Pax has no experience of love and doesn’t understand it. 

Josie lands at the Wayside because she sees the apartment ad. She can’t afford her current rent, so, despite some odd experiences when she views the apartment, the Wayside is a godsend. Her life has been difficult though she and Amos’s father, Dan, had a good relationship until he died. Now Dan’s mother undercuts Josie’s parenting at every opportunity. 

Josie lacks confidence in her ability to make decisions. She doesn’t trust her own judgment. Pax doesn’t understand love, and neither of them knows what will happen to the romance building between them when the Wayside recovers and goes on its way. As she and Pax find their way to each other, they also become stronger, more confident people, in the best tradition of romance. 

The inn itself is both sentient and magical, and it takes an indirect hand in the various developments. Everett uses scent effectively as a tool to interpret the inn’s actions. There are also visual cues. The changes the inn makes at time almost drive Josie away, but she does need a place to stay. 

There were a few downsides to the book for me. There were also a couple of passing references to contemporary American politics. Whether I agree with such a references or not, I don’t want them in my escapist reading. Amos’s grandfather is described as letting his wife do the talking but steps aside from that at an important point. I didn’t feel it had been seeded well enough. I need a little more foreshadowing for his move. 

Overall, I enjoyed this book tremendously. Highly recommended. 

4.5 stars

Review - - The Paris Match

The Paris Match

by Kate Clayborn

Publisher: Berkley

Release Date: April 7, 2026

Reviewed by PJ

Physician Layla Bailey has spent over a year telling herself she's moved on from a painful but amicable divorce from her college sweetheart. Staying friends with her ex seemed like the mature thing to do, but when Layla is invited to her former sister-in-law’s destination wedding in Paris—where Layla once spent her own romantic honeymoon—she knows her commitment to maturity might be her worst enemy…especially since her ex isn’t attending alone.

The only thing that could make the week more difficult is getting through it without the distraction of the wedding.... But when what Layla thought was a harmless conversation about the choices of her younger self leads to the bride getting cold feet, Layla finds herself facing down the groom’s mysterious, taciturn best man, Griffin, who will do anything to make sure this wedding happens.

Since she broke it, Griff demands she help him fix it. Going along with his plan to alleviate the engaged couple's doubts seems like Layla’s best chance at maintaining a good relationship with a family she once called her own. But as she learns more about the past heartbreak that’s driving Griff to help his friend, she gets closer and closer to confronting the true depth of her own pain…while finding herself more and more willing to risk it all again for Griff.

PJ's Thoughts:

I've decided that when Kate Clayborn publishes a new book I may as well go ahead and block out the entire release day - and night - because I'm not going to get anything done - and certainly, no sleep - until I turn the final page and am assured of another couple's happy ending. 

I found myself completely immersed in The Paris Match from the beginning and, if anything, became even more invested as the story progressed. First, there's the setting. I don't know if Clayborn has wandered through the streets of Paris in real life but it absolutely felt like that's what I was doing as I tagged along with Layla and Griff. Hot chocolate and croissants at charming sidewalk cafes on quiet streets, history-drenched art and statues in museums, high fashion, long walks along tree-lined avenues, soft jazz floating on night air and sparkling lights outlining the Eiffel Tower. It all created an atmosphere of romance and self-reflection which, in Layla's case, was both pleasurable and painfully poignant. 

The characters were skillfully depicted with messy relationship ties, complicated back stories, and, in Griffin's case, both physical and emotional wounds at play. I appreciated that the author took the time to slowly build trust between Layla and Griff, leading to a gradual unveiling of the events and decisions that had brought both to this place and time in their lives. Nothing was quick or easy about their journey which made the ultimate outcome all the more satisfying and realistic. I loved the growth of both characters. It was only in discovering their own strengths, acknowledging their weaknesses, and taking long-overdue steps to address them that these two were able to take that step into a solid and lasting relationship. I was right there with them every step of the way.

If you enjoy contemporary stories with charming settings (I mean, come on, we're talking Paris), adversaries-to-lovers romance, awkward (ex) family relationships, humor, heart, and emotionally satisfying happy endings, I highly recommend Kate Clayborn's The Paris Match. I turned the final page at 1:30 am and do not regret one single minute of lost sleep.

Review - - Can't Get Enough of the Duke

Can't Get Enough of the Duke

by Lenora Bell

The Thunderbolt Club - Book 2

Publisher: Avon

Release Date: April 7, 2026

Reviewed by PJ

War hero Deckard Payne, Duke of Warburton, made a battlefield promise to become guardian to orphan Analise Crewe. He certainly didn’t agree to marry the girl! But that’s exactly what happens when he’s forced to wed her to save her honor.

The last thing Analise wants is a loveless marriage to a brooding—albeit handsome—duke who lives in a gloomy castle and keeps his doors—and his heart—tightly locked. He’s determined to keep her at arm’s length—but she’s not easily deterred when there’s a tough case to crack.

Warburton never wanted a wife. Especially an inquisitive and far-too-pretty whirlwind who upends his regimented life. Her sunny, winning ways charm everyone she meets and soon she’s unearthing buried secrets, plotting love matches, and shining light into even the darkest of hearts…his own.

