Although I love autumn and my writing has gotten a burst of inspiration, September was a very slow reading month! Despite that, I read two absolute corkers…
Devil’s Mark by Lark Taylor is SUCH a fun read. This is a love story about two people who never thought they would get a happy ever after stumbling across one another and then NEVER letting go. It’s got ridiculous siblings and many cuddles (and some humping!), plus some of the best anxiety rep I’ve ever read. Normally I find anxious characters hard to read, but it’s handled with such authenticity and gentleness. AND this is the start of a series, so there will be loads of chances to dip back into this world.
All the Feels by Olivia Dade was a reread, and it was no less fun and sexy and just all-round brilliant the second time. If you like your romcoms to have great story arcs for both partners, then this is a must-read for you. The set-up is quick (I’m reading a lot of romcoms that drag the beginning out for far too long) and the banter is GLORIOUS. Plus there is fat rep which unashamedly celebrates a bigger body and ADHD rep that is heartfelt and hilarious.
As always, read them all and we can be chums 😊
