WOVEN BY GOLD arrived early and I genuinely thought my eyes were deceiving me 😭💛
I dropped everything, ran downstairs like my life depended on it, and tore that package open so fast you’d think it was treasure from the Dragon’s Den itself.

Absolutely elated to add this beauty to my shelves alongside the rest of my copies. She’s finally home, and she is STUNNING ✨📚🐉

🐉✨ Belated Book Harvest Appreciation ✨🐉
Book Harvest 2025 was everything! I had such an amazing time meeting authors, catching up with familiar faces, and adding way too many books - or not enough - to my hoard. 🐲💖

Between the laughs, new friends, and so many books, I may have peaked when I started asking authors to sign my penis 😏 (last slide for proof). It’s now one of my most prized possessions - second only to my growing TBR mountain.

Already counting down to the next con and the next Book Harvest…this dragon will be ready! 🐉📚🖤

🐉📚 Book Harvest — Day 3 (Final Day for this Dragon) 📚🐉

And just like that, my part of the harvest comes to an end! The hoard is overflowing, my heart is full, and my wallet… well, she fought bravely. I’ll be posting a full rundown of the spoils later this week — fingers crossed I can lift them all long enough for photos.

Today was amazing. Everyone I met was so kind, and I’m endlessly grateful to have been part of this event. I did get sick halfway through, but so many wonderful people helped me out — and thankfully, I wasn’t knocked completely out of the skies. 💜🔥

Oh, and my favorite part? Definitely having authors sign my peen pillows. I can’t wait to display both of them proudly on my couch, covered in signatures. 😂

This dragon’s retreating to her cave to recuperate until the next adventure — but what a journey this one has been. 🐉✨

🐉📚 Book Harvest – Day 2 Haul 📚🐉

The dragon has returned from the fields of paper and ink with fresh spoils for the hoard! Most of my preorders have finally found their way into my claws, I chatted with so many amazing authors, and of course… added even more to the ever-growing TBR pile.

My feet may be aching, but my dragon heart is full… and I regret nothing. Every book is a jewel, every conversation a spark of fire. 🔥✨

Tell me, fellow bookwyrms - how do you carry your hoard when it grows this big? (Asking for my spine and my shelves 😅)

✨ Let’s celebrate! WINGS OF ASH & FLAME by Jocelyn Bleu is out now! 🪶🔥 Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Zodiac Academy, this romantasy will set your heart on fire.

📚 #OneClickHere: https://a.co/d/1s5PwAB

🌟 Tropes inside you’ll love:
⚔️ Rivals to Lovers
🔥 Painfully Slow Burn
🏰 Gothic Academy with Deadly Trials
🪶 Found Family
✨ Elemental Magic
❤️ Fight & Flirt at the Same Time

Blurb:
Rivals by design. Lovers by choice. Enemies by destiny.

Alaire Aerendyl has survived by her fists, her wits, and sheer defiance. An orphaned human unjustly imprisoned by the powerful fae houses that rule her world, she’s never truly known freedom—only how to fight for scraps of it.

So when she’s offered a place at a brutal fae academy known for its deadly magical trials and bonded mythical winged creatures, she doesn’t hesitate. Freedom is worth any risk.

Alaire is meant to fail. But when she bonds with a legendary phoenix, reviving the long-lost House of Ashfyre, everything changes. Memories awaken. Magic stirs. And Alaire becomes the target of powers far darker than she ever imagined.

Bound by duty, fae prince Dawson Knox is broody, lethal, and infuriating. Forced to train alongside him, Alaire finds herself pushed to every limit. He’s the last person she should trust… and the only one who makes her burn.

As war brews between fae and vampires with humans caught in the crossfire, Alaire must uncover the secrets of her past and conquer her traitorous heart—or risk losing everything.

✨ A fierce academy setting, a phoenix bond, and a searing rivals-to-lovers romance you won’t forget.

💫 Be on the lookout - I’ll be posting my review soon!

