Yell if I can help dig some graves once you’re finished.

The Sorceress Transcendent by Casey Blair

May 18, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I love well done enemies to lovers romance. Bonus points if it’s scifi or fantasy. The Sorceress Transcendent is fantasy. It’s a quick read, with a nice blend of action and domestic comfort. Varius and Theira have fought on opposite sides of an ever lasting war for years. Varius was a general and Theira a sorceress, second only in power to the autocratic Sorcerer Ascendant. They have studied each other on the battlefield, almost flirting through tactics. Now, pushed too far by the empire he […]

Another enemies to lovers romance, I did say it’s my favourite trope

I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis

April 13, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Of all the decisions brilliant lawyer Victoria Clemenceaux has made in her life, an unforgettable one-night stand with her opposing counsel Owen Pohl is either the worst…or the best. One thing is certain: these long-standing rivals aren’t going to let their searing attraction stop them from winning the biggest case of their careers. Thankfully Victoria and Owen have someone to vent to about their nemeses. But they have no idea that their online ‘friends’, Nora and Luke, are the very people they […]

Farewell Katia, See You As Soon As You Publish The Next One

Just Might Work by Katia Rose

November 30, 2022 by Abi 1 Comment

And so, my journey through the sapphic romances of Katia Rose comes to an end. Originally this review of Just Might Work was going to be “Oh hey so this one has the best smut of the lot” but then I read Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner and frankly that blew everyone out of the water in the smut department, so with all due respect to the smut, I will be forced to talk about the way in which I liked the characters, very much […]

Writing Your Own Happy Ending

Read Between the Lines by Rachel Lacey

August 28, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

This one grew on me after kind of a rocky start. A combination of it taking it’s time working through an awkward setup and taking some time to warm up to the writing style meant that I spent the first couple of sessions pretty cold on the whole thing, but I came around by the mid point. Rosie and Jane are many things to each other – Customer and bookshop owner, author and reader, twitter mutuals with a budding friendship, Awkardly, between an online pseudonym […]

Opposites Attract Enemies to Friends to Lovers

The Stand-up Groomsman by Jackie Lau

August 11, 2022 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I know a Jackie Lau romance is going to make my heart happy. In some ways The Stand-up Groomsman is a departure from the types of Lau books I’ve enjoyed in the past. In this follow up to last year’s Donut Fall in Love Lau takes a more serious tone and unpacks some bigger emotional truths, in this case how we handle expectations and how it interacts with larger family dynamics. But in most ways, this is almost exactly the type of book I’ve come […]

A slightly happier ending to this story of fatal foes than Romeo and Juliet

Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews

December 26, 2021 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars This was an ARC from Netgalley. My views and opinions are my own. On the alien planet of Rada, most of the powerful families have genetic abilities in some way or another, but the ones born with lethal combat abilities are the fiercest of rivals, and none more so than the Adlers and the Baenas. They are constantly vying to be the most dominant, and now both families are close to discovering the secrets behind their genetic abilities. Matias Baena, head of his […]
