pickEntertaining slow burn romance featuring a strong and (very) silent man and the woman who got him to talk (a bit). My only complaint is that the 🌶, when it finally happened, was disappointing. But maybe that‘s just me. Thanks to @TheSpineView for putting this one on my radar.

My favorite book in June was The Wall of Winnipeg and Me (tagged) by Mariana Zapata.
pickJane Austen acolytes & Bridgerton besties, I must insist you add this darling graphic novel to your dance card. Set in a diverse, inclusive alt-Regency-era, a marriage of convenience between a reputation-ruined lady and a financially-ruined gentleman settles into surprising contentment, but will it survive the chance for more? Sexy and satisfying, moving and romantic, this pitch-perfect read is a quick one, but you‘ll savor it like a spiced tea.
pickSince this book wasn‘t listed, I chose the prequel as my review spot. Alice Coldbreath does it again! A wonderfully thoughtful look at a second chance romance. 💕

Mere proximity to him was enough to set her stomach fluttering. To make her insides quiver and quake.
She had felt just the same when he‘d approached her at Lady Arundell‘s ball. At the time, she‘d mistaken the sensation for fear.
But it wasn‘t fear. She realized that now, much to her chagrin. It was something else. Something worse.
It was attraction.

Despite all she knew of him—despite the warnings of her friends, and of her own mind and conscience—her body was disposed to like the man.
More than like.
She wondered if he felt it, too; this low thrum of physical awareness. (edited) 4w