✨ Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for DANGEROUS LITTLE DARES by @charlielennonauthor! 🎉 This addictive friends-to-lovers romance is out now in KU!

📚 #OneClickHere: https://a.co/d/9t9KjfJ

🌟 Tropes you’ll find inside:
🖤 Older Brother’s Best Friend
🔥 Truth or Dare
⏳ Slow Burn
💕 Friends to Lovers
🛏️ Only One Bed
👻 Haunted House
🕰️ A Villainous Secret Society
🐶 Golden Retriever Hero Goes Morally Grey

Blurb:
Carter Kensington is charming, funny, and kind — he’s Briar Roses’ most eligible bachelor, a billionaire who drives fast cars and curates priceless paintings. While he’s never been particularly glamorized by his wealth, he’s certainly used to getting everything he wants. Except when it comes to her. A fact that drives him crazy. Maybe even crazy enough to abandon his riches and try to pursue a fresh start. Key word try.

Sarafina Devereux might seem like your average girl next door, except for the fact that she grew up in the elite upper echelons of society. A brilliant artist — equal parts prankster and ball of anxious nerves, she always did find it hard to ask for what she wanted. Especially when it comes to her older brother’s best friend — the orphaned neighbor boy she grew up crushing on. Their long running game of Truth or Dare — her only way of getting his attention. Little does she know… she’s always had it.

Both Carter and Sara keep their own secrets, but when a tragic death turns everyone’s lives upside down, and a villainous secret society pulls the strings in the background — hard enough to snap. Carter will do whatever it takes to protect the girl he’s always loved… even if it means turning morally gray to save her.

✨🍓 Are you ready to play the game?

🐉✨ ARC Review ✨🐉
Dangerous Little Dares
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️

From the very first chapter title (yes, I notice those things 🐉), this book had me hooked.

We meet Sarafina and Carter young, then rejoin them three years later - and oh, the moment that scarred man returned? 👀🥵 Consider me glued to the page.

Sara’s POV when she’s breaking down wrecked me. I cried, I ached, I wanted to wrap her in my wings. And Carter Kensington? Straight into the book boyfriend hoard. Supportive, patient, hopelessly in love from the start - he’s the kind of MMC I’ll keep close to the treasure pile.

The story balances yearning, healing, and just enough unpredictability to keep me flipping pages late into the night. Did a few timing choices throw me? Sure. But honestly? That surprise factor was half the fun.

Charlie Lennon’s debut is emotional, romantic, and threaded with just the right amount of darkness. I’m already perched on my stack waiting for book 2. 🖤

📚 Tropes you’ll love:
• Truth or Dare
• Haunted House
• Only One Bed
• Yearning
• Brother’s Best Friend
• Golden Retriever → Morally Grey
• Villainous Secret Society

Thank you, @charlielennonauthor for the ARC!

From the very first chapter title (yes, I notice those things 🐉), this book had me hooked.

We meet Sarafina and Carter young, then rejoin them three years later - and oh, the moment that scarred man returned? 👀🥵 Consider me glued to the page.

Sara’s POV when she’s breaking down wrecked me. I cried, I ached, I wanted to wrap her in my wings. And Carter Kensington? Straight into the book boyfriend hoard. Supportive, patient, hopelessly in love from the start - he’s the kind of MMC I’ll keep close to the treasure pile.

The story balances yearning, healing, and just enough unpredictability to keep me flipping pages late into the night. Did a few timing choices throw me? Sure. But honestly? That surprise factor was half the fun.

Charlie Lennon’s debut is emotional, romantic, and threaded with just the right amount of darkness. I’m already perched on my stack waiting for book 2. 🖤

📚 Tropes you’ll love:
• Truth or Dare
• Haunted House
• Only One Bed
• Yearning
• Brother’s Best Friend
• Golden Retriever → Morally Grey
• Villainous Secret Society

Thank you, @charlielennonauthor for the ARC!

