Hi reader,
Wednesday is romance, and this week the lane leans funny, warm, and a little dangerous. One brand-new release plus two summer favorites, three very different heat levels, all of them landing on the same soft spot: the person you should absolutely not fall for, and the falling anyway.
New this week, open door, unhinged found family: The Night Shift Witch, by Jennie Wren Foster
Catherine Anderson works nights at County General because the pay is bad but the chaos is reliable. Then a dying stranger bleeds silver on her hands, whispers "the witch has awakened," and flatlines, and Catherine wakes up the only human alive who can heal the supernatural. Great superpower. One catch: every patient she fixes gets magically, permanently, emotionally bonded to her soul. So now she has a gorgeous ancient vampire who keeps faking injuries to see her, a fae life coach she did not hire, a sixteen-year-old shifter who would die for her, and a two-hundred-year-old vampire queen tightening her grip on the city. Catherine just wanted a nap. She got a coven.
"The clock said 2:47 a.m., which in nurse years is the hour the soul quietly leaves the body to go get a snack and think about its choices."
Grumpy-immortal love interest, competent exhausted heroine, laugh-out-loud banter, open door, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Book one of the brand-new Coven General series.
Small-town, warm, slow-burn: Love at First Brew, by Jennie Wren Foster
If your ideal summer read is a cozy mountain town, a coffee shop, and two stubborn people who keep ending up on the same side of the counter, this is your book. Sweet, low-angst, and easy to fall into on a hot afternoon.
High heat, courtroom of dragons: The Fracture Courts, by Kira Deveraux
For the reader who wants the dangerous end of the pool. A world of binding law and burning power, an enemies-to-something slow burn, and a heroine who refuses to be sentenced quietly. Spicy romantasy, the second in Kira's Thornbound world, and it reads with a standalone arc.
