ThThe Duke’s Accidental Bride is the first Eva Devon book I’ve ever read, but not my last! It was just such a light and easy read, and a total binger!
The book follows Lady Jacqueline (Jack) Peabody and her childhood friend James Haven, the Duke of Stone, who are thrown together when Jack breaks into the bedroom window to give him an earful after he pairs her elder sister with a vicar. Because of his scheming ways, it now puts the pressure on her to find a match for money to save her family’s tarnished reputation, and Jack demands he help her find a husband. James agrees, enamored by Jack’s tenacity, and sets out to find her the best match.
Unfortunately, his schemes do not go according to plan—Jack is unlike any other lady of the ton and therefore not marriageable to most. His extreme denial of his feelings for her don’t help the situation either. The Duke is legit so blind (*cough* stupid) and hellbent on never marrying to see that his plans for finding Jack a husband are failing because he wants her for himself.
No seriously, the man has some major relationship hang ups thanks to some childhood trauma, and doesn’t get his shit together until his hand is forced when a scorned suitor threatens Jack’s reputation. Cue third act conflict, a scandal, and him finally pulling his head out of his ass. Jack gets the happily ever after she deserves with the man who loves her for her.
Thank you Netgalley and Entangled for the arc!

I’m still loving this absolutely insane series so much. Balty & Zion have slightly edged out Simon and Wolfy as my favorite couple—I think it was the whole idiots to the lovers thing for me tbh.

I’m a such a sucker for size difference in a romance, so when I learned that Simon was tiny but mighty, the snarky little mafia queen stole my heart. He’s too sassy and hilarious, and had Wolfy instantly wrapped around his little finger. *sigh* I just love him and their whole dynamic tbh.
As to be expected, Gentlemen Prefer Villains continues with the silliness and spice, but gave a bigger glimpse into the supes and their world which I really liked!

Nothing unusual about that, until a gorgeous Fae male comes in and offers Tony something he can't refuse. With the opportunity to clear his debt for good, Tony foolishly accepts, not knowing that everything is about to change...
When I requested an arc of this from Gay Romance Reviews, I didn't realize this was part of a multi-author series. I just hopped at the chance to read another Eliot Greyson book because I'm a fan of her work, but if the rest of this series is as fantastic as Lucky or Knot is, I may have to give it a go.
The chemistry and snarky banter between Tony and Raven was everything, and oof were these two smoking hot together! I'm a sucker for size differences and knotting, and absolutely ate this up! ...more

Selene, a young witch whose magic eats her memories, drunkenly books a trip to South America to set off on a quest that will get her into a coven who has repeatedly rejected her because of magical memory problem.
On her way there she gets waylaid by a magical force that calls to her, finds herself a sassy familiar, and accidentally awakens an ancient evil—Memnon—who also happens to believe she is his wife.
As if that weren’t bad enough, Selene gets mixed up in some dark magic shenanigans, gets framed for murder, and the only one who can help her is the one person she’s trying to avoid—Memnon.
Honestly, I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this, especially after how much I did not like The Four Horsemen series.
I thought the concept of Selene losing her memories (and not knowing which ones she’s lost) when she uses her magic was interesting, loved the witchy academy and paranormal community that was introduced, and I even liked the whole soulmates/past life thing going on.
I will say it did take me a minute to get into because the first part about Selene’s quest, plane crash, and awakening Memnon doesn’t really mesh that well with the rest of the book, but overall I really liked this!...more