📚 Why you will love this book…
🔥 MMFM
🔥 Why Choose
🔥 Workplace Romance
🔥 Fake Dating
🔥 Friends to Lovers
🔥 Enemies to Lovers
🔥 Age Gap
🔥 Small Town

💖 Teaser:
Everyone’s always said I’m a troublemaker. So it’s not exactly shocking when I fall for my boss, his boss… and the guy I put a curse on in high school.

This summer, I’m working as a paralegal at a fancy law firm, trying to keep my head down.

Then Evan—charming, ambitious, definitely too-hot-to-be-a-lawyer—asks me to be his fake girlfriend to help him make partner. I say yes. Obviously.

I also meet Christopher: senior partner, older, bossy, and practically married to his tailored suits. Turns out he has a soft spot for brats… and for sharing women—with Evan.

Things are getting very interesting.

And then Tucker walks in.

My high school nemesis. The guy I cursed out (and cursed for real) during my goth phase. He’s back—and now a ripped, repentant construction foreman who wants to make peace. And maybe more.

I don’t stand a chance. These three men are charming, dominant, and ridiculously into me. They’re breaking down my walls one steamy encounter at a time.

This summer fling is supposed to end in July. I’m supposed to leave, keep my heart locked down, and not fall in love with three men who are completely, totally, inappropriately perfect for me.

Oops.

Three Bossy Boyfriends is a standalone MMFM why choose rom-com full of chaos, curses, and chemistry. Expect fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, workplace hijinks, and enough steam to melt your Kindle.

✨🔥Book Mail from the Shadows🔥✨
📚 The Chained Prince by @beccacalderauthor

I’ve been holding off on posting some of my book mail lately (life’s been a whirlwind), but this one? This one demanded to be shared.

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to receive an e-ARC of The Chained Prince, and I absolutely devoured it. So when Becca announced it was coming to her Etsy? You bet this dragon launched herself at the “buy now” button.

Signed, sealed, delivered - along with character art that makes my little hoarder heart flutter.

Thank you so much Becca! I’m beyond thrilled to have this on my shelves and I cannot wait for book two. My claws are ready. 🐉📖

✨🐉 Life Update 🐉✨

Y’all… I can finally say this out loud: I will have shelves again!! 📚🔥

This photo is from the shelves I left behind almost a year ago, when I made a decision that completely shifted the course of my life. It hasn’t been easy - though my family’s support has meant everything - but through it all, my books have been my one constant. My hoard. My treasures. 💎🐉

This community of bookwyrms and story-lovers has been such a bright spot for me, even on the harder days. And now… I get to move into a space where my books will no longer be stacked in wandering piles but honored properly on their shelves, where they belong. 🪄

I can’t wait to show you all my new dragon’s den once it’s set up… so stick around, the best is yet to come. 🖤

🐉✨ My Next Adventure Awaits… ✨🐉

I’ve packed my satchel, sharpened my claws, and prepared my TBR scroll… because I’ve been accepted onto the ARC team for Dangerous Little Dares by @charlielennonauthor ! 📚💥

This one promises haunted houses, forbidden longing, and the kind of “truth or dare” that ends in secrets, scars, and maybe a morally gray golden retriever MMC. (The best kind, honestly.) 😌🖤

We’ve got:
🗝️ Older Brother’s Best Friend
🗝️ Friends to Lovers
🗝️ A secret society creeping in the shadows
🗝️ A slow-burn so tense it might snap
🗝️ A prankster girl-next-door FMC who’s way in over her head

It’s giving danger. It’s giving angst. It’s giving “I swear on my mother’s grave” and WHERE IS SHE energy. 👀
And I am ready to be emotionally destroyed in the best way.

