“Glory” by Aria Daze is an absolute gem! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book had me hooked from page one with its delightful blend of romance, humor, and depth. The author skillfully weaves together the “why choose” romance trope, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as they root for the captivating characters and their complicated love story.
What truly sets “Glory” apart are the important themes it tackles with grace and authenticity. From navigating homophobia to exploring the journey of sobriety and healing from religious trauma, the story delves into sensitive topics with care and understanding. The representation of plus-size and polyamorous characters adds a refreshing layer of diversity, making the narrative feel all the more relatable and inclusive.
Daze’s writing is witty, heartfelt, and utterly addictive. I found myself laughing out loud one moment and reaching for tissues the next. “Glory” is a must-read for anyone seeking a heartwarming romance that goes beyond the surface to explore the complexities of love, identity, and acceptance.

Glory is a woman in charge of her body, embracing her hypersexuality after years of repression from her strict, religious upbringing. She decides to cut loose one night and runs into Frankie, her childhood best friend she’s missed but can’t forgive. It doesn’t go well, but the emotion of that encounter leads her to Cash--who she worries she’s too much for. He finally convinces her to give him a chance, but Frankie wants his forgiveness. Glory doesn’t think she can have them both--they’re determined to prove her wrong, and maybe even get something separate for themselves.
This book was emotional, surprising, romantic and erotic in the best possible way. Watching these two men refuse to let their reason run away from them captured my heart. Taking the reins from Glory and giving her permission to feel, and relax was the kind of indulgence love should be. Frankie’s family and his recovery really gave him layers and I was so happy that what he and Glory lost with their families, they could find with Cash’s. Cash’s generosity and his sometimes submissive personality was so attractive. Glory was spunky and wonderful, and when she learned to be vulnerable--she was everything.
