This week I've been mainly reading, no. 228.
On one level Ruth Jones, novel of unstated love & love miss-told, Love Untold (2022) is a very readable romantic fiction, well put together & often compellingly written. But, for some reason, which I'm not quite able to put my finger on, it doesn't quite catch fire as a narrative, being in a sense less then the sum of its (at times excellent) parts. So well worth reading, but in some way lacking something....
Remain, le nouveau film de M. Night Shyamalan, sera une romance surnaturelle !
Every month, we do a cool thing on QueeRomanceInk.com to support indie writers. We share 4 of their books with our readers for free, and then add those readers (only with permission) to the author lists. It's a great way to get some new reads, "meet" a few up and coming authors, and forge new connections. :)
This month's books are below. Grab 'em here (we send them out around the 3rd of next month):

“MacLean was Scottish and another thing I intuitively liked was that his heroes were mostly rough-hewed social nobodies formed by World War II and not on the playing fields of Eton like James Bond. I didn’t know much about British class snobbery then, but I sided with outsiders.”
—Alessandra Stanley, “In Praise of Alistair MacLean & the Male Romance”
