Roberts really are the masters of the alien romance. Their world building is so capitivating and characters so life like. Always excited to find another book by them I haven't read yet.

A cozy modern romantasy that was so cute and fun. I do wish the background characters were a little more fleshed out but I'm keen to see where Crane takes them in the next one.

Saint really is a master of myth retellings. Every sentence is more captivating than the last as she weaves a story of tragedy and triumph.

If you watched Queens Gambit & wished it was a romance then this is perfect for you! I don’t even like chess that much but Hazelwood had me caring about the game almost as much as I cared about the characters. Loved it!

Hazelwood has outdone herself. This book had me in a chokehold! I love every second of it and didn’t want it to end. Eli & Rue had such good chemistry and all their friends felt so real & loveable.
I really hope Hazelwood returns to these charactersI’m looking at you Hark & Maya
I really hope Hazelwood returns to these characters

Short & sweet. I would definitely love for this to be a longer story. I slower burn romance from this would be so good! But Chant still manages to capture that feeling in a shorter story. Great!

Hazelwood really is the master of enemies to lovers. I love how she mixed her love of science into a more fantastical world. Plus the chemistry between Misery & Lowe was off the charts.
