Lindsay’s first meeting with Ryan Kwok, a movie star, doesn’t go well when the man knocks over a tray of matcha tiramisu donuts.  But when he requests baking lessons before he appears on Baking Fail, Lindsay doesn’t tell him no.  Before too long the pair of them are cooking up more than just pastries as they bond over grief.  Their chemistry is undeniable, but both wonder if it can last. This was so much fun to read. I loved all the characters, especially Ryan and […]

Cover for the book The Bookshop and the Barbarian by Morgan Stang

Maribella arrives in the town of Leafhaven to take possession of the bookshop she just bought.  When she finds it infested by goblins and learns that the town guard won’t do anything about it, she ends up hiring Asteria as a bodyguard for the shop.  The goblins are only the first challenge the pair face as Mirabella attempts to make her bookshop a success. I think I’ve mentioned in a previous review that I’ve really been enjoying the trend of cozy fantasies.  I’ve read a […]

Corin was just looking for an evening to forget everything.  Audric figures one night of indulgence before he’s betrothed won’t hurt.  Neither of them were expecting the explosive chemistry between them or the instant connection on a personal level.  Of course, Audric had no clue that Corin is his bethrothed’s illegitimate half-brother, and Corin doesn’t discover Audric’s a prince until they meet again the next day at the betrothal ceremony.  It’s a political marriage for the good of the country, and both Corin and Audric […]
