    This story really echos the writing style Katee Robert uses in the Neon Gods series. Not quite as much character development in this books, which meant I had far less invested in the outcome.

    ✔️ Dual POVs (Luca x Cami) ✔️ Set in fictional island of Ys ✔️ Open-door contemporary romance (4/5 🌶️) 💔 Why they can’t be together: She’s a princess and he’s a traumatized aristocrat ✔️ Tropes: Danger banging, romantic suspense

    My love for Tana French’s Dublin Detective series has carried me through the slow, quiet pacing of the Cal Hooper series. This is a lovely book to read and imagine Ireland, but don’t expect it to keep you up late at night (I feel asleep 4+ times while reading it).

    The time jumps throughout this novella were unnecessarily in a volume this slim.

    ✔️ Single POVs (Jackson) ✔️ Set in NYC ✔️ Open-door contemporary romance (4/5 🌶️) 💔 Why they can’t be together: It's right there in the title ✔️ Tropes: Brother's best friend, age gap

    The plot and conflict were all here to feast upon! However, I'd approach with a little caution. The book was simply written in a different time, and her brother's storyline is handled with more trepidation than you'd expect from a current book.

    ✔️ Triple POVs (Adam x Miranda with a side plot from her brother, Jess) ✔️ Set in NYC ✔️ Open-door contemporary romance (3.5/5 🌶️) 💔 Why they can’t be together: She's writing a book about his restaurant and keeping secrets ✔️ Tropes: Workplace romance; enemies to lovers

    This was a readable book that hit all the notes you’d expect. The overall effect did nothing for me. I much prefer the grittiness of a Cate C. Wells MC novel.

    ✔️ Dual POVs (Copper x Michelle) ✔️ Set in a fictional U.S. town ✔️ Open-door contemporary romance (4.5/5 🌶️) 💔 Why they can’t be together: He’s older than her ✔️ Tropes: Age gap (16 years); motorcycle club

    Sarah Blue will always make me devour a book, and this is no exception. This was actually a slower build than most omegaverse books — and no packs were involved!

    ✔️ Dual POVs (Smith x Deja) ✔️ Set in NYC ✔️ Open-door omegaverse romance (4.5/5 🌶️) 💔 Why they can’t be together: He’s her bodyguard ✔️ Tropes: Bodyguard romance; rock star romance; omegaverse romance ⚠️ CW: Revenge p0rn

    This series is heating up! Now that the universe is well developed, the plot can really shine through. Book #4 in this series was a fun, page-turner with plenty of romance and suspense. Fans of current romantasy like Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, and Fourth Wing should absolutely check out this backlist series!

    ✔️ Single POVs (Kate Daniels) ✔️ Set in post-apocalyptic Atlanta, Georgia ✔️ Open-door fantasy romance (2.5/5 🌶️) 💔 Why they can’t be together: He’s the leader of all shapeshifters and she’s a magic policewoman ✔️ Tropes: Fantasy romance; romantasy; urban romance
