S. T. Gibson, the queen of erotic fantasy romance, returns with this ravishingly dark trilogy of gothic manors, faery magic, and forbidden desires set in the foreboding Highlands of Scotland.

For as long as Adam can remember, the legends passed down from his world-traveling grandfather have called him to a crumbling manor in the Highlands. His closest friend Nicola longs for the same adventure, as well as for Adam himself. She'll follow him just about anywhere—even to the remote wilds of Scotland—if it pushes the pair to surrender to their shared attraction.

But when a storm strikes and strands them unexpectedly, Adam and Nicola find themselves at the mercy of the eccentric owner of the infamous house, Eileen, as well as her brooding groundskeeper, Finley. Trapped by the weather, and bound by ancient faery magic, Nicola and Adam get more than they bargained for as they become entangled in Eileen and Finley's world of mind games, deceit, and forbidden desire.

As ancestral sins are unearthed, Adam and Nicola will have to reckon with the spell Eileen and Finley have cast over them—and whether or not they even want to be free.

I owe you a post, more like I owe you a lot of posts. If you can't tell, November kind of passed me by in a whirlwind and I need to do a better job of figuring out how to stay on top of things because I feel like I have forgotten about y'all more than once. I actually came on her to say that I am working my way through ten before the end, which is more like 20 before the end because I'm a mood reader and I also read fast so I have a stack of like 35 books and I'm hoping at least 10 of them will work for me.\ \ So far I have finished Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer (4 stars), All Superheroes Need Photo Ops by Elizabeth Stephens (5 stars), Savage Blooms by St. Gibson (5 stars), Say a Little Prayer by Jenna Voris (5 stars), and Son of the Morning by Akwaeke Emezi (4 stars). I NRN'd (not right now) Arcana Academy by Elise Kova. I'm currently reading Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri. This is my first Tasha Suri book and five chapters in and I can tell I will need to be reading her backlist.\ \ My thoughts so far: WPA was my first Kemmerer book and I liked her writing style, I was hooked and kept turning pages because I wanted to know what happened. I don't know if I would love her YA stuff as much because I really enjoyed the forbidden aspect of this MMF romance and the secrecy. I can't wait of book 2. Elizabeth Stephens wrote her FREAKNASTIEST book yet, and in her patreon she said blame it on her pregnancy hormones, but Darius said crawl and I almost got on my own damn knees. I think I've never given St. Gibson less than a perfect 5 star and this was no different. It gave me all the vibes of Thornchapel, my fave Sierra Simone series but damn it left us on quite a cliffy. Also super gay, we love. Say a Little Prayer was my book club pick this month and for all the religious trauma girlies, this one is going to be for you. It's YA and the FMC really is very teenagery. Also the titles of the chapters, honestly the writing style in general was so funny! Let but not least, this was Emezi's spiciest book yet, and it's an MFM that evolves into and MMF and I love that for us. I was hoping to have the same deconstruction vibes I got when I read The Fall That Saved Us, which is one of my favorite books of all time, but it just didn't hit as good, I think there could have been more explored in terms of Galilee's identity, I still loved it, I just wanted more, hence the 4 stars.\ \ As far as Arcana Academy, I was bored. But I'm going to give it another try later because I really enjoyed the other books by Kova I've read.\ \ Also we raised approximately $7,500 for foodbanks across the US during our Read to Feed auction and read-a-thon. If you participated, thank you so much! I am working on a more realistic posting schedule and more tuned on content for next year. I hope you all stick with me.

NOVEMBER READING WRAP UP 📚

NOVEMBER READING WRAP UP 📚 I read some great new romantasy releases last month with a little dystopian and contemporary romance thrown in the mix. All in all, my favorite books were the first and last books of the month. (Emotionally, I think I’m still recovering from The Everlasting and wondering if any book will ever compare.) I need to read ten more books to hit my reading goal for the year. Send help. Books Mentioned: The Seconds Death of Locke by VL Bovalino A Love Most Brutal by Kath Richards Halfling by SE Wendel Savage Blooms by ST Gibson To Cage a Wild Bird by Brooke Fast Daddy Issues by Kate Goldbeck Holly by Adalyn Grace Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett As Many Souls as Stars by Natasha Siegel Thank you to @PRH Audio for access to the Daddy Issues audiobook and thank you to @Libro.fm and @William Morrow Books for the audio and physical copies of As Many Souls as Stars respectively! 💕 #romantasybooktok #bookrecs #romancebookrecs #monthlyreadingwrapup #2025books

Poll:\ \ How many books did you read in November?\ \ Q: How are you spending your first day of December? \ \ Happy December, my darlings!
