Find Me in a Book

IT'S HERE!! Not only are we talking about a beautiful sequel to It Ends With Us, but it is also this lil podcast's 50th episode! I'm so excited to have shared my love of books with y'all for over a year! Definitely stay tuned to the very end to learn about a special surprise!

The Dragon King is looking for a wife.

This news throws the women in my village into a tizzy. The king will be sending out the royal guard to bring women of childbearing age to his castle in Jade City.

There is only one requirement: the woman must carry enough magic to produce an heir for him.

I’m a watered-down human with a mere ten percent dragon magic lineage, I know I won’t be chosen, but for some reason the magic sniffers command me to present myself to the king as a possible wife.

I’m ready to go to Jade City until my mother tells me a terrifying secret. A secret that could get me killed… by the king himself.

Other Books Mentioned:

Frost- C.N Crawford

Blindsided- Amy Daws

The Secret Roommate-Sara Ney

I immediately fell in love with this world, like you can tell that the author is just getting started with everything, i want to know more! Also Kaven understands us book obsessed individuals! I didn't find out until after I read the book that she is very popular on Tiktok and I actually already follow her too! She is one of us. The characters were so effortlessly funny, I instantly knew I would love anything Kaven writes!

A centuries long war, an enchanted wood, and a curse.

Idalia leaves her castle to marry the new king of the Deep, certain that this union will be the final step in saving her kingdom. She must travel through the Florian Wood, a mysterious place shrouded in legend and myth. Things go awry when the Princess is captured by a band of thieves, and they soon discover that the stories of the Wood weren’t just stories afterall. To make matters worse, she is stranded in this nightmare with her rival; A shameless bandit who likes to talk and drink too much. Despite the dangers of the Wood, there is a threat far graver to the both of them–each other. Apart from their warring lands, they have also been cursed by the gods. They can never touch, or they will die and their entire kingdoms with them.

One of my TOP FAVORITE books now!! Seriously the chemistry between these two characters is off the chart and it really sucked me into the story of them!

"Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn’t told her family and now has terrible writer’s block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking—for lack of a better word—on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control—but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline."

With over 123K reviews on Amazon, it might give you a hint on how amazing this book might be, right!?

This is surprisingly a historical romance, i saying surprisingly because it honestly felt like a non fiction (Elizabeth Taylor, anyone?). The characters felt SO REAL!

When we think romance, we think swoon-worthy moments - love letters/texts, and surface-level issues that are solved within the matter of a few pages. But this love was nothing near surface-level. There was love and lust, but there was also loss and betrayal. Mistakes and apologies, some that led to redemption, some that didn't. It was complete, and utter heartbreak in the best way possible.  To be able to read about Evelyn Hugo was an honor, truly.

I read (and also attempted to read) 4 books this past week! It turned out that I loved half and didn't like the other half. Weird how that worked! Here they are:

The Grump Girl's Friday (don't recommend)- Sofia Summers

Does It Hurt? (REALLY don't recommend)- H.D.Carlton

When Gracie Met The Grump (LOVED LOVED LOVED)- Mariana Zapata

The Simple Wild (LOVED)- K.A.Tucker

This series is an unforgettable, worldwide bestselling saga of one boy, one dragon, and a world of adventure! Husband shares the romance part with us along with a synopsis of the action. Very fun listen!

I wanted to post a mini episode today because on Thursday an episode with the Husband will be posted! I didn't want to leave you hanging with nothing for Tuesday, so here we are :)

Broken Bonds had great character building and the storyline kept my attention for mostly the whole time through the 3 books I read. But let me warn you, Reverse Harem's are not for the faint of heart. This series is SPICY. Also major cliffhanger at the end of the 3rd book, its killing me not knowing what is going on!

She’s got his back.

Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.

He’s got her heart.

Jack Stapleton’s a household name—captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.

They’ve got a secret.

When Jack’s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah—against her will and her better judgment—finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says no one will believe it.

What could possibly go wrong???

Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done.

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business.

And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
