Tell me how you feel about her, Mr. Sharpe.

Off to a running start... or riding to be more exact. 🐎

I already like Rune. That "choice"–in her past–was a lose/lose scenario. 💔

The next chapter is the first from Gideon's POV.

Bree is back and the Legendborn Cycle continues in Oathbound, on shelves March 4, 2025.

Severed from the Legendborn. Oathbound to a monster.

Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe.

But Bree’s decision has come with a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demon underworld, and the Legendborn secret society. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree has put her future in the Shadow King’s hands—and unwittingly bound herself to do his bidding as his new protégé.

Meanwhile, the other Scions must face war with their Round Table fractured, leaderless, and missing its Kingsmage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Order’s Merlins, he invokes an ancient law that requires the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Keep and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand of them…or what secrets he has kept hidden from the Table.

As a string of mysterious kidnappings escalates and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how hard Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.

Have you seen the cover for A Throne of Wings and Embers by Emilia Jae?

They say the wrath of a female scorned could rival that of the gods. But the wrath of two vengeful queens will set the realm ablaze.

Now the protagonist in so many tales over the years takes back the narrative to literally become the author of her own story. After years of being silenced, she's letting her voice be heard again… and it's compelling.

Here With Me by Samantha Young has strong characters with an engaging writing style taking place in a beautiful portrayal of Scotland.

New Release: Thank You for Sharing, Rachel Runya Katz

A chemistry-filled childhood friends to enemies to lovers debut romance about two people forced to confront their pasts to save both their relationship and careers.

Daniel Rosenberg and Liyah Cohen-Jackson’s last conversation—fourteen years ago at summer camp—ended their friendship. Until they find themselves seated next to each other on a plane, and bitterly pick up right where they left off. At least they can go their separate ways again after landing... That is, until Daniel's marketing firm gets hired by the Chicago museum where Liyah works as a junior curator, and they’re forced to collaborate with potential career changing promotions on the line. With every meeting and post-work social gathering with colleagues, the tension (and chemistry) between Daniel and Liyah builds until they’re forced to confront why they broke apart years ago at camp. But as they find comfort in their shared experiences as Jews of color and fumble towards friendship, can they ignore their growing feelings for each other? With sexy charm and undeniable wit, Rachel Runya Katz's sparkling debut, Thank You For Sharing, proves that if you're open to love, anything is possible.

The Duchess Effect is a page-turner. I appreciated the romance with the exploration of tokenism and colonialism, which added authenticity to the story. The book had a realness that blurred the lines between reality and fiction.
