Review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it. 5 stars. Prescis

Review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved it. 5 stars. Presciscely zero people will be surprised to hear that Jeaniene Frost is a great author. So I'll just list what I loved about Denise and Spade.
📚Both of them had perfectly reasonable hangups, past and present, about being attracted/starting a new relationship.
📚Both of them acknowledged their hangups and explored them. Eventually, they worked past them. Together. All mature emotional fluency and stuff.
📚Gods I loved that so much
📚 Let me just repeat: zero anguished back and forth, tortured introspection, tragic misunderstandings lasting half the damn book, or daisy petaling (I love him, I love him not, BUT DO I). I hate daisy petaling.
📚Also there were creatures, deadly stakes, a demon who gets what's coming to him, 'we have to pretend to date for this mission' while secretly wanting the excuse anyway, seggsy times ( #VampiresDoItBetter ) and trope subversion where Denise gets to turn into the horrifying creature and be badass. Basically? All of my favorite things. Yeah I jumped right into the deep end of the series spinoff but I'm all in now.

(ID: The cover of First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost. A woman in a red dress is gathering her hair and tilting her neck, ready for the bite the man seems super ready to give her. He's caught pre-bite, staring menacingly over her shoulder at the camera. This is sexy and definitely not creepy because we are paranormal romance fans, just trust me on this.)

Today's the day! Harvest Wishes is out in the worl

Today's the day! Harvest Wishes is out in the world. @jessicarenwickauthor is a part of our #Bookstagram community and I'm not only happy to support her, I'm lucky enough to be part of her ARC team.
When the second chance trope is done right it is one of my favorite things y'all. And this is done right. There has to be a genuine obstacle from their past dividing the characters ✔️
I need to really care about them, and see how perfect they could be together if they just give that second chance a try ✔️
Real remorse and a genuine effort to get around that obstacle to reach for a future together ✔️
By the end of their story my heart was so happy for Madison and Dylan. They earned their next chance. Madison, especially, has a real journey to go through as she heals from an abusive ex situation (content warnings are in the book blurb). I wanted her to succeed so much, and she does, through her own strength and determination. Plus, Jessica gives us a gorgeous setting I would move to in a heartbeat, small town meddling, harvest festivals, and dog adoption happy endings. All the happy feels!

(ID: the sunshine-y cover of Harvest Wishes by Jessica Anne Renwick, featuring a leg-pop romantic embrace, a beautiful Inn background, and gorgeous mountain setting.)

#StepbackSaturday reveal: Once Burned by Jeaniene

#StepbackSaturday reveal:
Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost 🔥
It's the first book in a spinoff from her Night Huntress series and apparently the hero is the main inspiration for all the Dracula myths (in that world). But don't mention it to him, it makes him grumpy 😂 I am entirely here for this world building.

(ID: the blue toned cover of Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost, featuring a shirtless, very muscled male with long hair, big biceps, and truly enormous pecs. A blue and orange bookmark rests above with the words Currently Reading on it)

It doesn't always happen, but today my #StepbackSa

It doesn't always happen, but today my #StepbackSaturday offering is also my #CurrentRead and I love the symmetry 📚
A paranormal stepback for you because I've been on a paranormal kick the last few weeks. May the odds be ever in your favor as you guess the author and title.
And as always we owe our thanks to Lindsay @pinkcowlandreads for creating a day dedicated to stepbacks 💙

(ID: the dark blue artwork of a stepback with an embracing couple, against a backdrop of open book pages and greenery. A blue and orange bookmark rests above the art, saying Currently Reading.)

It's a #CoverLustFriday for you, but in the style

It's a #CoverLustFriday for you, but in the style of @biologistreadsromance who finds covers which have identical or reminiscent poses. She's got a gorgeous Pino art duo featured today.
All three of these covers reminded me of each other with the smoking hot bared-neck tilt and hair waterfalls 🔥 Only two characters are vampires, and one isn't the character you'd expect from the cover.
Books featured: First Drop of Crimson by Jeanine Frost
Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night and A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole.

(ID: three paranormal romance covers with embracing couples set against a backdrop of open book pages and flowers. The couples give off menacing, I'm-not-finished-eating vibes, which is sexier than it sounds.)

I've had these Lynsay Sands vampire novels for alm

I've had these Lynsay Sands vampire novels for almost a year now and still haven't read them. Why am I like this? 😂 It was the same with the Immortals After Dark, Lord's of the Underworld, and Black Dagger Brotherhood. I had to mentally psych myself up to start such long, involved, intricate series. And then I absolutely fell in love and obsessed over them. I'll probably do the same thing with the Argeneau novels. Because of course I will. But will I learn from this? Probably not.

(ID: dark, muted black and red covers of Vampires are Forever and The Immortal Who Loved Me by Lynsay Sands, set against a light backdrop of open book pages and greenery.)
