Slow Burn Romance

[Diane’s Review]: A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

A Magic Alchemical Fox Hunt? Why Yes, Very Much So! A Far Wilder Magic has undoubtedly been one of my favourite reads of 2022. Allison never ceases to create real, beautifully flawed, relatable characters who make you laugh and cry all in one paragraph. Margaret is an aloof outcast who prefers guns and her dog […]

[Diane’s Review]: The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin

I’ll just start off by saying this is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read in every aspect. From the poetic atmospheric language to the sheer beauty of this story I was truly invested. Rachel has a talent with bringing the seasons to life, their very essence seeping from the pages and into […]

[Diane’s Review]: The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren

As soon as the Earth warms and the ground thaws I come out of hiding in search of a feel good romance, and THE SOULMATE EQUATION did just that. CLo knocks it out of the park again with this incredibly touching and heartfelt story of a single mom who’s just surviving with her amazing daughter […]

[Faiza’s Review] : The Nightborn (Stormbringer #2) by Isabel Cooper

This book had a strong prologue and introduced the main plot of the series but I had a hard time getting past the first 20% of the book. I felt like it dragged on a little, but after it the book picked up very fast. It follows the events of the first book in this […]

Emily’s Review: Love at First by Kate Clayborn

Sixteen years ago, a teenaged Will Sterling saw—or rather, heard—the girl of his dreams. Standing beneath an apartment building balcony, he shared a perfect moment with a lovely, warm-voiced stranger. It’s a memory that’s never faded, though he’s put so much of his past behind him. Now an unexpected inheritance has brought Will back to that same address, where he plans to offload his new property and get back to his regular life as an overworked doctor. Instead, he encounters a woman, two balconies above, who’s uncannily familiar . . .

No matter how surprised Nora Clarke is by her reaction to handsome, curious Will, or the whispered pre-dawn conversations they share, she won’t let his plans ruin her quirky, close-knit building. Bound by her loyalty to her adored grandmother, she sets out to foil his efforts with a little light sabotage. But beneath the surface of their feud is an undeniable connection. A balcony, a star-crossed couple, a fateful meeting—maybe it’s the kind of story that can’t work out in the end. Or maybe, it’s the perfect second chance . . .

[Diane’s Review] Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Red, White & Royal Blue In Space!! I seriously LOVED this book! It was so cute and so sweet and filled my heart. But also, a bit like a murder mystery which I found quite fun! At some points I found myself getting frustrated with the lack of communication between Kiem and Jainan. I mean […]

[Asis’ Review] ARCHENEMIES by Marissa Meyer

The writing of this author apparently gets an A+ from me every time, but I think everyone already knows that. This story felt a little slower than the first one at times, I felt we had more constant action on Renegades. But on Archenemies, we actually get a lot more of the politics and social […]
