For romance reads, have you ever tried the Leviathen Fitness novella series by Ashley Bennett? Very cute, low angst series that focuses on monster/human relationships. Different books focus on body positivity, mlm romance, older-adult romance, and more.
Ooh okay thank you! I’ll check them out

i was walking through a parking lot in the light rain and there was a car with the backseat window open. a tattoo’d hand was sticking out of it with an expensive looking wrist watch holding a cigarette between two fingers.
i couldn’t see their face but goddamn they were hot.

“Flawless”, by Elsie Silver
NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDERAGE READERS
• Rate: 4.5/5.0
• Description:
“The rules were simple. Keep my hands off his daughter and stay out of trouble.
But now I’m stuck with her. There’s only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken.
I’m the face of professional bull riding—the golden boy. Or at least I was, until it all blew up in my face. Now my agent says I have to clean up my image, so I’m stuck with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as my “full-time supervision.”
But I don’t need a goddamn babysitter, especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can’t stop running.
A mouth I can’t stop thinking about.
Because Summer isn’t just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask, and she doesn’t run—she pulls me closer, even when she shouldn’t.
She says this means nothing.
I say this means everything.
She says there are boundaries we shouldn’t cross. That my reputation can’t take any more hits—and neither can her damaged heart.
I say I’m going to steal it anyway.”
• Review:
Flawless is the first book in the Chestnut Springs series, followed by the already published Heartless and the upcoming Powerless, to be published in February, 2023.
Our journey begins when the two main characters, Rhett Eaton and Summer Hamilton, are forced to work and live together to clean up his image after a scandal that lost him some sponsors in the middle of the bull riding championship season.
Although it’s not quite an enemies-to-lovers per sé, we do get that kind of sexual tension between two people who don’t quite like each other and who definitely shouldn’t but surely are feeling a mutual and strong attraction, that become harder and harder to deny as they spend more time together.
The way Elsie Silver told Rhett and Summer’s story is so natural and captivating, it’ll leave you thinking about nothing else but what happens next, whenever your nose is not stuck into this book. The flame between the couple burns slowly in the most positive sense of the word, and we can actually feel the romance and desire building up in their relationship.
But our main couple are not the only ones to make us laugh, swoon and sigh. Cade, Beau and Harvey Eaton, Jasper Gervais, Kip Hamilton and Willa Grant, all have such different personalities and unique dynamics with each of the MCs that it’s almost impossible not to want to read more and more about them as well. Good thing Flawless is not their first and only appearance *wink wink*.
To all of those who love an easy reading featuring an adorable, hot and well-written romance, Flawless is surely going to make your heart race and your body heat increase in the most delicious of ways.

The Daevabad Trilogy
This was my first S.A. Chakraborty book and just count me in as an eternal fan. I loved the complexity of the world building. The character development was beautiful and I just could not put this series down
Hamnet
Absolutely devastating book. This is a book about Shakespeare for people who do not care about Shakespeare. Crushed me. cw: child death and illness
A Restless Truth
Freya Marske never misses for me. Another incredibly fun romp filled with strong sapphic characters and delightful magic.
Book Lovers
After absolutely HATING People We Meet on Vacation I was really worried I wouldn't enjoy this, but this is easily my favorite Emily Henry book. I was squealing and kicking my feet the whole time.
The Big Bad Wolf series
Werewolf detective and his human partner investigate crime. It's SO fun and engaging and spicy and just really flips the Alpha dynamics on their head.
Unnatural Magic
I can't even explain what this book did to me. Murder and bigotry investigation on top of a fantastic orc/human relationship. This book does some fascinating stuff with gender, too.
All the Living and the Dead
Fascinating exploration on the hidden parts of the death industry. Not for the faint of heart though.
The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen
Another KJ Charles in! Always adorable and sweet and engaging. Upstanding boy and his criminal boyfriend deal with worse criminals.
The Burning series
Tau Solarin is my murder himbo. Get that revenge baby!
Elantris
I feel like this is one of the lesser known/underappreciated Brando Sando books but it does some fantastic things with religion and economics. Loved it!
The Game series
I would crawl over broken glass for more books from this series. I'm OBSESSED with everything about it. SUPER spicy and kink based romances. Obsessed obsessed.
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi
LOVED this middle aged Muslim inspired pirate adventure! Another Chakraborty banger!

book review || Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly
video review || Raid My Shelves 6: Reading Vlog — BOTM Books
Right out of the gate, holy crap this was cute and sweet and pure, with a solid helping of spice too.
I fell in love with London and Dahlia, each of their personalities really sprung off the page, their voices were well distinguished, and they had great banter and chemistry. The pacing was solid when it came to their romance, balancing between a whirlwind vacation fling and a serious start to something real, which really impressed me.
With the setting of a cooking show, I knew I’d be hooked by all the food talk and I was! The fun adventures they took and the little moments which occurred between them were tender and sweet, all had me squealing. However, I will say, as far as stakes go, this didn’t quite hold up. Contestants disappeared and I wasn’t sure when or how it happened a lot of the time and when one of our MCs is in danger of being kicked off, the results would be stated in a very anti-climatic way.
The handling of London’s identity was well done. Even when another contestant misgenders them, it isn’t explicitly stated on the page! Their father wasn’t accepting of their identity, which did cause some heart-aching moments, but thankfully, didn’t turn into an angsty, dramatic arc that took away from the main story. The respect given to London as a character was fantastic.
I really liked Dahlia as well. Chaotic, bubbly, high on life, she was just entertaining to read about and was so, so protective of London. She just wants to find new happiness for herself but is terrified of disappointing the people she cares about. The discussion with her mom seemed so healthy and wholesome, particularly after the third act conflict. While that drama did make sense and I could understand where both side were coming from, it did seem a little over the top.
The grand gesture had me swooning. I can’t wait to see more from this author.
4 / 5 stars
