Set in Oxford’s magical community a year or so after the end of World War II, this gentle, slowly-unfolding romance features intelligent, good-hearted, skilled and competent people treating others with kindness and respect—a hallmark of Celia Lake’s Albion novels, and the reason I (and her other fans) love them so much.
A lovely, warm, cozy sapphic fantasy about kindness, community, and learning to be your true self
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.
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.
I loved this latest Albion novel from Celia Lake, which features music, magic, history, and romance in 1920s London.
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.
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 is a very gentle, very slow-burn closed-door romance set in magical 1920s Britain.
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.
