Honeymoon for One by Keira Andrews
4.0
Man Keira Andrews never misses. I thought this was going to be a silly fluffy story from the cover, but no, it's deeply romantic, touching, and life-affirming. I love how her characters aren't perfect romance archetypes and seem to have real and complex lived experiences. I love the sense of place in this book and how it gets much of the lingo right (to my non-Aussie brain). Goddamn I can keep going on about how this is the perfect contemporary romance book ever.

Psync by Zile Elliven
This is the closest you can get to a self-indulgent anime fanfic without it being an anime fanfic. If you're fine with a Japanese international student calling a complete stranger "chibisuke" and people getting *glomped*, by all means have a go.
Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale
4.25
Memorable read as both as a dark fantasy book and as an MM book. The relationship between two leads develops organically and they have their own emotionally repressed dynamic which seems natural in the Victorian-era inspired setting. I like that they're absolute weirdos with many unattractive traits, it makes their chemistry even more special.
Lovely book with such an intriguing world and complex characters. I only wish there were more stories set in this world. It's a bleak world they're in yet the characters have an understated dignity no matter how much suffering they've had to endure. I'll definitely recommend this book and will read Ginn Hale's other works.
