A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab
“A Darker Shade of Magic” by VE Schwab, a fantasy masterpiece, captivates with intricate worldbuilding. Schwab crafts four distinct Londons, each with a unique essence. The plot, subtle and compelling, unfolds with well-placed foreshadowing. Pacing improves as the story snowballs, leading to an emotional journey. Memorable characters like Rhy and Kell shine, but Holland steals the spotlight. An unmissable entry in the fantasy genre.

The Naughty List by Jade West
“The Naughty List” by Jade West pleasantly surprised me. It’s unabashed erotica, not a traditional romance. Holiday-themed, Ella’s journey into s*x work is a spicy escapade, progressing from vanilla to intense kinks. Diverse encounters and a satisfying ending make it an enjoyable erotic read. Check content warnings for a tailored experience.

Consider Me by Becka Mack
“Consider Me” by Becka Mack nails the pacing, avoiding instant love in favor of a gradual, earned connection. It delves into characters’ lives apart, providing a deep understanding. Olivia, determined and seeking true love, contrasts with Carter, an NHL playboy averse to love until Olivia makes him work for it. A quintessential hockey romance with the right blend of sport, romance, spice, and character development. Highly recommended for spicy hockey romance enthusiasts and romance lovers alike!

Final Offer by Lauren Asher
Avoiding the finale of what I love is a thing, so it took me a year to dive into Final Offer by Lauren Asher, concluding the Dreamland Billionaires series. Callahan Kane stole my heart as the ultimate favorite brother, struggling with self-love and trust. The narrative’s realistic portrayal of addiction and emotional battles resonated, making it a stand-out in romance. Highly recommended, even as a standalone.

Prince Hudson by Lily Cahill
Prince Hudson by Lily Cahill was good but left me wanting more. The 150-page limit hindered relationship development. Insta-love felt rushed, but Kay showed promise. With more pages, her growth could shine. Spice was decent.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
Finally picked up The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, and boy, was it worth it! This cute and sweet romance had me giggling wildly at 2 AM. Olive, a smart and independent character, takes charge, leading to the hilarious fake relationship with Adam, the supposed ‘big, bad jerk.’ Their palpable chemistry and miscommunication struggles make this a must-read for romance lovers. Highly recommended!
