Whenever I need a reset, I grab one of these to read or listen to, and five years later Iโ€™m still devouring them when I need something reliable.

๐Ÿ“” ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Fairytale vibes, opposites attract, scarred hero, suspense.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Cal is sent on a bogus security mission for a social media influencer, only to find the threat has been made up to get him - a prince - to visit their home. Instead of falling for the influencer, heโ€™s drawn to their housemaid who has spent years living in their basement.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: I always rate these as a normal book, but if I was to rate it based on vibes itโ€™d probably be much higher. Susan Stoker books are always predictable, but in the best waysโ€ฆ and Iโ€™ll never put them down.

The Royal was a step away from her normal alpha military men, as Cal was a prince and scarred and more charming than alpha. But I loved his inner POV and the end made me tear up. Iโ€™m going right back into the next one, because I get addicted to her series so easily and the read-and-listen is such a great bonus.
