  • Alien Romance Book Recommendation: The Host, By Stephenie Meyer

    Alien Romance Book Recommendation: The Host, By Stephenie Meyer

    Book recommendation time! Slightly less well-known compared to her Twilight Series, Stephenie Meyer’s The Host was the first alien romance that I ever read and STILL one of my all time favorite novels. There’s a parallel in this book to Wuthering Heights and the quote: “My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a…

    Reading and Relaxing at Fernandina Beach | Book Recommendation

    I began Sapphire Flames this weekend while relaxing at Fernandina Beach. So far, Book 4 in Ilona Andrews’ Hidden Legacy Series is even better than the first three. I can’t believe I’m already halfway through the series! I need to start reading slower and savoring my time with these amazing characters.

  • New Favorite Paranormal Romance Author: Ali Hazelwood

    New Favorite Paranormal Romance Author: Ali Hazelwood

    Paranormal romance was the first book genre I fell in love with when I started reading for fun in high school. Authors like Sherrilynn Kenyon, Laurell K. Hamilton and Chloe Neill shaped the author I am today. And I can now add another favorite author to that list: Ali Hazelwood! She’s written many MANY contemporary…

  • Book Recommendation | The Raider by Jude Devereux

    If you’re looking to satiate your Bridgerton fix, check out this oldie, but a goodie, The Raider, by Jude Devereux. The heroine in this book falls in love with “The Raider,” a dashing, dangerous bandit who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. She prefers him over the man courting her, a rich…

  • Favorite Monster Romance Book Recommendation

    One of the authors who inspires me and impacted my journey with sci-fi romance and writing alien heroes is R. Lee Smith. I love all her books, especially Cottonwood, Last Hour of Gann, and Heat. All her books are phenomenal, but they’re not for the faint of heart. Lots of trigger warnings. However, if you’re…

  • Book Recommendation | The Shadows Between Us

    Book recommendation time! If you’re looking for a dark YA romance, try The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller. Someone described this book as a “Slytherin” romance, and that perfectly encapsulates the tone and dark humor of this book. From anyone else’s point of view, the hero and heroine would be the villains, and I…

  • Book Recommendation | Fourth Wing

    If you enjoy the houses in Harry Potter, the dragons in Game of Thrones, and underdog heroines who come into their power despite the odds and kick some serious a$$, then you’ll love Fourth Wing. And can we talk about how stunning the print edition is? The cover and internal maps and designs are gorgeous!…

  • Innkeeper Chronicles | Book Recommendation

    My summer 2023 was devoted to reading all books by Ilona Andrews. I fell in love with her Kate Daniels series, devouring all the short stories and spin off novels, and then I jumped right into her Innkeeper Chronicles series, which dare I say, is even better?! The world building is first class, the romance…

  • Book Recommendation | Fantasy Lover

    If you love romance, but you’re looking to dip into the dark side, like paranormal romance, I highly recommend Sherrilyn Kenyon. Book 1 of her Dark Hunter series, Fantasy Lover, was the first paranormal romance I ever read… and since then I’ve never looked back. I met her in person several times, and she is…

  • Book Recommendation | How To Marry A Werewolf

    If you’re like me, you’re probably a fan of genre bending in romance. I LOVE historical romance with paranormal elements, and if you do, too, you’ll like anything written by Gail Carriger. One of my favorite books is How to Marry a Werewolf! It’s the absolute perfect blend of paranormal and historical romance. Her historical…
