The Merriest Misters
By Timothy Janovsky 
🎧 Narrated by: Mark Sanderlin, Zach Barela 
Book 160 of 2024
Spice Level: fade to black

The Merriest Misters is this great balance of the realistic struggles of a young relationship – splitting bills and housework, making decisions about where to live and how to decorate, and balancing your work life, and your dreams and passions, with your home life – and an absolutely fantastical situation – being the new Santa Claus. There’s also a sprinkling of conversations about the rigidity of gender roles in our society. But Janovsky tackles these deep conversations amidst a fun romp of a novel, keeping the vibes mostly lighthearted.

Patrick and Quinn met in college and got married soon after graduating. They are early in their marriage, and things are getting a little rocky. Quinn starts out the book feeling emotionally neglected, and like he has been responsible for more of the housework and cooking while Patrick works long hours.

Patrick is learning how to show his love and appreciation in a way that actually makes Quinn feel loved and appreciated – and how many of us have had that phase in our relationships? There are whole books about the Five Love Languages to try to give couples the language to identify how their partner can show them love. And, of course, there are studies showing how home labor tends to fall on women’s shoulders more than men’s – even if the woman is the primary breadwinner. It was really interesting to see how these roles play out when there are two men in the relationship.

While I can go on and on about these deep conversations that I find interesting – the core plot of this book was so fun and lighthearted! After Patrick attacks Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, he becomes the new Santa, and moves to the North Pole for a year with Quinn. There is a lot of magic and fun at the North Pole – the Christmas vibes were off the charts! The whole cast of characters was so fun – especially the little poet elf that Quinn gives pep talks to.

🎧 I really loved these two narrator’s performances. With two POVs and flashbacks, it can sometimes be a little hard to follow by audio, but I found this one to be very clear with what POV we were in and where we were in the timeline! All of the characters were clear and distinct, and the narrators matched their characters so well.

The Duchess Takes a Husband

By Harper St. George

🎧 Narrated by: Justine Eyre 

Series: The Gilded Age Heiresses, Book 4 

Book 46 of 2024

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  series info .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

The Gilded Age Heiresses is a series of interconnected standalones. While you can read them individually, you do meet the characters across the different books, so I enjoyed reading them in order. 

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  review  .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

Readers may want to check the content warnings before diving into this one. Camille is the Dowager of Hereford, and her first marriage was truly awful. I loved watching her heal and become more empowered during the course of this book. Jacob was so patient and kind and they were a perfect match! 

🎧 I really enjoyed this on audiobook. Justine Eyre did an excellent job with all the accents and bringing all of the characters to life. 

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  book synopsis  .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

A scandalous arrangement between a London rogue and an American duchess leads to lavish stakes.

Despite her illustrious title, Camille, Duchess of Hereford, remains what she has always been—a pariah. Though her title means she’s technically accepted by London Society, the rebellious widow with her burgeoning interest in the suffrage movement and her American ways isn’t exactly high on every hostess’s guest list. But Camille starts to wonder if being an outcast is not without its perks when the tantalizing answer to her secret fear appears in the shape of Jacob Thorne, the illegitimate son of an earl and co-owner of London’s infamous Montague Club.

Jacob is used to making deals with his club members—he’s just not accustomed to them being beautiful women. Nor have the terms ever been so sweetly seductive as Camille’s shocking proposition. To finally buy his own club and gain the crucial backing of investors, Camille offers Jacob the respectability of a fake engagement with a duchess. In return, the tempting widow has one condition: she wants Jacob to show her if it’s possible for her to experience pleasure in bed.

The lure of such a bargain proves too delicious to resist, drawing the enterprising rogue and the wallflower duchess into a scandalous game and an even more dangerous gamble of the heart.

Fantasy RomCom Review: Assistant to the Villain

Thank you to Red Tower for the review copy! 

Assistant to the Villain
By Hannah Nicole Maehrer
🎧 Narrated by: Em Eldridge
Series: Assistant to the Villain, Book 1
Book 45 of 2024

You know how there are DNFs and NFNs? (Did Not Finish / Not For Now) I started this book back when it came out and the humor was not for me in the mindset I was in. Fast forward to March, and suddenly it was PERFECT for the mood that I was in! That’s the trickiest part about getting review copies for me – sometimes my mood just doesn’t match a book until the right time, but I feel so bad for being late when the publisher is kind enough to send me a review copy!

Assistant to the Villain started as a series of TikTok skits, but the novel is fully developed into a cohesive storyline. 

I binge listened to the audiobook in a day, and had so much fun! I’m excited that more publishers are publishing these fantasy romcoms, where the world building is pretty light but you still get the elements you love in a romcom! 

I can’t wait for book 2!

🎧 This was perfect audiobook vibes for me. Fantasy can be hard for me on audio, all the worldbuilding tends to get muddled. Since the worldbuilding was light, I thought this was a lot of fun! Since I tend to listen to audiobooks while doing things around the house or playing games, this book was PERFECT -fast paced and light – and really kept me entertained. 

Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.

ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits.

With ailing family to support, Evie Sage’s employment status isn’t just important, it’s vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find evil so attractive, Evie.

But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.

Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.

After all, a good job is hard to find.

With You Forever
By Chloe Liese 
🎧 Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs & CJ Bloom
Series: Bergman Brothers, Book 4
Book 42 of 2024

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  series info   .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

The Bergmans are a close knit family, so you will see a lot of the previous couples and allude to their story, so I think they are best read in order. Book 1 was a 4 star for me because it had a couple of slow spots, but book 2 is one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read, so they are worth your time!

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  book review   .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

I have been impatiently waiting for Rooney & Axel’s story!! Rooney has been around since book 1, since she is Willa’s best friend. I love how much we get to see of all the Bergmans and their partners throughout the books.

My only complaint about With You Forever was that, after a a multi book build up…this was still a slow burn!!! However, Liese gave us just enough that it kept the tension high without getting repetitive or boring. I do love romances that build an emotional relationship before getting spicy, so this was an absolute joy to read. 

Something I really appreciate about Chloe Liese, especially as an own voice autistic author, is the way she writes about both mental and physical health. While sometimes conflict happens because of a character’s mental or physical health, it is treated with such kindness and empathy by their partner. The conflict often becomes about how a character’s own sense of self worth or internalized ableism is affecting their ability to trust their partner. As someone who’s physical health has changed drastically in the past few years, I find this so relatable. 

🎧 I love that all of the Bergman Brothers books are narrated by the same duo! To me, it creates continuity because the characters sound the same from book to book. 

Representation: chronic illness (IBD) & autism

The TikTok sensation, now with new exclusive content!

Opposites attract in this heartfelt, modern marriage-of-convenience romance about finding love—and home—in the most unlikely of places.

Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate and the antithesis of quiet, reserved Axel. He’s been able to hide his attraction to her until a party game gets out of hand and ends in an unexpected kiss. Months later, Rooney’s staying just next door to him for a cozy A-frame getaway and temptingly within reach.

Axel, the eldest Bergman brother, is a gorgeous grump and Rooney’s longtime crush. Their kiss was an accident, and months later, so is stumbling into him at the Bergman family’s property. Rooney’s sure her feelings are unrequited, thanks to the distance Axel keeps, so she keeps her attraction to herself.

But when Axel and Rooney unexpectedly find their paths—and problems—converging, marriage proves the perfect solution. At least, until they face a new a marriage of convenience that’s inconveniently become a love match, after all.

Friends Don’t Fall in Love
By Erin Hahn 
🎧 Narrated by: Kale Williams & Lisa Zimmerman
Book 41 of 2024

🎧 You absolutely need to read this one on audio, the narrators’ performances are incredible! 

This gave me all the vibes I loved from Lovelight Farms, with that “friends to lovers” (but they’ve been into each other for a long long time). 

