More romance in Swedish

En enda hemlighet (Falling) by Simona Ahrnstedt

April 30, 2024 by Malin Leave a Comment

The readers met both the protagonists in this novel briefly in the first book in the series, En enda natt, which is also where they first ran into each other. At the beginning of this book, idealistic doctor Isobel Sørensen is angry and stressed because the organisation she works for most of the year, Medpax, is struggling for funds, and she’s becoming convinced that it’s her fault. On the previous occasions when she has run into Alexander de la Grip and he’s tried to flirt […]

“Maybe I was right. We’re not normal people. We are monsters. But if we’re monsters, we’ll thrive in the dark. Together.”

Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

April 26, 2024 by faintingviolet 7 Comments

The first book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy came to my attention thanks to my fellow Cannonballers. I feel like I went from knowing absolutely nothing about this book or its author to being flooded with information about it and somehow still managing to go into the reading experience with extraordinarily little spoiled for me (something I hope to accomplish with my own review). Malin’s review from March was the linchpin as I don’t traditionally go in for dark romance but if Malin gave it her […]

Fun & Delightful Black Sapphic Romance

A Little Kissing Between Friends by Chencia C. Higgins

April 25, 2024 by LB 1 Comment

I feel like I’ve been waiting for this book forever, so as soon as I got approved for an arc I had to immediately jump in. And I am so glad I did! I’ve loved Chencia’s books since I read Wolves of West Texas, and seeing her story-telling grow and develop is just amazing. A Little Kissing Between Friends is such a delight of a book and had me laughing constantly. The friendship between Jucee and Cyn is so wonderful, and I also love how […]

“Being a serial killer who kills serial killers is a great hobby… Until you find yourself locked in a cage.”

Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

March 30, 2024 by Malin Leave a Comment

CBR16 Sweet Books: Excited (I love this book and would like everyone I know to read it, but also understand that it’s very much NOT for everyone). Spoiler warning! I will do my best to review this without major plot spoilers, but if you want to experience this book without any prior knowledge of the contents, possibly skip this review until you’ve read the book. Sloane “Blackbird” Sutherland and Rowan “Butcher” Kane have a rather unusual meet cute. He finds her locked in a cage, […]