Catch me curled up in the den with this one. It drops September 24 - until then, I’ll be hoarding all the delicious details for my review. 🐉✨

🌟 Why you NEED to #ONECLICK this book:
⚔️ Enemies to Lovers
💔 Forbidden Love Spanning Millennia
🏡 Gritty Cottagecore Meets War of the Gods
👑 The Queen Gets the Villain
🔥 Forced Proximity
🖤 He Is Soft Only For Her

💬 “I had nowhere else to go.”
🐉 Elves, Dragons, Dwarves & Epic Worldbuilding

Blurb:
Their forbidden love tore the world apart.
Now two broken gods might be the only ones able to heal it.

Haunted by his past and the evil forces he commanded, Noctis, once the God of Darkness, cannot forget Rada, the former Goddess of Light — and the queen who ruled at his brother’s side. Condemned to mortality, thought dead to the whole world, Noctis craves one last meeting …

Stripped of her magic and exiled for treason, Rada has built an idyllic new life on a farm at the edges of the realm. But her peace is shattered one stormy night when Noctis — the enemy who caused her downfall, the lover she betrayed in turn — appears at her door, wounded and desperate.

When a sinister attack reveals the powers of Chaos are stirring once more, Noctis’s dark past begins to unravel. As desire and duty entwine, Rada faces an impossible choice. Can she become the ally of the man who broke her heart to save everything she holds dear?

Inspired by Nordic mythology, this first book in a series follows star-crossed lovers, their fall from grace and their quest for redemption. Sizzling, tension-filled romance, high-stakes magical battles, and morally-grey characters make this the perfect read for fans of Gild, The Cruel Prince, and When the Moon Hatched.

🐉✨ ARC Review ✨🐉
A Haunting Romance Forged in Divinity
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️

…unfinished business, and a bond forged in blood, betrayal, and love that refuses to die. Their dynamic? A smoldering ache that simmers with every glance, every shared silence.

Flashbacks are my favorite flavor of pain, and this book delivered. Watching them wrestle with who they were vs. who they are now felt like slowly unearthing something sacred… and cursed.

The world is epic - gods, dragons, elves, dwarves - and yet every moment still feels intimate. Sarah Lee Wohn’s prose is deliberate, immersive, and devastating in the best way. Every twist hit. Every reveal landed. And the spice? A slow rise that burns when it finally breaks.

📚 Tropes I devoured:
• Enemies to Lovers
• Forbidden Love Spanning Millennia
• The Queen Gets the Villain
• Forced Proximity
• Dual POV, Dual Timeline
• “I had nowhere else to go.” (Scream.)

If you’re into mythic yearning, emotionally haunted heroines, and fallen gods who would still burn the world for her—this one belongs on your altar.

🖤

🐉🕷️ The Spider, the Screwdriver, and the Sinner’s Heart 🕷️🐉

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

…than off-limits - and if there’s no blood relation? That’s fair game in this dragon’s hoard.

The audiobook wrecked me. Chapter 15 hit like a flaming arrow to the heart. I may never look at a screwdriver the same way again. 🥲

Joe Arden devoured this performance. Every ache, every whispered craving, every broken plea - he brought Malachi to life in a way that burned.

And the structure? Chef’s kiss. No whiplash POV flipping - just a clean split between Part One and Part Two, giving us time to live inside their heads.

If you love broken boys, taboo tension, and audiobooks that make your chest ache in the best way… this one’s for you.

✨ Life Update ✨

It’s been a little quiet here lately. My mental health hasn’t been the best, and I’ve needed to step back for a bit. That silence doesn’t mean I’ve stopped creating though… it just means I’ve been shifting my energy.

Right now, I’ll be most active on my book blog (link in bio!). That’s where you’ll find my rambles, reviews, and the kinds of long thoughts that don’t always fit into an Instagram caption. Insta will still see posts here and there, just a little sporadic until after my upcoming move.

Once I’m settled, I have so much planned and I can’t wait to share it with you. For now, the blog is the highlight. Thank you for being patient with me as I find my footing again. 💛🐉📚

✨Two Sparkling Additions for the Hoard✨

🖤🔥 Took a little flight to Birdie Books today and returned with two sparkling additions for the hoard. This Princess Kills Monsters and First-Time Caller practically leapt into my claws — who was I to resist?