I loved everything about FMC Lorelai Jones – she’s a little bit based on Natalie Maines and the fall from grace The Chicks had after speaking up about politics. After Lorelei Jones sings a protest song after another devastating school shooting, everyone abandons her – even her fiance. Everyone except Craig. 

Craig is so smitten with Lorelei from page one. But he’s happy to have whatever relationship she wants – friends, producer/artist, housemates…

This was just so good from beginning to end, and I couldn’t recommend it more.

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  book synopsis   .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

Erin Hahn’s Friends Don’t Fall in Love is about long-time friends, taking chances, and finding out that, sometimes, your perfect person was right there in your corner all along.

Lorelai Jones had it all: a thriving country music career and a superstar fiancé. Then she played one teenie tiny protest song at a concert and ruined her entire future, including her impending celebrity marriage. But five years later, she refuses to be done with her dreams and calls up the one person who stuck by her, her dear friend and her former fiancé’s co-writer and bandmate, Craig.

Craig Boseman’s held a torch for Lorelai for years, but even he knows the backup bass player never gets the girl. Things are different now, though. Craig owns his own indie record label and his songwriting career is taking off. If he can confront his past and embrace his gifts, he might just be able to help Lorelai earn the comeback she deserves―and maybe win her heart in the process.

But when the two reunite to rebuild her career and finally scratch that itch that’s been building between them for years, Lorelai realizes a lot about what friends don’t do. For one, friends don’t have scratch-that-itch sex. They also don’t almost-kiss on street corners, publish secret erotic poetry about each other, have counter-top sex, write songs for each other, have no-strings motorcycle sex, or go on dates. And they sure as heck don’t fall in love… right?

Feral is the Beast

This is a series of standalones, and the books can be read in any order. I have not yet read Book 1, but after reading this, I definitely want to!

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  book review    .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

Do you ever find yourself wishing that SHE could be the centuries old immortal and HE was the 20-something? Well, I have the book for you!

I absolutely love Nisha J. Tuli’s writing, and this spicy novella has all of my favorite elements:

✨ sassy, strong willed heroine
✨ absolute disdain for alphaholes
✨ fast paced
✨ lots of romance!

Feral is the Beast is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, but our Belle character – Vespera – is a 400ish year old witch in hiding. She’s been forced to work for power hungry kings in the past, and is looking for a quiet life where she can make up for the damage she has caused. She lives in a small town and works as an apothecary. But the town is also home to a castle – where the Feral King lives. This King becomes a beast and frequently attacks unsuspecting villagers, and everyone lives in fear of when he will strike next. 

Vespera soon becomes the King’s prisoner, but refuses to admit to her powers. It’s a fantastic enemies to lovers set up, and we get to learn to like the King right alongside Vespera. I loved the side character Celeste, who forms a friendship with Vespera that shows us Vespera’s softer side. They spend time swapping romance books, and it’s so cute. 

Feral is the Beast is just under 200 pages, so expect a pretty fast pace with lots of spice. 

.    .   .   .   .   .    .  book synopsis    .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .  

The Feral King thinks he’ll break me. But I will break him first.

I’m a 400-year-old witch covered in tattoos—the source of my magic—but I’ve been hiding them for years, trying to escape my past.

After spending centuries at the mercy of royals who thirst only for power and the desire to make up for their less impressive “assets,” I refuse to be used as a tool for evil ever again.

It’s any other night in my apothecary when the Feral King—a beast who eats the local villagers for sport—kidnaps me and demands my help.

When I deny him, he tries to torture me into compliance, but pain and I are long-acquainted friends, and I will never be the one who falls.

This is a high-heat immortal witch and mortal man age-gap fantasy romance with enemies to lovers and forced proximity. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Raven Kennedy, or Jennifer L. Armentrout. Feral is the Beast is book 2 in Cursed Captors, a series of interconnected standalone stories.

Romance Review: Written in the Stars

by

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I get a commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links, at no cost to you.

Written in the Stars
By Alexandria Bellefleur
🎧 Narrated by: Lauren Sweet
Series: Written in the Stars, Book 1
Book 37 of 2024

I’ve been meaning to read this series forever, and I can’t wait to continue it!

