Baby’s First Fantasy Court Intrigue

Castles in Their Bones by Laura Sebastian

April 5, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Daphne understands, suddenly, exactly what she is – not a girl, not a princess, not a spy or a saboteur. She is a poison, brewed and distilled and fermented over sixteen years, crafted by her mother to bring ruination to whomever she touches. Beatriz, Daphne, and Sophronia have been raised since birth to wed into the royal families of their neighboring countries – and then sow discord to bring them under their mother’s control. But the triplets find that when their loyalties are tested, it […]

“Society is a consequential fool, and I am tired of rules and strictures that do no good and bring nobody happiness.”

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles

March 29, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Seriously, K.J. Charles is always a good time, but this one didn’t hit me in my swooners like some of her other stuff has. Maybe one swooner, a couple times. But it was still really good! Just probably won’t be on my re-read rotation. This is apparently the book she wrote to get her creative juices flowing again when she was stuck on the third Will Darling book. I’ve been saving it for a day when I needed something joyful and that I knew would […]

An Affair to Forget

A Summer Affair by Elin Hildebrand

March 29, 2022 by Lynn Leave a Comment

I like Elin Hildebrand because she writes stories set on Nantucket, and it makes me feel like I can hear the ocean and smell the salt and the flowers and feel the sand between my toes. I live in on the west coast of Florida, where the beach is 9,327 degrees and the sand gives you second degree burns on the bottom of your feet and it sometimes smells like red tide. Don’t get me wrong; I like the beach, but the Nantucket beach feels […]

Holding a Witch

Cute witchy spring vibes romance

Holding a Witch by Lauren Connolly

March 24, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I was a little worried before starting this book because while I’ve loved the author’s other novellas, I’m pretty picky about paranormal novellas. After all the world building necessary, sometimes there’s not enough space left for the romance. Luckily my worries were unfounded about this short and sweet childhood friends-to-lovers novella about a bear shifter and a witch. “If that person who could keep her here exists, she hasn’t met them yet. And without them, Cordelia loves her magic and her freedom to explore more […]

“Beauty influencer and game geek. It’s not intuitive.”

Love, Comment, Subscribe by Cathy Yardley

March 23, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

Is this the part where I confess that I don’t get the whole YouTuber thing? Because, ok, while I’d heard lots of praise for this book, I wasn’t sure about whether I’d be interested in a romance with two influencer MCs. Luckily, this book drew me in with all of its geeky, cute glory. “I don’t know. Beauty influencer and game geek. It’s not intuitive.” “We’re not that different, though,” he said, and he wasn’t quite sure why he was making his case; at least, […]

Hell’s Belles

Bombshell by Sarah MacLean

March 17, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Scandalous Sesily is the last of the Talbot girls left unwed, but her heart was captured long ago by her sister’s best friend and business partner, Caleb. Having found purpose as part of a group of vigilante women, Sesily discovers on Caleb’s return that he too has secrets of his own – and a dangerous enemy. Sarah MacLean’s books can be a hit or miss for me. They have so much to love – smart heroines, dashing heroes, engaging premises and plots, and an early […]
