Book Review: The Magic That Binds (Haelan #1) by A.J. Sherwood

Sherwood launches an imaginative and immersive urban fantasy world with this series opener featuring a delightful mix of primary and secondary characters. I was immediately intrigued by the mystery of how Dag’s “magic” isn’t allowed in this setting, especially when he is blatantly on the side of good, but I was also excited for himContinue reading “Book Review: The Magic That Binds (Haelan #1) by A.J.

Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell

This post includes reviews of the following books in the Split Rock Ranch series: Something Undeniable (#1) | Something Unexpected (#2) Something Undeniable (Split Rock Ranch Book 1) I’ve been shying away from age-gap romance stories lately, but this new author has been on my radar, and I didn’t mind diving into this one whenContinue reading “Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell”

Book Review: Day of Judgment (Virtuous Sinners) by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane

The surface-level tropes were what originally attracted me to this book, but the deeper story and connections that developed between the characters drew me in completely. Even though it begins with a married couple in a long-term established dynamic, I found myself immediately invested in the external plot, which is much more than Justin takingContinue reading “Book Review: Day of Judgment (Virtuous Sinners) by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane”

Book Review: Wholly Trinity (Les’s Bar #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Les’s Bar series: Just Dex (#1) | Hide Bound (#2) Many books by this author pair fall into the “comfort read” category for me, especially because of the fascinating intersection of city versus cowboy, power exchange, and surprising external story elements. While always coming from unique characters, theContinue reading “Book Review: Wholly Trinity (Les’s Bar #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga”

Book Review: Ignite (Ignite #1) by Nora Phoenix

Despite my love of this author’s works, I delayed reading this series because I burned out on dystopian/post-apocalyptic stories a few years ago. But I’m still a science-fiction geek at heart, bonus points if it involves aliens and alternate history, so I knew these books would eventually make it to the top of the queue.Continue reading “Book Review: Ignite (Ignite #1) by Nora Phoenix”

Book Review: Shah Mat (Shattered Pawns #4) by Jennifer Cody

Read my reviews of the previous books set in this series/world: Diviner’s Game series | Shattered Pawns series Some books are easy to review, no matter the genre. These things happened, the characters were like this, and this is how I felt about it. Some books, on the other hand, are the culmination of halfContinue reading “Book Review: Shah Mat (Shattered Pawns #4) by Jennifer Cody”

Book Review: Shattered Pawns Series by Jennifer Cody

This post includes reviews of the following books in the Shattered Pawns series: Pass (Shattered Pawns #1) I fell in such love with this fascinating urban fantasy world that I devoured this trilogy soon after finishing the first one, Diviner’s Game. A previous antihero, Tio, is now solidly in the hero camp, and I lovedContinue reading “Book Review: Shattered Pawns Series by Jennifer Cody”

Book Review: Soft Hands (Sin Bin: West Coast #2) by E.M. Lindsey

Lindsey treats us to a few of my favorite tropes in the latest installment of their hockey romance series. Poly romance arcs are a particular favorite because it’s like getting multiple story arcs for the price of one, and as usual, Lindsey upends every expectation by creating a unique dynamic between three well-developed characters. Plus,Continue reading “Book Review: Soft Hands (Sin Bin: West Coast #2) by E.M. Lindsey”