If you read the book synopsis (in the comments), the book is marketed as having nods to Pride and Prejudice, and I can always use more of the source material. Written in the Stars really only uses the archetype of the main characters – Darcy is a bit cold and reserved, and Elle is more free-spirited. 

While I overall enjoyed Written in the Stars, and thought it was a fun romcom, there are a few elements I wish were different that may have made it a five star for me. 

First, I feel like with the opposites attract trope, especially in the case of this story where Darcy was kind of mean to Elle at the beginning, we need the more reserved or stuck up character to fall first and fall harder. Darcy starts out being attracted to Elle, but really doesn’t like her personality. For me, this made the beginning slow and it made it harder for me to really like Darcy or root for her love story. Don’t worry though, she did really like Elle after getting to know her, and respect her belief in astrology. 

Once our couple started spending real time together and getting over their first impressions, it was a really fun read! 

🎧 I listened to this all via audiobook and really enjoyed Lauren Sweet’s performance. I sometimes have trouble when the two POVs share a gender, but I found it easy to tell who’s POV we were in!  

[book synopsis]

With nods to Bridget Jones and Pride and Prejudice, a charming #ownvoices queer rom-com debut about a free-spirited social media astrologer who agrees to fake a relationship with an uptight actuary until New Year’s Eve—with results not even the stars could predict!

After a disastrous blind date, Darcy Lowell is desperate to stop her well-meaning brother from playing matchmaker ever again. Love—and the inevitable heartbreak—is the last thing she wants. So she fibs and says her latest set up was a success. Darcy doesn’t expect her lie to bite her in the ass.

Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account, Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate. But she knows it is most assuredly not Darcy… a no-nonsense stick-in-the-mud, who is way too analytical, punctual, and skeptical for someone as free-spirited as Elle. When Darcy’s brother—and Elle’s new business partner—expresses how happy he is that they hit it off, Elle is baffled. Was Darcy on the same date? Because… awkward.

When Darcy begs Elle to play along, she agrees to pretend they’re dating to save face. But with a few conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her own overbearing family over the holidays and their arrangement expires on New Year’s Eve. The last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a fake relationship.

But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars?

Ever After Always
By Chloe Liese
🎧 Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs, CJ Bloom 
Series: Bergman Brothers, Book 3
Book 32 of 2024

**series info**

The Bergmans are a close knit family, so you will see a lot of the previous couples and allude to their story, so I think they are best read in order. Book 1 was a 4 star for me because it had a couple of slow spots, but book 2 is one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read, so they are worth your time!

**book review**

I thought this was a beautiful romance about a marriage in crisis. It utilized therapy well, and really showed how two people could love each other and still not understand how to show love to each other as time went on. 

Aiden’s anxiety representation I thought was well done, and Liese showed the way an anxious brain can catastrophize situations. I don’t remember depictions of panic attacks, if that’s something you’re sensitive too!

🎧 Duo Nelson Hobbs and CJ Bloom continue to do fantastic work narrating the Bergman brothers. The books are well suited to audio format, with very natural sounding dialogue and descriptions. 

[book synopsis]

The TikTok sensation, now with new exclusive content!

A marriage-in-crisis rekindles its passion in this second chance romance about going the distance to make love last.

Freya Bergman has spent a dozen years loving Aiden and never thought they’d find their marriage on the rocks. He’s her partner and best friend, the person she knows she can count on most. Until one day Freya realizes the man she married is nowhere to be found. Now Aiden is quiet and withdrawn, and as the months wear on, the growing distance between them becomes too much to bear.

Aiden would spend a dozen lifetimes making his wife happy. But the one thing that will make her happiest is the one thing he’s not sure he can give a baby. With the pressure of providing and planning for a family, his anxiety is at an all-time high. They’re drifting apart and he doesn’t know how to change the tide.  

As if weathering marriage counseling wasn’t enough, Freya and Aiden are thrown together for a Bergman family island getaway. Will this trip help them finally work through their trouble in paradise, or be the final wave that tows them under?

