"It's so good."
"The romance is well written but the world-building and external plot outside of the romance is great."
"{Entreat me by Grace Draven} - Standalone, Dark beauty and the beast retelling."
"Until the ending LOL."
"{Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven} This series is slower in general but I love that relatively normal people can have great adventures."

"Mages of the Wheel by JD Evans is PERFECTION. It's got steam and spice and romance."
"Completed and outstanding. Sweet YA Romance."
"Royal/bodyguard trope, literally touch her and die"

"Divine Rivals duology - it's not really an enemies to lovers, more like an annoyance to lovers."
