A lovely, warm, cozy sapphic fantasy about kindness, community, and learning to be your true self
Genre: Romance
The Secret Christmas Library, by Jenny Colgan
A ramshackle old castle, a hidden book, a treasure hunt, and a touch of romance— it’s the latest heartwarming holiday novel by Jenny Colgan.
Sweep of the Blade, by Ilona Andrews (Graphic Audio edition)
I absolutely loved the first three books in the Innkeeper Chronicles, so given that this book changes focus to a new pair of main characters, I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t like it as much. But I needn’t have worried. I was every bit as swept up in this story as I was in the first three.
Harmonic Pleasure, by Celia Lake
I loved this latest Albion novel from Celia Lake, which features music, magic, history, and romance in 1920s London.
Carry On, by Celia Lake
I really love this quiet, thoughtful, slow-paced (but never dull) novel. Technically, it is a historical fantasy romance, but the romance is only one facet of the relationship between the main characters, and only one facet of the plot. There’s also a bit of a mystery threaded throughout, although the book isn’t quite a mystery novel, either.
The Blonde Identity, by Ally Carter
Rom-com meets action-adventure spy novel in The Blonde Identity. It’s full of danger, chase scenes, and action sequences, but it’s also funny and sexy and frothy in all the right ways. And it hits some familiar romance and spy novel tropes in ways that somehow feel comfortingly familiar and fresh at the same time.
Weaving Hope, by Celia Lake
Weaving Hope is a very gentle, very slow-burn closed-door romance set in magical 1920s Britain.
Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis
Wooing the Witch Queen was an absolute delight, from its sweet, sensitive, traumatized cinnamon-roll hero to its introverted, reclusive, but decidedly not evil heroine.
On the Edge, by Ilona Andrews
It took me a little while to get into On the Edge, but once I did, I was totally hooked. This paranormal romance has great worldbuilding, compelling characters, external threats and internal conflicts that each inform and heighten the other, and a romantic pairing that I was initially dubious about and ended up loving.
