I thought this was a very fun read, a mix of romance, fantasy, and a deep sense of what it means to be a good person. I think this is a fitting tribute to Pratchett and it certainly continues my enjoyment of Rowland’s works.

A romance story between a pilot in the fast lane and an ornithologist trying to find some peace, this book was quite fun. The beginning was a bit rough for me, but the second half of the book was very sweet and I teared up by the end. No graphic sexual content, which probably should but did surprise me in a romance novel.

A fun little romance set in a small fishing village on the isle of Skye in Scotland. It focuses on medical personnel (a medical woman/midwife and a trained physician).

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
A lot more sexual than expected and not in a way I wanted to read. Cool idea, kinda schlocky, but could have been fun.