PJ's Thoughts:

Do you enjoy a lively guardian/ward trope? How about grumpy/sunshine? Scandal-forced marriage of convenience? Age gap (it's the Regency, not that unusual)? Sparkling banter? A bit of danger? You'll get all that and more in Lenora Bell's newest book, Can't Get Enough of the Duke. 

To be honest, I couldn't get enough of Analise. If anyone in this book should be grumpy and disillusioned, it's her. Yet she's the one who lifts the spirits of everyone around her. Yes, she's young and a bit naive, impetuous, and too curious for her own good but her heart is in the right place. I adored her. I want to be friends with her. I want to bask in the sunshine of her indomitable spirit. And, let's face it, so does the duke...even if it takes him the majority of the book to realize it. 

Dex (the duke) needs some sunshine in his life. This man is darkness personified. Still struggling with the horrors of the battlefield, physical and emotional wounds, and the pain of personal betrayal, he's encased his heart in ice that shows no signs of thawing. It feels like his rigid rules are the only things holding him together, until little Miss Sunshine comes along and threatens to blow everything to smithereens. I do love watching those "I will not fall prey to love" heroes come apart at the seams. 

If you like spice, you'll get plenty in this book, including a hero who tries to take command in all areas of his life, especially the bedroom. It feels a bit imbalanced in the beginning, especially with the age difference, but it doesn't take long for inexperienced Analise to grow into her own power and even the playing field. 

As an added bonus, there's a book within this book. Analise is an author who has written a fantasy romance with a cursed dragon whose emotional evolution coincidentally parallels that of her own dragon-like Duke of Warburton. A passage from her book begins each chapter of this book and sets the stage for what's to come. I can't be the only reader who found herself just as invested in the outcome for the dragon as the outcome for the dragon-like duke. 

Do you enjoy age-gap romances?

Review - - The Governess's Guide to Spells and Managing Misfit Marquesses

The Governess's Guide to Spells and Managing Misfit Marquesses

by Amy Rose Bennett

The Parasol Academy - Book 2

Publisher: Kensington Books

Release Date: March 31, 2026

Reviewed by PJ

 

Hermina Davenport can hardly believe the audacious exploit she is about to attempt. To protect an orphaned young viscount, the prim and proper governess feels she has no choice but to break the rules of the Parasol Academy Handbook! When the lad’s guardian, a ruthlessly ambitious explorer, ensorcelled by the evil Fae Queen, spirits him away on a dangerous North Pole expedition, Mina employs an invisibility spell to snatch him from the ship. But a magical misfire whisks Mina and her charge onto a different vessel, that of a ruggedly handsome Irishman—a strapping prizefighter from Dublin’s backstreets—and Mina finds she’s at sea in more ways than one . . .

Phineas O’Connell, Lord Kinsale, can no more explain the arrival of this English Rose than he can adapt to his newly-inherited title—though his disgruntled pet pug clearly has “thoughts” about the fair stowaway. But their enchanted encounter sparks an irresistible offer: Phinn enlists the polished Miss Davenport to transform this misfit marquess into a mannered gentleman ready for his seat in Parliament. No magic required, just enticingly intimate lessons in etiquette and elocution to smooth all his rough edges including a stammer. . .

But when enemies—both earthly and supernatural, past and present—threaten, a confrontation begins, where Mina’s nondescript umbrella is just one of her powerful weapons . . .

PJ's Thoughts:

Check your disbelief at the door and embrace the faery magic in this newest book from Amy Rose Bennett. 

I've lost track of the number of times I've watched Mary Poppins, which could be why I'm so thoroughly enjoying this new series from Bennett. I want to be friends with these graduates of The Parasol Academy who are tasked with protecting London's children. How could I not? They are kind, dedicated to their charges, pragmatic, and surprisingly adept at fending off villains. They also come equipped with intriguing spells and magic pockets. I do love a good pocket and, really, wouldn't a spell come in handy on occasion? I especially like the closet teleportation one, even if it does go wonky now and then, landing you in the master cabin of someone's ship. How else are you supposed to meet a hunky Irish marquess who just might end up being the love of your life? 

And let's talk about that newly-minted marquess. Say hello to Phinn, Lord Kinsale, my new book boyfriend, a tall, muscular, rugged, former boxer from the streets of Dublin. He's woefully ignorant of the ways of the Ton, doesn't know how to dance, and has a stammer. He's also kind, caring, dedicated to improving the lives of the poor, protective of those in his care, and smitten with his new governess. I say "his" because in addition to teaching the two young boys in his home, Mina is also teaching Phinn what he needs to know to effectively navigate society as well as deliver speeches in Parliament. Maybe "never been kissed" Mina would like a few lessons as well? I love the slow-burn chemistry between these two, how they slowly become friends while the growing yearning simmers beneath the surface. I love how gentle Phinn is once he realizes what he thought about Mina isn't actually what is truth, how he always verifies consent, even in the throes of his own desire. And, I love how he embraces all that she is without blinking an eye, ready to go to battle to keep his little family safe. 

If you're in the mood for a feel-good historical romance with humor, heart, a bit of adventure, slow-burn cross-class romance, an opinionated dog (who communicates with a certain governess), Fae magic, and a swoon-worthy happy ending, check out The Governess's Guide to Spells and Managing Misfit Marquesses. It's a delight.
