This week's Friday snippet comes from Enchanting the Fae Queen, which is out now in ebook, paper, and audiobook!

stephanieburgis.com/books/enchanting-the-fae-queen

#romancelandia

Against a background of dark violets and green leaves is shown the illustrated cover of Enchanting the Fae Queen, in which a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sits perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger.
Above that cover image is this snippet of text:
He could not bear a world without his nemesis in it.

Folk Around and Find Out by Penny Reid - Books of My Heart

I have loved every Winston Brothers series book and now we have a new spinoff series, the Modern Folktales. The characters featured are friends and sort of relations to the Winstons.

🎧 The Queen's Price by Anne Bishop - Books of My Heart

The Queen’s Price by Anne Bishop is the 12th book in The Black Jewels series. The original trilogy of this series is still my favorite, just be warned it probably includes just about any trigger you could possibly have. The rest of the books set in this world I’ve still enjoyed very much, some more […]

Ghost of Gotham by Craig Schaefer - Books of My Heart

🎧 The Replacement by Matt Brolly

Liam Kilshaw is our point of view for almost everything. He's a former Marine with PTSD after being caught underwater and almost drowning. He still loves the sea and is a member of a lifeboat rescue team. He has a son but never married the mother as he was stationed away. Liam is contemplating his life as men in their 20s turn up on or near the sea and badly beaten in cloth bags.
