Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur

Hang the Moon

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but… *looks both ways* I don’t usually review m/f romances. And that’s because I don’t usually read them either! I made an exception for Hang the Moon because I loved Brendon when I met him in Written in the Stars. Boy howdy, am I glad I did, because this book is ADORABLE. Annie is lonely in Philadelphia, so she leaps at a promotion that will take her to London. … Continue reading Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur

Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

Written in the Stars

Elle is working with Darcy’s brother, Brendon, on a project and he insists on setting them up on a blind date because they’re both single (also, as the founder of the … Continue reading Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

Cover Awe: An International Beverly Jenkins

A black woman in a teal period dress and pearl earrings has her hair pulled up. She's turning away. She's on stone stairs that look like it's just rained. Green fields and a blue sky are behind her.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! To Catch a Raven by Beverly Jenkins Cover image by Lauren Rautenbach | Arcangel Images Sarah: This is the Brazilian cover. Elyse: That is so gorgeous. There a quiet drama there. Tara: That cover is a balm to my soul, which is weary of illustrated people on covers. This is just perfection.

Comic Style Covers Keep On Coming

A vintage comic style illustration of two men about to kiss. One is standing up, has blonde hair in a kind of pompadour, and is wearing a right red shirt and jeans. In front of him is a seated man in a director's chair wearing a white button down and jeans.

It’s Comics, but it’s not Comic Sans! Recently Cat Sebastian revealed on Instagram the cover for her new book, Star Shipped, coming out in March 2026: Vintage comic style! I dig it. It conveys an era without being exactly specific, and it’s a style that’s nostalgically familiar. I’ve noticed this style as a growing trend in romance. Now, usually when I notice a trend, it’s after two similar occurrences. That’s a coincidence, I know. This … Continue reading Comic Style Covers Keep On Coming

The Rec League: Grumpy/Sunshine with Grumpy Heroines

The Rec League - heart shaped chocolate resting on the edge of a very old book

This Rec League was sent in from Cassidy: I’m looking for a book recommendation (recommendations if I’m being honest) for a book with a reverse grumpy x sunshine relationship. As much as I appreciate the brooding, cold, grumpy hero, I prefer romance where it’s the woman who is the grumpy or closed off one while the guy is social, pleasant to be around, funny, and an overall ball of sunshine/ a golden retriever—but books with … Continue reading The Rec League: Grumpy/Sunshine with Grumpy Heroines
