This week I talk about some romance! Wild Things by Jennifer Ashley has a shifter/human psychic pairing. The Duke and the Widow by Christina Diane has a virgin male main character! A Pack for Winter by Eliana Lee is another Cozyverse book I'm loving and just as high heat as Summer's book. Bound By Your Touch by Meredith Duran has Lydia and James' father's switching roles by the end and the couple choosing Toronto as their new home. The delicious and wonderful plantain cake with brown butter frosting can be found by checking out Butter and Spice on Instagram at @butterandspicebakeshop. You won't regret it!

This week I talk about my current reads, two of which unfortunately for me end in cliffhangers: Fated to the Band by KT Strange, a why choose romance with a witch and her five werewolf mates and Silver Santa by Lacey Silks a contemporary romance with a security professional/cop and a billionaire. My other two reads are Bound By Your Touch by Meredith Duran a historical romance between a bluestocking and a rakish viscount and Kidnapped by the Obsessed Dragon by Elle Madearis a Black paranormal romance with a dragon and his human mate.

This week I talk about two small town romances I finished reading that are very different! A Pack for Summer by Eliana Lee is an omegaverse, why choose, cozy romance with HIGH heat! Tonight and Forever by Brenda Jackson was published in 1995 (31 years ago🤯) and is a Black contemporary romance with two main characters who have to work through their past traumas while adjusting to living in a small town. I also talk a bit about Blaze of Memory by Nalini Singh which I'm just about 12% in! If you want to check out the shortbread cookie company, they're @richandrobbi on instagram

This week I talk about two books I've reread because I love to do that: Chasing Savannah by Dria Andersen and Hostage to Pleasure by Nalini Singh. Dria's book is a standalone and Nalini's is book 5 in the series. If you're looking for shifters and a paranormal world either book is a great option and Chasing Savannah has a throuple (a trio) while Hostage to Pleasure is an enemies to lovers!
