Going into The Undermining of Twyla and Frank, I was both excited and a little nervous. The previous book, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, is one of my favorites, so there’s always that worry that a follow-up won’t quite live up to the first story. Thankfully, this novel was a really enjoyable return to…

Legends & Lattes is a novel that does exactly what it promises on the tin: it is cozy, warm, and quietly magical. Travis Baldree’s debut follows Viv, a retired orc warrior who hangs up her greatsword to open the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. What unfolds is less a tale of adventure…

Red Queen was not originally on my radar — I came to it by way of the online discourse surrounding Powerless by Lauren Roberts, and the conversations comparing the two books. Curiosity got the better of me. What I did not anticipate was cancelling plans, more than once, for the sake of this series. I…

Morning Glory Milking Farm is one of those books I picked up because of how often I saw it talked about on social media. When a book becomes that popular online, curiosity eventually wins. Very High Spice — Know What You’re Getting Into If you’re considering picking this one up, it’s important to know going…

I really enjoyed this novel. Once again, Ali Hazelwood delivers exactly what I’ve come to love from her books: sharp writing, strong character building, and banter that feels natural, funny, and emotionally grounded. Her dialogue always feels lively, and this book is no exception. The character interactions were easily one of my favorite parts. Banter,…

I enjoyed Powerless well enough overall, though I did find it fairly predictable. The story has plenty of elements that make it appealing within the YA/New Adult romantasy space, but for me, it didn’t feel especially surprising. I could often see where things were heading, which made it harder to stay fully engaged, and I…

This was another historical romance I thoroughly enjoyed. From the very beginning, the story pulled me in with its charm, humor, and wonderfully written characters. The character building here is fantastic! Both of the leads feel distinct, layered, and easy to root for, which made the romance all the more satisfying. A Slow Fall Worth…

One Fine Fae is another enjoyable installment in Molly Harper’s Mystic Bayou series. This will probably be the last one I talk about for a little while, mostly because I like to break up longer series so I don’t burn out on an author’s style. Mystic Bayou is the kind of world that’s fun to…

I went into Chasing the Wild expecting a slow burn romance, and personally, I don’t think it truly fits that label — though I do think it depends on what kind of slow burn reader you are. If your definition of slow burn is that the couple doesn’t cross the physical line until around the…

I really enjoyed Book Lovers. It has all the cozy charm of a small-town romance, but what makes it stand out is that it’s also quietly poking fun at those exact tropes. The book feels like both a love letter to the genre and a playful satire of it, and I found myself laughing out…
