Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Humbug is a quiet Christmas novel with an age gap romance. I found it a relaxing and wholesome read, but it’s an unbalanced workplace romance. The book struggled to decide if it wanted to focus on the characters’ careers, or their love story. Ellie is a brilliant statisticianRead More
Nat reviews The Headmistress by Milena McKay
Amazon Affiliate Link The first thing you should know before you start The Headmistress is not to make assumptions. You may think a book involving Three Dragons Academy is set in a fantasy world and might contain, well, dragons. You may assume a book called The Headmistress will be a kinkcentric read. (Ahem, as in,Read More
Nat reviews Thorn by Anna Burke
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link My recent infatuation with the Compass Rose series should have been all the warning I needed not to start an Anna Burke book just before bedtime.

Mallory Lass reviews Lily and the Crown by Roslyn Sinclair
I couldn’t find a way to write this review without spoilers, so you may want to proceed with caution if that’s a deal breaker. Also, this book wasn’t my jam.
