A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
When I read A Spindle Splintered, I had completely forgotten what it was about. I tore through the whole novella in one night and was blown away. And while I know you’re here to hear all about it, this is one of those few times when I want you to trust me and read this book without knowing anything else because that was a big part of the magic for me. In case I’ve persuaded … Continue reading A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow is $1.99! This one was published by Amazon, so it’s only available there. On Goodreads, there does seem to be some confusion on whether this falls into adult romance or young adult. Others say it splits the different at new adult.

HaBO: Bride Already Knows Groom Won’t Show Up
This HaBO request is from Susan, who wants to find this historical romance: I’m looking for a historical romance I read in the last four years. I’m guessing it was written in the early 2000’s. The book begins with the heroine at the church waiting to get married. The groom doesn’t show. The twist is the bride knows the groom won’t show up. Because he’s run off to Scotland or someplace with his true love … Continue reading HaBO: Bride Already Knows Groom Won’t Show Up

Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper
Payback’s a Witch was a fun, spooky, sexy way to kick off my autumnal reading. With enjoyable characters with clear development, a sultry queer romance, a delightfully magical setting, and beautiful prose, there’s lots and lots to like here. At the outset of the story, Emmy Harlow is returning to her magical hometown of Thistle Grove after a whopping nine-year absence, during which time she has not seen any of her family or childhood friends … Continue reading Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
Well, colour me pink and call me tickled. This was a read that was worth waiting for. I had squirreled it away in my TBR knowing that the publication date was only in September (HOW are we past September already?!) and past me did present me a real solid in that respect. This is a slightly creaky but charming romantic comedy that had me smiling at the pages. Olive is a graduate student in the … Continue reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
Cover Awe: Sunny Colors & Smiles
We have a very bright and sunny color palette in this edition of Cover Awe! Cover design by Rita Frangie Amanda: I think the reason I like this so much is that it’s so different from what we usually see in historical romance and historical fiction. Sarah: It’s like a twist on the old cameo/castle/landscape/flower bouquet covers. Carrie: The combo of the cameo and the embroidery and the background eye-catching yellow – stunning. Maya: CUUUUUUUUTE … Continue reading Cover Awe: Sunny Colors & Smiles

Role Model by Rachel Reid
I love Rachel Reid’s work, particularly this series. I’ve reviewed Common Goal and read a couple others in the Gamechangers series. I’m delighted to report that this book was lovely while I read it. I devoured it in a single sitting and I smiled goofily while reading it, but as soon as the book was complete, I all but forgot about it. And sometimes that’s exactly what I want from a book: a few glorious hours … Continue reading Role Model by Rachel Reid
