“You’re partially impaled. This is no time to be stoic.”

The Leopard King by Ann Aguirre

April 8, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

It happened! A paranormal romance I liked! Prepare yourselves for news of flying pigs. Plot: For a hundred years, after a war with the humans bisected the continent into supernatural creatures and human, a peace treaty has stood, however uneasily, between the Animari, the Golgoth and the Eldritch. This unity  has been, as many consider, the most significant protection from human aggression to the south. At the end of a century, it is however time to renegotiate terms, and the conflict and ambitions that have […]

“The things we do to avoid difficult things are often worse than the difficult thing.”

Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

April 8, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

An emotional read about grief, friendship, and learning to move on from pain. Emily Henry reviewed it as a book she wished she’d have written herself, only then she wouldn’t have been able to enjoy reading it, if that gives you a sense of the pacing and narrative structure of the book. Plot: Eve has a close knit friend group – her best friend Susie, her mate Justin, and Ed, the guy she’s been in love with since she was 17, who has been dating […]

Tied Score by Elia Winters

April 8, 2022 by Nart Leave a Comment

Second in the Slices of Pie series and stand alone novel with uncommon kink elements. Plot: Iris is an HR manager for a gaming company. She was raised in a strict religious family that broke down due to a pretty ugly divorce that left her with, practically speaking, neither parent in her corner. As an adult, she still rebels against her minister father by being sexually liberated. She rebels against the bounds of official monogamy, which she sees as stifling, by rejecting relationships outright. What’s […]

“Everyone knows high-spirited termagants are the only sorts of ladies I fancy.”

Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

February 14, 2022 by Nart Leave a Comment

Classic style regency romance without the problematic bits. Plot: Nicholas and Margaret have been best friends their whole lives and had assumed that they would marry as well. Minor problem: Maggie is the daughter of a wealthy Squire and Nicholas is the son of a retired prostitute now working in the Squire’s home. Other minor problem: her neighbour Frederick is very confident that she will marry him instead, and figures there’s nothing wrong with helping turn the page on this childish infatuation by getting Nicholas […]

“Signore, it is nothing. Women, they always say they will cut off the balls. It is like when the man say ‘Tomorrow, I will respect you still. It means nothing.”

Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase

February 13, 2022 by Nart 2 Comments

It’s Loretta Chase. There’s a pretty solid floor on quality. This woman is the Swiss watch of romance. Plot: Take one James Bond-esque super spy tired of the game, add one famous courtesan that used to be married to a traitor aspiring to become the next Prime Minister of Great Britain and settle back to watch the fireworks. Classic Chase shenanigans ensue. This book has everything. Adventure, state secrets, fist fights on a boat, a heroine with immense sexual experience that she will not apologise […]

Make Up Break Up by Lily Menon

February 13, 2022 by Nart 2 Comments

This one is really, really going to depend on whether you can relate to the heroine, because the whole story is told from her point of view, and her perspective does not seem super grounded in reality. Plot: Annika has been building up her dating app Make Up. It’s meant to be a sort of AI therapist for couples on the verge of separation, and it has a lot of people very interested and just as many people very anxious because they’ve invested a bunch […]
