I didn’t want to put this book down. What I thought I was getting based on the cover : a cozy fantasy about dragons.
What I actually got: another five star story I couldn’t put down about a 31 year old female. A tale of love, longing, magic, and what happens in the dark corners of a kingdom when history is erased, secrets are kept and people are ignorant or care more about themselves than others. 

It makes you question what the right thing to do is. It makes you contemplate weather it’s okay to fight harder for someone you love, or someone that’s been oppressed. 

And did I mention there’s DRAGONS? Can’t go wrong with dragons. 


I literally am on pins and needles for the next book. This one leaves off on a cliffhanger.

This has been my first book by Laura Pavlov. I’m now a girl obsessed. My favorite character was actually beefcake, and I hope we continue to see plenty of him in any future Rosewood books! 


The story follows a hockey superstar fresh off a Stanley cup win, with an injury that left him needing a physical therapist to help him recover before the new season starts. 


Eloise is a brand new hire, and the coach’s daughter. Assigned by the team to move to Clark’s hometown for the summer to focus solely on his PT and recovery. 

Honestly, it was x2 forbidden, and 100% bound to happen. 

The heat, the chemistry, the feelings. The found family. Nothing was lacking in Elosie’s journey to find a man she’s “Over the Moon” for. 

And I just love Clark’s nephew, Beefcake. The child has more game than most grown men, and is surprisingly sweet and insightful. He’s absolutely HILARIOUS, and reminds me so much of my own goofy son. 

Tropes incluce:
Grumpy/Sunshine
Forbidden Romance
Small town
Hockey
HE FALLS FIRST (my favorite 😍)
Found family
Coach’s daughter/ player
Workplace romance
And more. ❤️

The first book in a series by one of my favorite indie author’s. Jaclyn weaves a story of magic, and yearning into every page. Von and Sage are one of my favorite couples! Based losely off of Hades and Persephone, this series has a little bit of something for every one.

Oh. My. God. 

This book was an INSANE ride. Tons of action, mysterious, interesting, different. AMAZING. The world building was great, but not overly complicated. 

And can we talk about an unreliable narrator? Like YES! 

And the cliffhanger? Please do this to me again. 🤯

OMG. Tessa Hale NEVER fails to deliver. The second book in the Crescent series is fantastic. And so far, it’s been my favorite of her series to date. Another heart-stopping, foot kicking, squeal inducing why choose shifter romance. 

Alot of this book is spent building and repairing the bonds between the characters. And in romance, groveling, and high stakes. 

I can’t wait to see what awaits Wren and her Wolves in the next installment! If you haven’t picked this up yet…don’t sleep on this one. 

It’s got 
fated mates 
Wolf shifters
Spice
A tough FMC who’s in hiding

And so much more.