🛍️ And let’s not overlook the adorable little Mothman earrings I snagged while prowling the shelves! Creepy-cute and 100% worthy of a place in the treasure pile. I mean… who wouldn’t want a cryptid dangling from their ears? 👀✨🦇

The TBR pile grows ever higher, but what’s a dragon to do when the treasure keeps calling? 🐉📚💎

Snagged this lovely little novella at the Big Ohio Book Con and I’m so glad I did! Thank you to the author, @authordelainewalsh, for the signed copy and the cozy escape. 🐾💌

This novella was a blink-and-you’re-mated kind of tale - Hunter and Rachael’s bond burned fast and bright. If you like your romance with true mates, small-town vibes, and a little heat, this one’s a cozy flame to curl up beside.

There was a moment that knocked my wings off balance - Hunter’s weird memory lapse about his hunting trip made me double back and reread. But all in all, this was a sweet, spicy escape with just enough howl to warm a dragon’s heart. 💚🔥

Would I trade my hoard for a mate like Hunter? Maybe not… but I would let him borrow a blanket. 🐺💋

🐉✨ Big Ohio Book Con Haul! ✨🐉

This dragon made it out of the lair and into the con—and came back with treasure.

I got to meet some incredible authors, chat with fellow readers, and stockpile enough bookish loot to make any hoarder proud. Between signed copies, shiny new reads, handmade goodies, and a badge I’ll definitely be saving, this whole experience was pure magic.

Keep your eyes on the skies (and your feed), because I’ll be sharing more close-ups and chaos from this haul very soon.

Which book or item grabs your eye first? 👀💜

🐉✨ Another Glorious Addition to the Hoard ✨🐉

This set is the one that lit the spark. As soon as I saw these custom beauties from @athemingwaybooks, I knew they needed a place in the hoard.

Howl’s Moving Castle was one of my earliest comforts - equal parts magic and mischief. I can’t count how many times I’ve rewatched the Ghibli film, and Howl? Let’s just say this dragon is still a little feral for him.

I first stumbled into Diana Wynne Jones’s stories as a fledgling reader, and the nostalgia hit hard opening these again. Between the golden illustrations, those dazzling sprayed edges, and the magic humming through every page, this trilogy is pure treasure.

And can we talk about that stunning Howl and Sophie print from @luxury_banshee? It’s the perfect fiery, romantic touch to complete this magical collection. Absolute art. 🔥💜

Now to guard it with my life. 📚💎

✨🐉 BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK 🐉✨
From the depths of @blackcatmedina, I unearthed a wrapped mystery… and met Hazel.

She’s firecracker chaos wrapped in glitter and unfiltered honesty. He’s stability in soft boy form. Together?
💥 Explosive.
💌 Adorably doomed.
🍷 Possibly tipsy.

🔥 Josh + Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren isn’t my usual dark-and-broody dragon tale - but even dragons need a little rom-com chaos, right?

Would you let this unhinged duo into your hoard?

✨🐉 Kickstarter Magic Unlocked 🐉✨

These Of Dragons and Fae editions by @author.jasminewalt just landed in my hoard, and I’m completely spellbound. The foiling, the case art, the quotes on the back covers?? Pure enchantment.

I backed the recent Kickstarter and couldn’t be happier with the final result - these covers are fierce, romantic, and so full of dragonfire energy. Between the gorgeous color palette and all the tiny magical details, this series has instantly become one of the crown jewels of my shelves. 💜🔥

If you’re a fan of dragons, fae, slow-burn tension, and beautiful special editions… this one belongs in your treasure pile too.

✨📚 Stars and Shadows Appreciation 📚✨

Absolutely obsessed with this gorgeous omnibus of the Stars and Shadows series by @authorhollyrenee 🐍🌙 The design? Flawless. The stenciled edges? Jaw-dropping. And don’t even get me started on the art prints… mwah perfection.

