CBR Diversions – Literary Couples That Make You Swoon

February 11, 2021 by teresaelectro 48 Comments

With Valentine’s Day swiftly approaching, romance is in the air. To complement our featured romance book reviews, this week’s CBR Diversion celebrates our favorite literary couples.

The world is hit with waves of magic going into overdrive where all tech stops working altogether. To survive, one must know when to use their car and when to hire that horse to get across town to that meeting. With magic in full swing for years, all sorts of creatures have come out of […]
