Bloom Where You're Planted

“Sometimes I just feel left behind. Like I have no story worth telling.”

Bloom Where You're Planted by Darby Baham

May 26, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

First off, this isn’t at all what you’d expect from a category romance. It’s much more fiction with strong romantic elements, as a good chunk of the book is Jenn figuring out the rest of her life. With that being said, it’s a thoughtful and sweet book about figuring out what you really want from life. While this is the second book in a series, I read it as a standalone. On the surface, Jenn has it all: a great group of friends, a long-term […]

Fire Magic & Ice Cream

“If your ice cream suddenly took on human form I would cheat on you in a second.”

Fire Magic & Ice Cream by Lauren Connolly

May 24, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

I loved this author’s Folk Haven series so I was very interested to see what paranormal romance she’d come up with next. And when I found out it had lots of ice cream? Mmmm. This sweet book is definitely one that you’ll want to have some ice cream on hand while reading! Quinn may be an accomplished accountant and the much loved middle kid in a trio of sisters, but she has no control over her fire elemental powers. All elementals’ powers are incited by […]

The Stardust Thief

“Let it be a story about stories and the power they have to sway mortal hearts.”

The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah

May 19, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

Wow. This book absolutely knocked my socks off. Much as you’d expect from a book loosely based on 1001 Nights, it’s a story about stories, about the stories we tell about ourselves and how they can constrain us or free us. Loulie survived the attack that killed the rest of her tribe, and with the help of her jinn friend Qadir, has risen to become the Night Merchant, the mysterious seller of jinn relics. When the sultan summons her and commands her to go on a […]

Something Wilder

“But maybe let’s set the low bar of just not dying”

Something Wilder by Christina Lauren

May 17, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 3 Comments

I’ve read and liked several Christina Lauren novels before, and this second-chance romance featuring a treasure hunt, all set in the wilds of Utah, sounded like a perfect summer read. While it does live up to some of those expectations, there was one major con that didn’t work for me at all. “I guess I’m looking for adventure. My day-to-day life is pretty routine.” He turned his baseball cap over in his hands and seemed to note that the mood had grown solemn. “But maybe […]

Enemies to lovers paranormal romance, with a mouse!

Boss Witch by Ann Aguirre

May 16, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

While I wasn’t a big fan of Clementine in the last book, I trust Ann Aguirre, plus I have a thing for enemies-to-lovers romances. While I didn’t like this quite as much as the first, I still enjoyed it and thought it was a thoughtfully done and funny romance. The first half of the book overlaps with Witch, Please, this time with the events from Clem and Gavin’s points of view. I was so-so on Clem in the last book as I felt like she […]

Forged in Flames

“Telling her best friends about accidentally summoning a goddess, being named her priestess, and being blessed with the ability to breathe fire wasn’t something that Kenna would like to repeat”

Forged in Flames by Ali Williams

May 15, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I’d read some of the author’s contemporary romances before so when I found out she had a shifter romance coming out? Heck yes! And it’s absolutely delightful, with a strong heroine and the exact opposite of an alphahole hero. It’s no exaggeration to say that Kenna is very surprised when the statue she’s working on suddenly turns into Belisama, a goddess she’s never heard of, and proclaims that she’s her priestess. But the blacksmith figures she can just shrug it off and finish off the […]