I may not be in town to meet Holly in person (devastated, truly), but I’m so happy for everyone who gets the chance - and I’m beyond thrilled to have this beauty in my collection.

Also, shoutout to Daddy Evren for being an icon 🛸👑

🔥🐉 Treasure Alert 🐉🔥

This trio has officially taken the crown as my favorite Empyrean Series editions to date. The books themselves are from @athemingwaybooks (a true gem hoard for readers), and the absolutely stunning dust jackets and stickers are from the ever-talented @s_holdthebus.

I’m not usually a dragon to chase after custom sprayed edges, but Hemingway Books designs? I was dragged straight into the flames - and I have zero regrets. This is the third series I’ve collected from them and each one shines brighter than a hoarded jewel.

From the bold dragons to the gilded floral frames, this set is pure magic. ✨

Tell me, brave reader - Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, or Onyx Storm… which one would you defend with fire?

✨🐉 Bookstore Adventure 🐉✨

I stopped by Black Cat Books & Oddities in Medina, OH today to pick up my passes for the Big Ohio Book Con (happening next weekend!), and I couldn’t resist browsing the shelves…

Of course, I left with a few new additions to my ever-growing library 👀

📚 Chasing Goldie by @authorhollyroberds – a spicy bear shifter retelling that sounds like it’s going to be just right 🐻🍯
📚 Mountains Made of Glass by @authorscarlettstclair – a dark fairytale reimagining that had me hooked from the first line of the blurb 💀🌹

I also picked up a Blind Date With a Book, but I’ll share more on that in a future post 👀

Huge shoutout to Tiffany and Salem for being so helpful and kind! I absolutely adored the store - cozy vibes, magical finds, and amazing people 🖤

Have you been to Black Cat before? Or read either of these fairytale retellings?

Look what just arrived! Prince of the Arena by @author.elizabeth.helen is the newest addition to my bookshelf, and I’m absolutely thrilled. This prequel novella dives into the world of the Beasts of the Briar series - aka my current obsession - and I cannot wait to devour it.

From the drama to the romance to the magic… everything Elizabeth Helen writes just hits. Getting to revisit this world (and maybe see some familiar faces 👀) is such a treat!

Have you read Beasts of the Briar yet? If not… what are you waiting for? 💀🌹

🖤 A Monster Who Just Wants to Cuddle… and Maybe Destroy a Few Demons
⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This one’s been on my TBR forever, and I finally gave it the time it deserves! Reia is 26 (just like me 👀), and it made her journey feel that much more relatable. Her backstory? Brutal.

But let’s be honest - this was all about Orpheus for me. Our lonely duskwalker just wants someone to love him 🥹 and his reaction to the smallest kindnesses? Adorable.

The middle dragged a little, but once the Demon King entered the chat? I was back in.

If you love sweet monster bois, tender chaos, and dark romantic fantasy with a slow-burn bite, A Soul to Keep is worth checking out.

✨ Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for THE CHAINED PRINCE by @beccacalderauthor! 👑 This broody fae romantasy is out now and waiting for you in KU!

📚 #OneClickHere: https://a.co/d/dupfguI

🌟 Why you need to #ONECLICK this book:
💔 Fated Mates
🔥 Broody, Broken Prince
🌙 Tragic Love Story
⚔️ Dark Magic and Shadows
⏳ Impossible Choices
🩸 Forced Proximity

The chained prince haunting her dreams isn’t a nightmare.
He’s real—and fate won’t let either of them go.

Fae mage Araya Starwind has survived the New Dominion’s brutal rule by keeping her head down and her magic leashed. To stay safe, she binds herself to a powerful human mage—Jaxon Shaw—whose protection comes at a steep and controlling cost.

But when the fae male from her dreams turns out to be the missing prince, Araya is drawn into a conflict she never asked for—and a connection she can’t escape.