Romance Review: Fangirl Down

Thank you to Avon and Libro Fm for my review copies! 

Fangirl Down
By Tessa Bailey
🎧 Narrated by: Callie Dalton 
Book 29 of 2024

Do you like when an authors’ books have some similarities, or do you prefer them to feel very different?

I think this was my 10th Tessa Bailey book, and I find that I either find her books absolutely hysterical, adore the characters, and cannot put the book down, or I find it completely cringey and have a hard time finishing it. I honestly think it has to do more with the mood that I’m in when I read it than it has to do with Tessa’s writing being wildly different depending on the book. I think I was especially harsh in my reaction to Fangirl Down since I had just read Always Only You which is not extremely similar but it is a sports romance where the FMC has a chronic illness. If you remember, I absolutely adored Always Only You and think it’s one of my new favorite books, so I probably should have given that book and this one a little more space.  

🎧 Either Wells’ dialogue does not translate well to audiobook narration, or the narrator made some choices that made his dialogue really cringey. Read this one with your eyes!

What I did like about this one was how devoted Wells was to Josephine and how protective he was of her in the beginning. I could have used a little more character development for him – he seemed to change from a depressed alcoholic to a model husband and father through the power of Josephine’s sunshiney personality. 

I liked that Tessa included some chronic illness representation with Josephine having Type 1 Diabetes. I think that the book showed how difficult T1 can be without making it seem like a plot device or a character flaw. 

[ book synopsis ]

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance series with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan…

Wells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star, but lately, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover, a collection of broken clubs, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life.

Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash…

As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right?

PNR Review: Deja Brew

Deja Brew
By B. Perkins and Aimee Vance
Deadlights Cove, Book 2 
Book 26 of 2024

✨ On Kindle Unlimited ✨

Do you ever wish you could read a book with a diverse cast that feels like you’re hanging out in Stars Hollow…but with more magic? If so, you absolutely need to pick up the Deadlights Cove books!

First, I would highly recommend reading these in order. There’s a mystery plot line that has a full arc across the five books, so while you CAN read them out of order, you’ll get the full experience if you read them in order! (And I equally loved Book 1 – Smoke Show – and I think you will too!) 

Childhood best friends to strangers to lovers is one of my all time favorite tropes. The tension between Nimue and Kit was 🔥🔥🔥.

I wish I could go hangout in Deadlights Cove with all of these characters, but since they are fictional I will have to do the next best thing and continue to read the series! 

[ book synopsis ]

Nimue Fitzpatrick never really meant to leave Deadlights Cove, but after she’d impulsively kissed her best friend, Kit Sayana, it suddenly became easier to take freelance photography jobs out of town. Just what she needed to forget the mess and the amber eyes she couldn’t bear to face anymore in the Cove. Now, after four years away, it might be time to admit that she’s been avoiding him.

The last four years haven’t been the easiest for Kit as the pressure to assume his responsibilities as future Alpha for the Arrowwood skulk takes over his life. Needing space, he moved out of his family home and into the apartment above his tea shop, Immortali-Tea. Despite the closeness among the members of his skulk, there is one thing he hasn’t shared with anyone, even his closest friends: ever since he kissed Nimue all those years ago, he’s known she’s his mate. The problem is that an interspecies mate bond is impossible, so it can never be.

When Nimue returns home for her cousin Blaze’s Halloween party, everything changes. No matter how the two childhood friends try to avoid their feelings for each other, fate has other plans. With magic turning on the shifters, the town is set into a panic that requires everyone to work together — especially Kit and Nimue.

Can they recover their prior friendship enough to come together and solve the next mystery, before it has lasting effects on the shifters in town?

Follow Kit and Nimue’s story, along with the quirky band of local misfits, through the Deadlights Cove series, in book two, Deja Brew.

While each book follows a different couple, the Deadlights Cove series is best read in order. Catch up and find out what Petra and Blaze discover in book one, Smoke Show, first.
