Finders Keepers

By Radclyffe

A Rivers Community Romance | Book 8

Tally Dewilde forges her own path when she chooses to go into veterinary medicine and ignores her mother’s desire that she establish a boutique clinic for the pets of the wealthy in Manhattan. When she arrives in upstate rural New York to join Sydney Valentine’s animal hospital, the break with her old life seems complete on every level. Until an unwelcome reminder of the painful past arrives at her door in the form of Roman Ashcroft.

Rome Ashcroft was forced to give up her dreams when accused of a crime that cost her everything. She intends to start a new life as a PA at the Rivers community hospital, until a simple act of kindness throws all her plans into question. Her past, it seems, is not so easily forgotten when fate brings her and Tally Dewilde together—along with an attraction neither welcomes.

A brief detour to a ranch in the middle of nowhere doesn’t lead to forever, does it?

Olivia Martinez, forced to leave her high-power Manhattan job with no prospects, is at a crossroad. Not only is she a city girl down to the tips of her Jimmy Choos, she wants to stay close to her parents, who depend on her more than they’d like to. Generally not a risk taker, Olivia steps out of her comfort zone when her best friend, Elizabeth Sutton, asks her to temporarily lend a hand at the Red Sky Ranch. After all, what can a few months change, and New York City is just a plane ride—or three—away, right?

Haunted by an hour that changed her life, Riley Mitchell escapes the memories and the guilt by riding motorcycles way too fast, skydiving, and running into burning buildings. She is good-looking, charming, and never wants for female company, as long as no commitment is expected. When Olivia returns to the Red Sky Ranch, Riley’s carefully crafted safe world goes up in flames.

Can they take a risk and cross the fire line to find love?

Friends & Community

A Red Sky Ranch Romance | Book 1

Kelsey Brunel knows exactly what the future holds: she’ll one day inherit the Arizona dude ranch that has been in her family for three generations. She tells herself that the business and her good friends are all she’ll ever want or need. Long-term relationships aren’t in the picture, which after witnessing the devastation of her parents’ failed marriage, is just fine with her.

Elizabeth Sutton has grown up proving to her family that she’s as capable and accomplished as they demand her to be, even if that means working for the family business. Her latest assignment, to turn a backwater ranch in Arizona into another link in their international chain of wellness centers, feels like a demotion and she can’t wait to get it done and escape back to civilization.

Two women from different worlds have nothing in common and every reason to wish they’d never met—except for the attraction neither can deny.

Only This Summer

By Radclyffe

First Responders

Medical Romance

Dr. Lily Davenport is the poster child for burnout—physically and emotionally. All she wants is a few months of nondemanding work at a summer camp, of all places, so she can figure out what to do with the rest of her life. The last thing she expects is to run into a woman who awakens a passion she hadn’t even realized had died along with all those she’d failed to save.

Forest ranger Chase Fielder is not in the market for a relationship. Counting on people never leaving is for fools. A fling with Lily promises to be exactly what Chase is looking for—short-term, hot as a forest fire, and one Chase can extinguish whenever she wants. Now all she has to do is convince Lily they’re a perfect match.

After all, it’s only one summer.

A PMC Hospital Romance | Book 6

People of Color

Ren Dunbar is used to never fitting in—anywhere. Graduating high school at thirteen and med school at nineteen pretty much guaranteed she’d always have trouble proving she belonged, but she’s okay with that. She prefers the solitude of the lab over the raucous atmosphere in the OR, which would be fine except she’s a surgery resident. Winning the Benjamin Franklin Prize in surgery is just the proof she needs to show everyone she deserves to be part of their world.

Dani Chan knows she’s disappointed her family in choosing a mundane clinical career—in surgery no less—over the far more valuable world of medical research. When she wins the Franklin Prize and the national acclaim that comes with it, she’ll finally gain their approval, and maybe, at last, their affection.

Ren and Dani set out to win, no matter what it takes, but their unexpected attraction is an obstacle neither has counted on and love may be the final reward.

Unrivaled

By Radclyffe

A PMC Hospital Romance | Book 5

Medical Romance

Zoey Cohen spent a lifetime learning to hide disappointment and loss behind a mask of unshakeable calm and control, even when her longtime friend-with-benefits lover moves on for true love.

Declan Black returns to Philadelphia Medical Center after an accident costs her the life she’d built and her career. She’s resolved to protect herself from ever being vulnerable to past mistakes by rebuilding her life around her new role as an ER attending, and that life does not include love.

Zoey will never accept second place in matters of the heart, even when her rival is a career, and Dec has nothing left to give of herself or her heart. Sometimes change is a force more powerful than will.

Advance praise from Publishers Weekly: "Medical drama, gossipy lesbian romance, and angsty backstory all get equal time in Radclyffe’s fifth PMC Hospital Romance (after Passionate Rivals)...[F]ans of small community dynamics and workplace romance without ethical complications will find this hits the spot."—Publishers Weekly, 4/1/2021

- This was an easy read that can be read standalone despite being part of a series (although I am sure you will get more out of it if you read in order). Heartwarming and funny. I enjoyed this read.

- A book about the Rivers community so that we see old faces and get updated on their lives, combined with a lot of puppies and two newcomers who fall for each other despite some troubles still lingering from their shared past. It makes for a very good new book in the Rivers series and one I would definitely recommend if you liked the other ones. Although it can be read as a standalone as well.

- A Sapphic Romance that is an extremely slow burn. Like spice isn't until 97% of the book slow burn. That doesn't bother me as my little ACE heart likes to get to know the characters before anything like that happens...
  
  I enjoyed the puppies and how that brought everyone closer together. I loved the trans high school student working his way through to find himself. I liked seeing one of the main characters work through her past beliefs to find the truth...

- If you want to read a novel that feels like an episode of The L Word, then read Finders Keepers. This was such an enjoyable read for me, and I don't think I'd gotten a vibe from another book, like I got from this one...
  
  This was a short novel but for some reason it took me almost an entire week to read. I was pretty busy and I did procrastinate a lot, but I also feel that when I was reading, I wanted to take my time and enjoy what I was reading as opposed to just rushing through it because I had to meet a deadline I'd set for myself. This is the type of romance I like, with characters that actually have a life and stuff going for them besides a potential relationship. They also openly communicated when there were issues...you know, a good adult romance all around...I'm happy to have read this book and I'm open to read more from this author.
