2. Zander (heroes at Heart #1) by Maryann Jordan.

A retelling of sleeping beauty. Almost DNF'd this book because Zander was a sexist asshole for no good reason and I dislike when men are that way in books. He redeemed himself, and I'm a very hard sell for that. story was sweet if not a bit rushed, but my heart didn't care. also AMNESIA trope!!Sleeping Beauty retelling.

CW for on-page assault, descriptions of physical assault.

Book thread.

1. Power of Five by Alex Lidell. This is what I will continue to refer to as why-choose romances, where there is more than one love interest and everybody gets to be happy. This book is about the fae and a woman who doesn't know she is part of that world. The writing was beautiful. I'm very new to this genre and still trying to figure out its tropes. First in a series and it endd abruptly. There is some spice.

Continuing my #bookthread for all the #books I've been reading from birdsite here. I'll be posting short reviews and discussions of what resonated with me. It's a positive review space, as when possible I'll tag the authors to show my appreciation.
