Henry, king of Elben, must tie 6 wives to 6 palaces to keep the country safe. When Queen Boleyn & Queen Seymour become friends, a truth of the kingdom‘s magic long buried will be brought to light.

What a lush fantasy! So much political intrigue, a fantastical reimagining of history, & sapphic pining. The romance could have been developed more for me, & I would have liked more of the other queens. But I was enthralled the whole time.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This was just a wonderful and compelling second chance romance from a debut author! June, a struggling actor, and Adam, her former best friend and talented chef, used to live together at 74 Perry street. They are both shocked to find out that their former landlord has died and left the brownstone to them as joint new owners. June and Adam haven't spoken for 5 years after a friendship breakup that left them both hurting and angry.

CoffeeK8 They move back into the brownstone again and finally talk about what happened and what it means for their relationship going forward. Thank you to #Netgalley and #BallantineBooks for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. 2d

The voice actor who narrated Wally did a phenomenal job. It was exaggerated wholesomeness that came across as so creepy. Loved it. While I enjoyed the listen, the book itself is too obvious, which meant the twist was a huge letdown. Still appreciated the chance to listen. Thanks #netgalley

I really liked this Christian fiction by Jill Eileen Smith! Great fiction faith-filled writing . My first by this author. I will have to get more of her books because I really liked this one. A fictional story of what maybe might have happened from her point of view. I can only imagine what it was like to walk with Christ face to face. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pub Day was 20 May 2025

Four people travel back in time to relive an important memory. When they are stuck in the past after their allotted hour has run out, they wonder whether they might be able to stay in the past and change the events that made them come back. Although the four people don't know each other it is soon clear that they might actually share the pivotal moment in their lives. ⬇️

julesG What will happen if each of them tries to change the past?

The book made me turn the pages faster than I expected to. First I needed to find out what had happened on that specific night, then I needed to find out whether they could change the outcome. It's a story about grief and regret, but also about hope and forgiveness.

I enjoyed that both MCs were lawyers in their thirties. Their backstories, dialogue, struggles, and misunderstandings felt real. What I loved the most though was Charles' POV. It's clear early on that he is neurodiverse, for example, he seems to come across as robotic at times and has trouble reading people's emotions. This is reflected in the way his chapters are written, ⬇️

julesG they show the scenes as Charles sees them, no excess emotions, little to no adjectives, raw dialogue. I loved it! I want to see more neurodiverse POV like his in (romance) novels. 3d
