Once upon a time, I was girl who had never heard of T. Kingfisher and I think my reading life was 10-15% less happy because of that.  But then in 2021 something magical happened when I read the first book in the Swordheart series and fell…in…love.  It was everything Romantasy should be but rarely is.

Desperate by Ruth Mitchell #RuthMitchell  @sophiarose1816 #SundaySeries #KindleUnlimited

The story in which the mean girl gets out of her own way and gets her happy.  Ruth Mitchell’s sparkling romantic comedy series continues to entertain and make me sigh with pleasure. Desperate is the third of the Modern Jane series of romcom standalones.  This could be read out of order and quite easily, but […]

Monster Monarch Maiden by Rae Carson @raecarson.bsky.social @raecarson #GreenwillowBooks @RobinBridgeFour #LoveAudiobooks

Rae Carson is one of those authors I have loved over the years, that not nearly enough readers have experienced yet.  She does young adult so well, with strong smart heroines, great interesting and original plots, and romances that feel real instead of insta love or lust mistaken for love.  Monster Monarch Maiden is a […]

The One Who Walked Away by Karen Rose  @karenrosebooks.bsky.social @berkleyromance.bsky.social @berkleypub.bsky.social @KarenRoseBooks

I love the Romantic Suspense series. I’ve read them all. I started the series with the first Cincinnati book, with Faith and Deacon.  It was actually #16 overall. Then I went back and read the previous 15 books. I would not jump into this in the middle of a series. One could start at the […]

🎧 The Farewitch of Foxe Holler by Ellen Pauley Goff #EllenPauleyGoff @amandastribling.bsky.social  @simonaudio.bsky.social  #LoveAudiobooks #SpeccyFicChal

I decided I needed to read The Farewitch of Foxe Holler after reading Tammy’s review.  I found it cozy with a slow burn build of community and family. There was the expected witch magics and curses with some townspeople reacting badly to what they don’t understand. Honey was a strong, caring witch who brightened the […]

Deadly Revenge by Kathleen Donnelly  @KatK9writer ‪@htpbooks.bsky.social‬

As with Buried Lies,  I inhaled the next book, Deadly Revenge, in one sitting.  The earlier books in the National Forest K-9 series were good but these last two were really good.  Throughout we have been with the point of view of Maya, a forest service ranger.  Her grandfather is sheriff and her fiancé, Josh […]

🎧 Ravenous by Kresley Cole @kresleycole.bsky.social @petkoff.bsky.social @sourcebooks.bsky.social @RobinBridgeFour #LoveAudiobooks

I have read and enjoyed almost every book from the Immortals After Dark series, which is set in an alternate world from this one.  What I thought we were going to get was another formulaic story that you know will end in happily ever after for the couple involved.  What I got was a much […]
