    What the Heart Remembers Most by M. Ullrich

    Love was waning, and the seventeen-year relationship between Jax Levine and Gretchen Mills was no longer worth fighting for. The last few years of their marriage had been hellish. But after an accident that left Gretchen unconscious in the hospital for days, she woke up to Jax sitting by her bedside and without memories of the past three-and-a-half years. She couldn’t figure out what broke their marriage apart or what memories were real. Would this incident be the almost-clean slate the soon-to-be ex-wives needed to love again?

    To the Moon and Back by Melissa Brayden | ARC Review

    To the Moon and Back by Melissa Brayden

    To the Moon and Back is the 7th Melissa Brayden novel I have read, and it quickly became one of my favourites. The relationship between stage manager Lauren Prescott and fallen movie star Carly Daniel was sweet, intense, and ultimately mature. I rooted for them throughout the story, and my heart ached for them as they worked out issues. There were plenty of plot twists, and while none were very unexpected, all worked perfectly for the story. The pacing was precise, and not once had anything felt rushed.

    Soldier of Dorsa (The Chronicles of Dorsa #2) by Eliza Andrews

    I am definitely biased because I adore Princess of Dorsa.

    While Soldier of Dorsa did not grasp my heart as much as the first book did, I still enjoyed it very much. There were times I was so scared for Tasia and Joslyn that I dared not continue reading. But I pushed myself to read on because the suspense of not reading was killing me anyway. The overall plot was very good despite some flow disruptions due to multiple flashbacks and alternations between Tasia’s and Joslyn’s storylines. The pacing was also a bit too fast towards the end as even more things were happening at the same time. I figure the story would flow amazingly if adapted to screen.

    Just Three Words (Soho Loft #2) by Melissa Brayden

    Of late, I’ve been reading a lot of wlw (women-loving-women) romance novels. Approximately 1-book-per-day kind of “a lot” for a month straight. Or not so straight. Must be a quarter-life crisis thing since I pretty much never read romance in the past. I have yet to read one fall-in-love-with-best-friend story. Until now.

    Princess of Dorsa (The Chronicles of Dorsa #1) by Eliza Andrews

    • Publisher: Eliza Andrews, 2018
    • Language: English
    • Genre: Fantasy, LGBTQ+, Romance
    • Format: Ebook
    • Page Count: 589 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

    A book that leaves me a puddle from my own sheer emotion is always a good book.

    I haven’t read fantasy in a couple of months and Princess of Dorsa has made me want to find all the fantasy books with strong, queer, female leads and read them. While I would not say it is perfectly written (an example, and sole example to date, of a perfectly written fantasy is Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn), the overall story is amazing and I love it for igniting all kinds of emotions within me.
