*Note: This is the second in the series and it definitely isn’t a standalone so treat yourself and read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries. I can’t tell you how excited I was to delve back into the world of Emily Wilde! The diary entry delivery gives this series a distinctly cozy fantasy feel as the urgency isn’t as sharp as in other stories. This just shows me that cozy fantasy is absolutely my jam because I am in love with […]

I think 3.5 stars is my true rating for Never Met a Duke Like You. A cute historical romance with a light amount of angst that really serves up a delicious amount of snark and snipes between Vesper and Aspen.

Aspen is intense and he was so much fun to […]

It’s rare when I come across a book that I desperately want to live inside. I’m going to start this out with a confession… I enjoyed this one more than Legends and Lattes. But I mean, when I say enjoyed… I mean I want to force everyone I know to read this book. You, dear reader. I am attempting to peer pressure you into reading this gem of a cozy fantasy.  A young Viv gets the taste of the slow […]
