I somehow ended up on a mailing list for a bunch of “witchy fiction” written by authors from New Zealand, and when I saw this novella was about a witch with celiac disease? I absolutely couldn’t resist. This was a fun and relatively light cozy mystery with tons of Kiwi flavor. Trinity has a set ofRead the Post
Review: Morning Glory Milking Farm – C.M. Nascosta
I know I’m late to the party as literally everyone was talking about this last month, but, wow, this book! That cover does not do it justice. I mean, yes, there’s lots of milking of giant monster cocks, but there’s also millennial job angst, a sweet relationship buildup, and lots of coffee. Violet is prettyRead the Post
Review: The Friend Contract – Dria Andersen
Content warnings: I am always up for a best-friends-to-lovers fake relationship book. Add it that it’s between two Black shifters, one a panther and one a bear, and I was all in. Though this is the first in the Hamilton Brothers series, twin bear shifters, there’s another book that takes place before it that talks aboutRead the Post
Review: Puppuccino – Allison Temple
Content warnings: I started reading this series because it includes books by some of my favorite authors, but Allison Temple is a new one to me. Considering I’ve been dealing with training our new dog, this felt like a very timely book for me. Charlie may naturally be a neat freak, but between getting outRead the Post
Review: Cup of Joe – Annabeth Albert
Content warnings: When I saw there was a new queer shared series coming out that several of my favorite authors were writing in, I had to pick up the first book. The Bold Brew series revolves around a coffee shop in a Pennsylvania college town that’s a hub for the queer and kink-positive communities. “Hot,Read the Post
Review: RomeAntically Challenged – Marina Adair
Content warnings: After her fiancé breaks up with her (and decides to keep their original wedding appointments for the new love of his life, eek), Annie moves to Rome (Rhode Island) where she tries to accept that maybe she’s not meant to find her own romantic partner. Every guy she’s dated has somehow moved onRead the Post
Ho-Ho-Holiday Mini-Reviews
I’ve been reading a ton of holiday novellas for the JingleBooks bingo, and while I don’t feel like doing full reviews for each of them, I figured a few small reviews would be helpful for anyone looking for some post-Christmas reading – or for me next year! So here’s seven quick reviews! As a sidenote,Read the Post
Review: Pining Over You – J.N. Welsh
Content warnings: When I saw this gorgeous cover in the author’s newsletter, I had to go check out this book. And, ok, this is like Christmas overload, but in a very good way. It’s a small-town, childhood friends, second-chance holiday romance. First off, we’ve got two characters named Sasha Merry and Rodney Chestnut (I KNOW).Read the Post
Review: Daddy Crush – A. Anders
Content warnings: Age gap isn’t one of my personal favorite tropes, but when it’s done really well, oof. After hearing all over Twitter how steamy this book was, I decided to check it out myself and I’m glad I did. “Chemistry with an older, more mature guy who knows what he’s doing in the bedRead the Post
Review: Love by the Books – Té Russ
Content warnings: This book is as adorable as the cover suggests! It’s a quick, sweet, low-conflict romance between a Black literary agent and a Black bookshop owner. “So here I was, standing in the middle of a bookstore, about to have a damn orgasm from merely watching a sexy ass man reading a book.” ThingsRead the Post