Now, she’s caught between two impossible choices: obey the laws that keep her caged, or risk everything for a freedom she never believed in.

✨ A dark fae romantasy full of forbidden magic, twisted loyalties, and slow-burning tension. Perfect for fans of ACOTAR, The Prison Healer, and From Blood and Ash.

🔥🐉 A New Quest Begins… 🐉🔥

Unemployed? Yes.
Unmotivated? Never.
This little book dragon is out of coin but rich in unread tomes 🐲📚

So while I’m not hoarding gold at the moment, I am hoarding stories. And it’s high time I start making a dent in my towering TBR pile. I’m calling this my “Read What You’ve Hoarded” challenge — starting with the physical books already in my lair.

✨ Goal: Read as many as I can before I land my next quest (aka: job).
✨ Rule: No buying new scrolls—er, books—unless they’re already en route or free.
✨ Mood: Cozy, chaotic, and a little bit feral.

Follow along to see what treasures I uncover from the hoard 💫

🦑 From Chaos Comes Love
⭐ 4/5 | 🌶️ 4.5/5

Chaos (Kouse) and Marea are such a fun, chaotic couple—and I mean that in the best way.

He’s trying to break his people’s biological curse. She’s healing from deep trauma. Together? Sparks and tentacles fly.

This was my first Cthulhu/human romance (I usually stick with dragons 🐉), and I was hooked. The spice is wildly creative, the romance is intense, and I finished it in less than 48 hours.

My only gripe? One major plot thread wrapped a little too fast—but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride.

If you’re in the mood for something weird, sweet, and seriously spicy, Claimed by the Cthulhu delivers.

The Chained Prince by Becca Calder (out June 3rd) is a debut that delivers. If you love ACOTAR-style fantasy with fated mates, twisted bargains, and shadow magic—this one’s for you.

👑 Loren: A broken prince trying to protect the girl he loves, even if it means pushing her away (I swooned and screamed).
🔥 Araya & Jaxon: That toxic first love dynamic? Written so well. I saw the red flags creeping in, and now I need book 2 to watch it all unravel.

This world was rich, the pacing hit just right, and I couldn’t stop turning pages.

Tropes you’ll love:
👑 Lost prince in chains
🖤 Toxic first love
🔥 Forced proximity
✨ Fated mates (but complicated)
🖤 Enemies to something more
🔥 Dark bargains & shadow magic

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

✨️ THREE GRUMPY GROOMSMEN by @emmafoxxwrites ✨️
Coming February 14th!

📚 Why you will love this book…
💍 Why Choose
🔥 MFMM
💍 Billionaire (x2)
🔥 Friends to Lovers
💍 Jilted Bride
🔥 They Fall First
💍 Road Trip
🔥 Enemies to Lovers

💍 Teaser:
I’ve had a thing for Ivy Scott since I first laid eyes on her a year ago. She’s smart, sexy, and everything I’ve ever wanted.

Too bad she was engaged to one of my best friends.

But that idiot left her at the altar.

As one of the groomsmen, I had to step up, right? Even if that meant a cross-country road trip with the other two groomsmen—her best friend, Liam, and my best friend, Harrison—to the beach house she inherited in South Carolina.

Sure, her car’s tiny, she’s hungover, and Liam and Harrison hate each other (despite hooking up almost a year ago). What could go wrong?

Oh, just finding out Liam’s in love with Ivy too.

And then there’s the rainstorm, the one-room motel with two beds, and us getting a lot closer.

By the time we reach Honeysuckle Harbor, the math becomes simple: two beds turn into one, and our nights become unforgettable.

Ivy and Liam might think this is just a fling before we all go back to our lives in California, but Harrison and I? We’re in love for the first time, and we’re not letting go.

Three Grumpy Groomsmen is a jilted bride, why choose rom-com with grumpy-sunshine combos galore, a dash of millionaires roughing it at a questionable motel, and a girl who gets her man… times three. No cheating, no OW/OM drama, and a guaranteed HEA!
