Book Review : The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy

Book Review : The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy

In my advanced age, I’ve come to prefer friends-to-lovers over enemies-to-lovers. I’ve found the latter to be a trope that’s nearly impossible to execute well, often rushing past the trust and transformation that make these romances truly satisfying. But every now and then, a truly—shall we say—irresistible premise comes along, and I wade back into the genre. The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, with its slow-burn romance between […]

Book Review : The Undercutting Of Rosie and Adam

Book Review : The Undercutting Of Rosie and Adam

The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam tries very hard to make its demi-god main character, Rosie, likeable and relatable, but it falls woefully short with its six foot five beauty.

What’s not to like? Well it turns out for me, mostly everything, […]

Book Review : Rebel Witch

Book Review : Rebel Witch

Rebel Witch is the anticipated follow up to Heartless Hunter, a romantasy involving the forbidden feelings between a witch named Rune and a witch Hunter named Gideon. Though I’ve come to view enemies to lovers as a romantic trope that is almost impossible to flawlessly pull off, I really enjoyed Heartless Hunter and watching the cat and mouse relationship between Gideon and Rune unfold. Unfortunately, Rebel Witch didn’t manage to […]
