Here are a couple of 4.25/5⭐️ romantasy books that I‘ve read recently and enjoyed more than I expected to. They are both first books (the Williams in a duology and not sure how many more for Gregovic).

That Sleepless cover though…#coverlove💛.

Here are my GR reviews if interested:

No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson | Gardiner Harris

pick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Current front runner for my best nonfiction read of 2025. This is going to piss you off, but it‘s an important read, so please I urge you to pick it up. So many scandals. These companies DO NOT CARE. They just don‘t. Please also add Empire of Pain by the incredible Patrick Radden Keefe to your TBR, if you haven‘t read it yet.

#coverlove

Amiable Reading this right now! And I wholeheartedly second your recommendation of “Empire of Pain” —that is a fabulous, infuriating read. 1mo

JenReadsAlot Empire of Pain was excellent @Amiable 1mo

britt_brooke @Amiable @JenReadsAlot I had the pleasure of hearing him speak and get my book signed. I still need to read Say Nothing, but Empire of Pain and Rogues were excellent! 1mo

Amiable @britt_brooke “Say Nothing” is also great! And the series adaptation of it on FX/Hulu was fantastic. 1mo

JenReadsAlot Those are on my shelf waiting to be read! 1mo

fredthemoose Empire of Pain is one of the best books I‘ve ever read 1mo

britt_brooke @fredthemoose So good!! 1mo

britt_brooke @Amiable I need to get to it asap! 1mo

The Book of Heartbreak | Ova Ceren

pick

This romantic fantasy was entertaining but started slowly for me. The second half of the book was definitely more engaging as secrets came to light (finally), and the action picked up.
The supernatural world of angels brought wry humor and a foreshadowing of the (sometimes dangerous, sometimes heartbreaking) skeletons in the closet for several members of the cast. Ceren did a good job of weaving various storylines together to make a cohesive and🔻

robinb entertaining whole.

All in all, I found the characters root-worthy, the plotline intriguing and the writing itself well done. Other than the pacing being a little off for me, it was an entertaining read. 4/5⭐️ #coverlove 1mo

Wild Reverence | Rebecca Ross

Loved this 500+ page epic set in the world of the gods from the Divine Rivals series (which I haven‘t read…yet. But do plan to remedy 😂).
My review is a bit long-winded. 😉

Through an Open Window | Pamela Terry

pick

This is my 3rd book from Terry, and they‘ve all been 5⭐️. Great characters (parent/siblings dynamics), great sense of place (Georgia), humorous with even a little magical realism thrown in…just all-around feel good read. If you enjoy contemporary Southern-set stories, I recommend her.
