[Book Review] The Circus Of The Damned By Cornelia Grey & Bean Devil Coffee Co. Oblivion
The Circus Of The Damned is set in a shadowy Victorian-esque world sprinkled with a few steampunk elements (I pictured it with kind of a Tim Burton goes to the circus kind of vibe) and populated with a cast of unique circus performers with unusual abilities, highly organized street thugs, and one frustratingly debonair devil.

[Book Review] Stand By You By A.M. Arthur & Godiva Chocolate Truffle Coffee
Oh, man, I told myself I wasn’t going to cry… and then I did. Multiple times. Sad tears. Happy tears. “Oh, Honey” tears. I just wanted to give Romy a hug half the time. The other half of the time I wanted to hug Brendan. I’m just so happy they have each other to hug. This book was so emotional and sweet. It’s a slow burn, slow build romance between two men who care so so deeply for each other and it’s really a beautiful thing to watch.

[Book Review] A Groom For Christmas By Cara Marsi & Starbucks Christmas Blend
I love Hallmark Christmas movies. They’re feel-good movies at their finest and they get me through the stress of the holiday season. They’re a little too cutesy, and cliché as all get out, but also so heartwarming and romantic - they’re my guilty little pleasure and I just can’t get enough of them. A Groom For Christmas reads exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie. (Well maybe not exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie, but if Hallmark movies were x-rated, then it would be exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie - this book has a couple pretty explicit, steamy scenes)
