The Half King by Melissa Landers
4.0
I read The Half King a few months ago and I really enjoyed it! I liked the twisty nature of the plot and how the FMC was sheltered yet smart enough to question the status quo. There was mystery, adventure, monsters, magic, and secret truths to uncover—what else could you want from a fantasy? The icing on the cake was the absolutely delightful romance. I am very excited to see what happens in the next book!
Spice: 🌶️🌶️ (fairly graphic and on page)

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
5.0
Holy mackerel!!! This book is my new favorite Ali Hazelwood book and I don’t even know what to do with myself now that it’s over. I was not prepared to stop what I was doing to stand with my jaw agape during so many scenes or to cry my little eyeballs out with joy and grief. The empath in me was struggling hard!!! Ali really created the most beautiful story about two young adults entering into a mutually beneficial arrangement filled with so much trust, humor, emotional devastation, and spice. Whet indeed! I commend how very delicate situations were handled throughout the story. Not only did the characters in Deep End made my heart squeeze with love but the story will live rent free in my mind for a very long time. Plus, if you loved previous books by Ali, you might see a familiar face or two. I’m literally about to cry because I wish this story never ended!
🎧 The audiobook for Deep End was immaculate; I didn’t even notice it was duet narration (there was a male voice actor for the male characters in addition to the main female narrator) until I was about half way through! I usually find that type of narration jarring but I absolutely LOVED it! I loved the emotions and accents brought forth in this audiobook narration. I’m literally obsessed. I already want to re-read it.
I RECOMMEND IF:
If you’re looking for a sports romance that isn’t your typical hockey, baseball, or football story, and you like a rom-com with a lot of spice (and a little k!nk) then Deep End is absolutely for you!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• College sports romance (they’re junior and seniors)
• Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (several on page scenes, moderately graphic, exploration of k!nk)
• He falls first
• He is protective of her
• She had a college sports injury
• Witty banter
• Complicated family histories
• Unflinching loyalty
• In their lane, unbothered (pretending but close enough), moisturized
