Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!

This HaBO comes from Anonymous, who wants to find this romance: I’m trying to find a fantasy romance book. There’s a scene where the heroine is close to death, but the hero takes her outside and places her on the ground. The earth like envelops her in vines and heals her. I know this is super vague but it’s driving me crazy. This sounds very familiar to me, but I can’t place it! Help!

Happy Tuesday! December is probably the slowest month in publishing. Not only does publishing take time off at the end of the year, but releases can get buried in all the holiday hubbub. Expect some pretty short lists this month. We’ll also be combining the entries for the week of the 17th and the 24th, especially since we run our Best Of content during Christmas week. Is it a quite month for you? What releases … Continue reading Hide Your Wallet: December 3rd Release Week! →

One Burning Heart is the fourth, and I hope not the last, book in Elizabeth Kingston’s Welsh Blades series. I’ve loved this series since reading the first book nearly 10 years ago, so I was beyond excited when it was out. It is also the first book by Kingston since 2019 – and that’s “the before times” so it feels extra long! I reviewed Desire Lines that year. I one-clicked it and started reading this … Continue reading One Burning Heart by Elizabeth Kingston →
