This Rec League is from Christy! I’ve been in a reading slump of several “enemies to lovers” and I have DNF’ed the past 4 books in a row. I have found this trope can be weighed down by too much bickering, immaturity (especially in a professional context!), conflict that could be resolved with a conversation, or a main character lying or omitting the truth. I find all of these to be tedious, and I jump … Continue reading The Rec League: Rivals to Lovers →
To Cage a God is a fantasy novel with romantic elements that I think will work well for a lot of readers. It’s got similar vibes to the Grisha/ Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo, has a sapphic romance, has a morality chain romance, and has disability rep. All of that is topped off by a unique magic system and some really fun world-building. The world in To Cage a God is reminiscent of … Continue reading To Cage a God by Elizabeth May →
Hello, everyone! It’s Wednesday Links time and this edition is brought to you by readers like you! Seriously, most of today’s links came in by submission from the community. Keep ’em coming! It’s mid-May and my allergies have made an appearance. So far, they aren’t as bad as previous years, but dry eyes are a new symptom and while my meds are working, I hate that stuffy head feeling. … Ellen sent this one – … Continue reading Links: Wonderful Community Submissions →
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall is $1.99! Shana reviewed this one and gave it a Squee grade:
Many of the book’s themes are around friendship–loving a friend but hiding parts of yourself, learning to connect with other women, and the perils of competitive friendships. I loved A Lady for a Duke, it’s a must-read for historical romance fans looking for a new take on Regency friends-to-lovers.

This HaBO request is from Alana, who is hoping to find this book: Here is what I remember. There are at least three protagonists. Two men and one woman. I believe that these three people are taken from their modern world and dropped in Camelot. The three characters did not know each other in the modern world. Two of the characters, one of the men and the woman, find each other and are trained to … Continue reading HaBO: Camelot Time Travel →

I’m having a bit of a tryst with Katee Robert books lately and this one did not disappoint. After the events of Hunt on Dark Waters which I reviewed, I was desperate for what promised to be an epic sequel. In book one, we are introduced to Lizzie, a truly fearsome vampire. At the start of book one, Evelyn (the heroine of book one) steals Lizzie’s family jewels and disappears into Threshold, a fantastical place between … Continue reading Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert →
