★ How was your reading this month? Did you discover any new favorites? I didn’t read as much as I typically do this month, and didn’t get to all of the books I wanted to, but that’s okay! Tomorrow I start my first day of grad school (MFA candidate, woot woot) and my first day teaching college English, so my month has been pretty devoted to that! I’m nervous, ready to get started, and looking forward to what the future brings. The one book at the top of my September reading list is @elise.kova’s A Duel with the Vampire Lord, the third book in Elise’s Married to Magic series! It just released a couple of weeks ago, and has been one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I love this series and am excited to continue in the world! Description: As the forge maiden of Hunter's Hamlet, Floriane wasn't supposed to be out on the night of the Blood Moon. But when her brother's in danger, she'll take up a silver sickle against the Vampire Lord himself. In Floriane, Ruvan sees a potential end to the centuries-long curse that's plagued his people. But first, she has to survive the monsters that lurk in his world of night. Bound in blood, the enemies become unlikely allies. Loyalties are tested and the lines between truth and lie, hate and passion, are blurred. Thank you Elise and @bookofmatchesmedia for the opportunity to read this one! ★ HASHTAGS // #EliseKova #ADealWithTheElfKing #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADuelWithTheVampireLord #MarriedToMagic #BOMMtours

💬 What was your last 5-star read? 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘥. 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘺𝘦𝘳. Well, it appears I've found myself a new auto-buy author! I haven't been able to read fantasy in months... I started this one and was shocked to see I couldn't put it down! This is easily one of my favorite reads so far this year. This story had everything I love: adventure, quirky banter, and a slow-burn relationship that I was 100% on board with! I truly loved everything about this story, and Elise's writing style was such an added bonus. There isn't a single thing I would change about this story. Though this cover is what first caught my eye, the story is just as gorgeous. "Cinderella meets The Cruel Prince" is the perfect way to describe this story. If you're at all intrigued by my review (albeit vague, totally on purpose), please do yourself a favor and read this one! This is book 2 in the Married to Magic series, but all books in the series can be read as standalones. You can find the purchase link in my bio! Thank you to @elise.kova & @bookofmatchesmedia for gifting me this copy! . . . h a s h t a g s : #lilbookrec #lilbookreview #EliseKova #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADealWithTheElfKing #MarriedToMagic #BOMMTours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BOMMARCTour #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookblogger #bookreview #reviewers #lovebeige #bookaholic #thecreative #mycozyretreat #livethelittlethings #gorgeouscovers #bookreviewersofinstagram #goodreads #betweencozymoments #booktography #hyggebookstyle #thepursuitofcosiness #readandchill (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxa-VhnP9U/?utm_medium=tumblr

“This world is dark and the night is unyielding; the least we can do is fill it with sweet, forbidden dreams.” - A Duel with the Vampire Lord . . 🌟QOTD: do you have a favorite vampire? . . 🎉 HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO @elise.kova AND A DUEL WITH THE VAMPIRE LORD!! . I absolutely LOVED this book!! Its no secret that I am a sucker for Elise's married to magic series!! Each story in the series is a stand alone but based in the same world. This one truly felt like its own world though. Especially since the vampires are so far removed from the rest of Midscape, you really didn't need to know anything about the world or its magic to understand it or fall in love with it! This book had all the best things including enemies to lovers, slow burn, vampires and of course magic and curses!

★ What’s on your August agenda? I got this ARC of @elise.kova’s A Duel with the Vampire Lord in the mail recently, and am looking forward to starting it later this week! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Elise’s Married of Magic series, it’s great for fellow fans of fantasy romance. This one releases August 18th! (Check comments for description!) Later this month I also begin my grad school and teaching journey! I’ll be starting my pursuit of an MFA in creative writing, and I’ll be teaching first-year college composition. I’m both excited to get the ball rolling and a whole ball of anxious energy. 🤣 I have many days of orientations and training coming up, and it’s looking to be a busy August! Especially with the kiddos starting school in a couple weeks too (plus soccer, and gymnastics, and jujitsu 😅). A couple weeks ago I moved my desk back over to this window and am glad I did. It’s much nicer to “work” in a space I can stare distractedly out the window from. 😂 ★ HASHTAGS //    #EliseKova #ADanceWithTheFaePrince #ADealWithTheElfKing #ADuelWithTheVampireLord #ADWTVLARCTour #MarriedToMagic #BOMMTours #BOMMIndieAuthors #BOMMARCTour #BookOfMatchesMedia #bookstagram #currentlyreading #desksofinstagram #bookaesthetic #toberead #librariesofinstagram #desksetup #deskdecor #fantasyromance #romantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CgvDJp5PIg4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I spent my whole life at the whim of others, waiting to see what they’ll do to me next; I’m not waiting anymore.” - A Dance with the Fae Prince . . 🌟QOTD: what color would you want your faery wings to be? . . HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO @elise.kova AND A DANCE WITH THE FAE PRINCE!! Oh my gosh friends I am soooooo excited that this beauty is officially out in the world!! While this book is based in the same world as A Deal with the Elf King, it’s completely its own story and can be read on its own! This book does start out a bit slower but when it picks up ohhhh WOW!! I absolutely loved the adventure our main character Katria goes on throughout this story. From page 1 I immediately was drawn to her character and really enjoyed the Cinderella connections!! Like the first book, the biggest downside for me is I NEED more of these characters!! I am so reluctant to let all these new amazing characters go but hopefully they will make an appearance in book 3!! I cannot recommend this book (and series) enough!! You can find a purchase link in my bio and I’ll also have it in my stories!! Plus this title is available on Kindle Unlimited!!!

★ Fae, mer, elf, or vampire?    Happy Book Birthday @elise.kova!  The wait is over and A Dance with the Fae Prince is finally here! I read an ARC a few weeks ago, and it’s definitely in my top reads of the year. I loved everything about the story and was swept away.    I loved the elements of Cinderella, as well as Psyche and Eros, and how they were woven into the story. It was so well done! You can expect a wicked stepmother, a hand sold in marriage, a manor house on the edge of the forbidden wood, a mysterious new husband, and the wild fae your parents always warned you about.    Fans of romance (like me!), will rejoice too! A Dance with the Fae Prince has a swoony, slow burn romance that totally pays off with some steamy scenes that I think will delight fans of upper YA and adult romance alike.     What I really love about the Married to Magic world, is that Elise Kova has taken the contemporary romance model of standalone novels with a HEA, and has given that model a fantasy makeover. Like we see in many contemporary romance series, the world may be the same, the characters may crossover, but each novel itself is its own standalone story, and that’s what we have here. It’s *so* refreshing to see in a genre that sees most fantasy romances have stories spanning trilogies or longer. I really hope Elise is at the forefront of a new trend here!    I will include the description in the comments, and there is a link in my bio! Thank you to Elise and @bookofmatchesmedia for the chance to read A Dance with the Fae Prince early!    ★ CURRENTLY //  🎧 Priest by Sierra Simone (reread!)  📖 Eternal Sin by Ariana Nash    ★ TOUR TAGS //
