What I'm reading

The nightstand.

A few of my faves of the genre and a current look at my shelf. Not sponsored, definitely not comprehensive, and just for fun!

Good at Being Alive

by Elizabeth O'Roark · romance

Our main characters, Bex and Theo, must navigate the aftermath of a tragic accident that cost Bex her entire family, including her father, the co-owner of Theo's company. Now forced together to film the reality show that was meant to shoot before tragedy struck, the two of them must find a way to convince the world they've fallen in love. I never ever get tired of reading Elizabeth's work. If there's one person who can balance the fragility of grief with a romance that's still light and sexy, it's her.

Essential Reading

Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli book cover
LOVED IT

Heartless Hunter

Kristen Ciccarelli · romantasy

With the current boom in romantasy, sometimes it can be hard to find a truly fresh premise, so stumbling on this book was like striking gold. Gripping from page one.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne cover
A COMFORT REREAD

The Hating Game

Sally Thorne · enemies to lovers

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love men who yearn. Joshua Templeman is a yearning final boss and I once reread this three times in the same year.

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow book cover
Recommend

Starling House

Alix E. Harrow · horror romantasy

Considering the horror-lite context, this was a surprisingly sweet and tender entry into the romantasy genre that I thought about for weeks after finishing.

Have a recommendation for me? I'd love to read it.
