Super cute. Fluffy romance, a fair amount of spice, a silly initial premise with an interesting side plot. Nothing super outside of the norm and if you‘ve read Hibbert‘s older works it‘s very true to her formula, which is fun, racy & inclusive but not breaking new ground (especially if you don‘t care for secret royals)

The King's Spinster Bride | Ruby Dixon

pick

I read 8 books in February. A slow month for me. Pictured is my reading journal where I like to draw in their spines next to a star rating. I write the full title and author name on the left page.

Favorites were my rereads of Moon Called & Blood Bound with A Closed & Common Orbit being a close second.

Finished out the month with a couple of Ruby Dixon books from her Aspect & Anchor series which is one of hers I have not yet finished reading. ⬇️

Soubhiville I love your journaling method! Looks really nice. 9mo

MeganAnn 1/2: Tagged book is a sort of prequel novella for the Aspect & Anchor series. It follows a spinster princess who lost her family & kingdom in the war that happened 16 years prior where she saved the life of the enemy‘s son. The new barbarian king has come to claim her as his bride after being in love with her ever since she saved his life. His culture has some unusual marriage customs. It‘s a quick, fun standalone read with some spicy scenes. ⬇️ (edited) 9mo

MeganAnn 2/2: Ruby Dixon shines in these short novella type stories. I think the main Aspect & Anchor books are good, but kind of long for her and do suffer a bit because of the longer length. When she keeps it shorter (I think most of the Ice Planet Barbarian books & related spinoffs are under 300 pages) she draws you into the character‘s romance quickly and keeps the momentum going. The longer titles lose that in the middle then pick up again. (edited) 9mo

MeganAnn @Soubhiville thank you! 🥰 9mo

The Wild Heir | Karina Halle

bailed

There was a whole thing on socials last week where someone called the author a pedo bc the MCs name is the same as a middle name of a 12yo Swedish prince. MC of this book is in his 20s &there‘s a disclaimer about this being fictional
“reader” doubled down, claimed this was an author behaving badly even though you cant just call someone a pedo
But as the MC sped away in a speedboat from the paparazzi I realized this book was aggressively not for me
