Rose and Fionn 🫠. The Ruinous Love Trilogy is perfection. Leave it to Brynne Weaver to always be there to pull me out of a slump. I always enjoy her writing and the way it pulls me away from reality and I can get lost with these characters. 

As much as I didn’t want to ever finish this trilogy, Fionn and Rose’s story was the perfect ending. I cannot tell you which Kane brother is my favorite but finally getting Rose’s story and getting the epilogue was the perfect way to close the curtain on this stabby family.

Ok friends let me introduce you to Landyn Hill! Her Debut novel is a must read. 

Cowboys✅

Trauma✅

Spicy✅

Stalking✅

And I’m not talking a measly few weeks or month stalking. If you love a grumpy man with a gooey center that stalks you for YEARS and is patient and kind and mean all at the same time then babes, Augustus Dobbs is the man of your dreams.

Stetson is stubborn and sassy. She is constantly at war with herself. The trauma of her past constantly weighs on her and tries to control her every decision. 

This story isn’t a damsel in distress. Stetson is fierce and does not need anybody to save her. Augustus’ support and patience provides her with strength and grounds her. Truly an amazing story.

I’m thinking February is gonna be Enemies to Lovers for me. 

These kind of enemies you know where it’s not like I just don’t like you it’s more like I want to kill you, plan to kill you, need to kill you are the best kind. Love a MMC that stalks for months, some call it creepy others call it dedication, or devotion. Either way it’s kinda romantic. If you like a FMC that has family obligations and is the one that forces the MMC hand into marriage add this book to your TBR. When both characters are so untrusting of each other when they discover each other’s secrets it’s just that much more delicious. 

Rae does an amazing job at telling both main characters story to a point that I actually didn’t have a favorite.

I had been in a reading slump and this book just pulled me out of it. Enemies to Lovers 😘. Ok so this whole mafia thing. Yes, please sign me up. This story took me on the best edge of my seat ride which I did not see coming. Konstantin is just the way I like my MMC. Deadly. This book is angsty and when you get introduced to the Korolov brothers I think it’s hard to choose which one I’m looking forward getting to know better. This series is going to be one of my favorites this year.

Feast of Fools by Naomi Loud

In the city of Pravitia the favorites of the God’s are like Gods themselves. Love chaos and trickery? Well Gemini will have you on a leash and allowing him to feed you while you become his doll. When Veil came to Pravitia being tricked and webbed toGemini was the last thing she wanted. Following her story and watching her try to weave through tricks and discover who she is entertaining. This book had me saying “oh Gemini” and “aww Gemini”. He is the favorite of The God of Trickery and he is my favorite. If you like groveling this book has the perfect amount.

Oh nerdy quirky Josh. He was hilarious. I need a whole book in his POV. I listened to this book and the narrators did an amazing job bring these characters to life. This is a great book if you are looking to dip your toes into dark romance. This is a fun listen and read with a splash of darkness.
