A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole
Having thoroughly enjoyed A Princess in Theory last month, I scooped up book 2 in Alyssa Cole’s Reluctant Royals series. Happy to say, I loved A Duke by Default every bit as much. And yes, I’m aware of the gaffes related to titles, etc. but really, Cole could ask me...
Merry Inkmas by Talia Hibbert
The promotional description of the male main character, Cash Evans—an alphamellow bad boy hero—is perfect. Lots of readers like a good alphahole hero. But I don’t find alphaholes as much fun as Alphamellows like Cash. Mellows are much easier to like. In this short...
Saving Silver by Xavier Neal
I love shifter romances. And shifter dragons? Yes ma’am. Add to that a Fated Mate trope and I’m all in. Saving Silver is a quick read, thoroughly engaging and somehow, Xavier Neal managed to combine sweat romance with hot romance. Because, believe me, the attraction...
Happiness Falls by Angie Kim
Happiness Falls by Angie Kim is admittedly a hard read, but so worth the effort. For every wonderful thing that happens in this story, there is a price to pay. This is a missing person mystery wrapped around a family drama dealing with a neurodivergent teen. I’m not...
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole
In A Princess in Theory, Alyssa Cole manages to fuse my favorite fairytale, Cinderella, with my favorite Eddie Murphy movie, Coming to America. Naledi, a graduate student, lab tech, and catering waitress has no time for internet scammers from Africa or drunk friends...
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store: A Novel by James McBride
I don’t think I can describe The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store better than Danez Smith of the New York Times Book Review, “smart, heart-blistering, heart-healing,” because this book is all about heart in the metaphorical sense. The story is set in Pennsylvania...
A Dish Best Served Hot by Natalie Caña
Caña creates an immersive world of rich characters, complex story, and deep romance.
Jade City by Fonda Lee
The cover of Jace City includes this subtitle: Family is Duty. Magic is Power. Honor is Everything. These are the core principles in the world Fonda Lee has created in Jade City. It’s a world readers will recognize. The names of places and car brands are different....
A Lot Like Adios: A Novel by Alexis Daria
Oh man, Alexis Daria knows how to write romance.
